sigur ros

this video exudes the feelings I have inside me at the moment.. slow and floating, but full of intense inspiration

your eyes must do some raining if you're ever gonna grow

yesterday was heavy, but today will prove to be a new start. a new wind will give speed to your sails, and the calmness and peace that seemed like an unreachable memory, will lay a firm hand around you. the sunbeams that felt only like a ray of dead white light, will give warmth to you again and life will grow before your eyes. do not despair, for the waves in life go up as well as down

i have cried in front of flowers

Ludovico Einaudi – L'Origine Nascosta

as he watched them lower his love into the ground, his life strangely flashed before his eyes. he thought of the little flower shop that had been his life and his passion all those years, until he met the girl who took away his breath, and gave to him life. he thought of the mornings in bed, when the warm sun softly lit up her face, and how he would realize more and more that time had laid his shadow on her. he thought about how he would always look at her with deep reverence and the warmest feeling of love, and how her aging skin felt softer and softer every time he held around her. now they would never touch again

 many a time have i cried in front of flowers, he thought. but never before like this

black and white love
