Why we change our beliefs so quickly?

An elderly woman who was an enthusiastic gardener declared that she had no faith whatsoever in predic­tions that some day scientists would learn to control the weather. According to her all that was needed to con­trol the weather was prayer.
Then one summer, while she was away on a foreign trip, a drought hit the land and wiped out her entire garden. She was so upset when she got back that she changed her religion.
She should have changed her silly beliefs.


A good lesson for many of us...

When Brother Bruno was at prayer one night he was disturbed by the croaking of a bullfrog. All his attempts to disregard the sound were unsuccessful so he shouted from his window, “Quiet! I’m at my prayers.”
Now Brother Bruno was a saint so his command was instantly obeyed. Every living creature held its voice so as to create a silence that would be favourable to prayer.
But now another sound intruded on Bruno’s worship— an inner voice that said, “Maybe God is as pleased with the croaking of that frog as with the chanting of your psalms.” “What can please the ears of God in the croak of a frog?” was Bruno’s scornful rejoinder. But the voice refused to give up: “Why would you think God invented the sound?”
Bruno decided to find out why. He leaned out of his window and gave the order, “Sing!” The bullfrog’s measured croaking filled the air to the ludicrous accompaniment of all the frogs in the vicinity. And as Bruno attended to the sound, their voices ceased to jar for he discovered that, if he stopped resisting them, they actually enriched the silence of the night.

With that discovery Bruno’s heart became harmonious with the universe and, for the first time in his life he understood what it means to pray.

Chris Stapleton created a masterpiece - Tennessee Whiskey

This is an amazing song. These lyrics are awsome.

I used to spend my nights out in a barroom
Liquor was the only love I've known
But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom
And brought me back from being too far gone
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
I've looked for love in all the same old places
Found the bottom of a bottle always dry
But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it
'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey

"Go Ahead and Break My Heart". Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani

I love this couple: Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani. They looks so nice together. 

Ai plecat goala

ai plecat goală
de mine
te-ai ascuns dar eu
voi răsuci de nasturii gîndurilor
pînă cînd se va deschide paltonul
de aer
al locului în care te afli
și atunci pielea mea cu oasele ei nu vor mai
catadicsi să te dezvelească
de viitor
poemul acesta e fix
ca un cîine
cu nările încă lătrînd la splendoarea parfumului tău
el umblă cu labele telepate
pe urma tristeților și părerii
de rău rămase cum
norii vineți și gălăgioși
în urma durerii în urma
plecării
te va găsi
în interiorul meu se va deschide o fantă prin care mă voi teleporta în tine vei vedea materia deschizîndu-și atomii în dreptul nedumeririi tale vei simți cum ochii mei de fapt te înțeleg și te cutreieră pînă la magmă
oh cum de ai crezut c-am să te las
să pleci chiar așa
în pielea visului meu
dezbrăcată
Nu stiu cine a scris-o... dar mi-a placut si am impartit cu voi.

Tacerea ta...

...N-aud acum decat tacerea ta,
Si chipul nu ti-l vad decît în vise
Si mi-as dori sa-ti pot patrunde-n taine,
Dar cum sa intru? …portile-s închise.
Degeaba întind bratul sa te-ating,
Caci nu stiu ce distanta ne desparte
Si n-as vrea sa-ntelegi ca-ti cer ceva
Si nici nu stiu de cine esti acum aproape.
