Take it and leave it

"Take any emotion -- love for a woman, or grief for a loved one, or what I'm going through, fear and pain from a deadly illness. If you hold back on the emotions -- if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them -- you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails.

But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely. You know what pain is. You know what love is. You know what grief is. And only then can you say, 'all right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognize that emotion.

Now I need to detach from that emotion for a moment.''

So sing me a lullaby,
let me sleep tight tonight.

Goodbye

心承载着伦敦的天气
眼睛像苏格兰的天空 晴雨交替 不由自己

心依然揪得有些疼 极其努力抚平
至少一切都很安宁

You're just asleep.
When you're awake, you'll be in heaven.

-----

再见。
