the noises of the world

quiet, silent, I tried to calm my mind. I organized my papers, I opened a book, I sipped on my cup of tee and tried to calm my spirit.

In one of those moments I supported my face with my left hand and my ear became perfectly aligned my watch. I heard the subtle tic tac of its mechanism working. I heard the wisps of sounds made by my own heart and I thought about life and the frivolity of life, and the ephemerality of life.

time never stops, but my watch will and my heart will

  1. Eu costumo pensar estas coisas quando estou fazendo prova. Isso melhorou bastante nos últimos anos, mas as minhas provas no Anchieta eram mais produtivas que muitas das aulas de Israel. #fredemdorgas

    De uma forma geral acho sempre válido pensar neste tipo de coisa, though.
