About me:

I am an award winning director and editor. IF FOR A BRIEF MOMENT GOD FORGETS THAT I AM A MARIONETTE MADE OF CLOTH AND HE WOULD GIVE ME A PIECE OF LIFE, I WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT TIME AT ITS FULLEST. I WOULD POSSIBLY NOT SAY EVERYTHING I THINK, BUT MOST DEFINITELY THINK EVERYTHING I SAY. I WOULD VALUE THINGS, NOT FOR THEIR WORTH, BUT FOR THEIR MEANING. I WOULD SLEEP A LITTLE, DREAM MORE, I UNDERSTAND THAT FOR EACH MINUTE THAT WE CLOSE OUR EYES, WE LOSE SIXTY SECONDS OF LIGHT. I WOULD WALK WHEN THE REST STOP, I WOULD WAKE WHEN THE REST SLEEP. IF GOD WOULD GIVE ME A PIECE OF LIFE, I WOULD DRESS SIMPLY, I WOULD JUMP NAKED INTO THE SUN, LEAVING UNCOVERED, THAT ONLY MY BODY, BUY MY SOUL TOO. I WOULD PROVE TO MEN HOW WRONG THEY ARE TO THINK THEY STOP FALLING IN LOVE WHEN THEY GROW OLD, WITHOUT KNOWING THAT THEY GROW OLD WHEN THEY CEASE TO FALL IN LOVE. TO MY CHILD I WOULD GIVE WINGS, BUT I WOULD LEAVE HIM TO LEARN TO FLY ALONE. TO THE ELDERLY I WOULD SHOW THEM THAT DEATH DOESN'T COME WITH OLD AGE, BUT RATHER WITH FORGETFULNESS. SO MANY THINGS I HAVE LEARNED FROM YOU, MANKIND...I HAVE LEARNED THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO LIVE ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, WITHOUT KNOWING THAT TRUE HAPPINESS LIES IN THE WAY YOU CLIMB IT. I HAVE LEARNED THAT WHEN A NEW BORN BABY HOLDS TIGHTLY WITH HIS SMALL FIST, FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE FINGER OF HIS FATHER, HE'S GOT HIM FOREVER. I HAVE LEARNED THAT A MAN HAS THE RIGHT TO LOOK DOWN ON ANOTHER, BUT ONLY WHEN HE SHOULD HELP HIM UP. SO MANY THINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEARN FROM YOU, BUT THEY WILL NOT BE OF MUCH HELP, FOR WHEN THEY PUT ME INSIDE OF THAT SUITCASE, UNHAPPILY I WILL BE DYING. ALWAYS SAY WHAT YOU FEEL AND DO WHAT YOU THINK. IF I KNEW THAT TODAY WOULD BE THE LAST TIME THAT I WOULD SEE YOU SLEEP, I WOULD EMBRACE YOU TIGHTLY AND I WOULD PRAY TO THE LORD SO I COULD BE THE GUARDIAN OF YOUR SOUL. IF I KNEW THESE WERE THE LAST SECONDS THAT I WOULD SEE YOU, I WOULD SAY 'I LOVE YOU' AND I WOULD NOT DUMBLY ASSUME THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW IT. THERE IS ALWAYS A TOMORROW AND LIFE GIVES US ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO DO THINGS WELL, BUT JUST IN CASE I AM WRONG AND TODAY IS ALL THAT WE HAVE, I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. TOMORROW IS NOT GUARANTEED TO ANYONE, YOUNG OR OLD. TODAY COULD BE THE LAST TIME YOU SEE YOUR LOVED ONES. SO WAIT NO LONGER, DO IT TODAY, FOR IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES, SURELY YOU WILL REGRET THE DAY YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE TIME FOR A SMILE, AN EMBRACE, A KISS AND THAT YOU WERE TOO BUSY TO GRANT THEM ONE LAST WISH. KEEP THOSE YOU LOVE CLOSE TO YOU, WHISPER TO THEM HOW MUCH YOU NEED THEM, LOVE THEM AND TREAT THEM WELL, TAKE THE TIME TO SAY 'I LOVE YOU', 'FORGIVE ME','PLEASE', 'THANK YOU' AND ALL THE WORDS OF LOVE THAT YOU KNOW. NOBODY WILL REMEMBER YOU FOR YOUR SECRET THOUGHTS. ASK THE LORD THE STRENGTH AND THE WISDOM TO EXPRESS THEM. SHOW YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE TO YOU. SEND THIS TO ANYONE YOU WANT. IF YOU DO NOT DO IT TODAY, TOMORROW WILL BE THE SAME AS YESTERDAY. AND IF YOU NEVER DO IT, IT DOESN'T MATTER EITHER. THE MOMENT IS NOW. The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love Born out of concern for all beings. .... .. ..
