The beauty around me

Noi siamo nati per osservare e ascoltare questo mondo; è solo così che, anche senza riuscire nella vita, possiamo trovare, possiamo davvero trovare, un senso alla nostra esistenza.

Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

But the rose leaves herself upon the brier, For winds to kiss and grateful bees to feed.

I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me, too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.
