I LOVE this

I mean really love it

everyone else should too



Nirvana by Charles Bukowski read by Tom Waits

I just identify with the character so much.
I guess I do find great beauty & magic in places most people don't even pay any attention to.
Its often small things.
The way the sunlight breaks through the clouds.
The sound & feel of the rain
The breaking of waves on the shore during a storm
A stranger smiling at me in the street
like in the poem, being a customer in a cafe of shop & it being obvious the staff are enjoying their work, laughing, smiling.

& every time I wish I had the courage to stay
To forget about all my neurosis & problems.
To make my life there instead
But I never do

maybe thats for the best.
Those moments can never last forever.
The clouds block out the sun again
The rain makes you cold & wet
The storm goes on for too long
In the store someone makes a mistake & an argument ensues. Or the shift goes on too long & the staff get sick of each other & the customers.

Maybe its better to hold onto that beauty for what it is.
Small isolated moments in time

Moments that I will carry with me forever

Moments that make life worth living
