Both Sides Now

Viimased 5 nädalat on viinud mu sõpruskonnast 3 inimest, kellest kaks olid nooremad kui 30. See, et ainus hetk, mis meile antud, on SIIN ja PRAEGU, pole mingi esoteerika ega woo-doo, vaid ELU. 
Seepärast tuleb väljendada oma tõelisi tundeid, mõtteid ja soove ning teha seda, mida tegelikult teha tahame...ja seda kohe PRAEGU. 
Kõike korraga ei saa, jõua ega peagi, kuid kusagilt saab kindlasti alustada ...

Last 5 weeks have taken three people from my friend´s circle, two of them have been younger than 30. The saying that the only moment we ever have is HERE and NOW, is no esotericism or woo-doo, this is LIFE. 
Therefore we need to be expressing our true feelings, thoughts and wishes and do what we really want to be doing ... right NOW. 
There is no need to do everything at once but I´m sure it is possible to start from somewhere ...





BOTH SIDES NOW

Joni Mitchell

Rows and flows of angel hair 
and ice cream castles in the airand feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way.


But now they only block the sun, 
they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done, 
but clouds got in my way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
from up and down and still somehow.
It's cloud's illusions I recall,

I really don't know clouds at all.


Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, 
the dizzy dancing way that you feel
as every fairy tale comes real, 
I've looked at love that way. 

But now it's just another show, 
you leave 'em laughing when you go
and if you care, don't let them know, 
don't give yourself away. 

I've looked at love from both sides now,
from give and take and still somehow
it's love's illusions I recall.
I really don't know love at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud, 
to say "I love you" right out loud
dreams and schemes and circus crowds, 
I've looked at life that way.

Oh but now old friends they're acting strange, 
they shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Well something's lost, but something's gained 
in living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now,
from win and lose, and still somehow
it's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.

I've looked at life from both sides now, 
from up and down, and still somehow 
it's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.
