In a golden cage Little hummingbird Lived With clipped wings And fettered by its owner Voiceless Hopeless Until she saw him Fluttering around the cage Trying to break the chains Sharing the nectar A beautiful reminder Of love, hope and life. -JMJ
“Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.”
Laini Taylor
“Make up your mind that no matter what comes your way, no matter how difficult, no matter how unfair, you will do more than simply survive. You will thrive in spite of it.”
Joel Osteen
“There is a saying in Tibetan, ‘Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.’No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that’s our real disaster.”
Dalai Lama XIV
“Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.”
Nelson Mandela
The mankind has survived through the toughest of battles sometimes with nothing but hope, courage and determination. And it’s that qualities we need, when we find ourselves in a deep hole filled with darkness – to keep us going, to find the light andto thrive.
When we are really feeling down,all we have to do is to look for a sign to keep going on… Nature has it’s own way of giving us hope and an excellent ability to put a smile on a crying face.
Once full of life, It gave lives to many, Sunshine was its friend, Who used to put happiness on its face, And breeze its companion, With whom it loved to dance. Then the time changed, Starting to change its colour, Was the first sign of ageing, Now the sunshine was nomore tender, And the breeze transformed into storm. Disgraced and battered, It fell on the ground, Lying there, It was stepped by many, But it took that chance to leave an imprint, On their path forever.
It snowed here on the last day of March as if weather agreed to my mood on that day. It would not be complete without a proper song accompanying the video and I think that would be the song from the animated film Frozen.
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight Not a footprint to be seen A kingdom of isolation And it looks like I’m the queen The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I’ve tried Don’t let them in, don’t let them see Be the good girl you always have to be Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know Well, now they know Let it go, let it go Can’t hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn away and slam the door I don’t care what they’re going to say Let the storm rage on The cold never bothered me anyway It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all It’s time to see what I can do To test the limits and break through No right, no wrong, no rules for me I’m free Let it go, let it go I am one with the wind and sky Let it go, let it go You’ll never see me cry Here I stand and here I stay Let the storm rage on My power flurries through the air into the ground My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast I’m never going back, the past is in the past Let it go, let it go When I’ll rise like the break of dawn Let it go, let it go That perfect girl is gone Here I stand in the light of day Let the storm rage on The cold never bothered me anyway
As someone who has seen Frozen many times with my daughter, my day, the weather and the song were perfect match together.
