I'd always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all. It stretches on forever, like an ocean of time. For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout Camp, watching falling stars. And yellow leaves from the maple trees that lined our street. Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper. And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand-new Firebird. And Janie... and Janie. And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst. And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it. And then it flows through me like rain. And I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry, you will someday. [link]

It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. And this bag was, like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in.

I know the movie - impressive and tough. REal good movie.

Well , to me the most beautiful part is the ending of the second link - the girl that understands , gently takes him by the hand and her warm , heartily kiss.
I think that beauty is unbearable cos life is so plain and ugly.
And maybe beauty , all beauty can become bearable if there is some warmth and love and a deep, straightforward understanding between human beings. To me this is the only "engine of survival" =)
And here's a link to support my view. A fortunate case And a another outstanding voice [link]

I'm aware that i may sound so common and "soap" (which i am far from being) - but aren't the really important things in life very simple at the bottom line i wonder.

Love the Pavarotti link, thanks Carina. And I agree with your choice between the two American Beauty clips, and for the same reasons. Cheers, Mike.

I'm totally agree with you!!! And that's not only simple empathy... Sometimes, beauty is so strong for me that I could die... nature, feelings, people... too much intense for an only man as I wrote a day in a poem of mine...

Do you publish your poems anywhere?

nope. Some publishers have contacted me and asked me to participate in a publication,
they asked for money (I do not have much money to produce my own publication), but I found
that very often these publishers are asking for the money and then not following the distribution,
so it does not sell the book.
