REBELLION - by jrqc



"...countless times you mentioned your disbelief of achieving anything, yet here you are, immersed in colors with your wings spread wide!- oh, how relieved I am, for this merciless world of ours can make ashes those who dream of a better self..."

"It has indeed been a challenging journey, I must confess, but one that was worthwhile. If I hadn't learned how to navigate and overcome the obstacles I encountered, the outcome would have been significantly different. Certainly there were moments when I sank in sorrow and my strength deserted both my heart and limbs, and it was during those times that I found the knowledge and the courage to persevere because of HIM., We are not granted any knowledge at the moment of our birth, for I believe we learn more both through His gracious mercy and our own mundane ways.."

"I assume it wasn't an easy task to perform. Standing tall often requires facing defeat and acquiring humility. Qualities which are certainly hard to come by I must add. Not that it is impossible for everyone else to obtain, though certainly complicated. Many people don't seem to have the urge to learn beyond what they see or feel. I dare say they seem to be quite comfortable in their own numbness and obliviousness. I suppose they rather stay that way ... But I wonder, why did you find HIS assistance necessary? Shouldn't success be attainable through one's own efforts and will-power as well?" 

"Well, my dear, first, it is essential to embrace simplicity as a means of letting go of pretensions and pride that can corrode the heart for it is HIS principle passed onto us to do so which is logical if you consider and think about it. I, in fact, chose to adopt simplicity as an effective approach. Recognizing your strengths and abilities sets things in motion. Any action you take to achieve something you desire is valid, as long as it is morally acceptable. Anything else is beyond your control, so attempting to change something you cannot is senseless. It's like trying to extinguish the sun; it's impossible. As a second measure, HE provided me with a moral pillar, stable and robust, in the form of a human being, complete with love and flaws. I needed HIS guidance, and I found it through this remarkable person who embodies passion and mystery."

"Certainly, my affection for humans has diminished lately, given their submissive nature to their own world, their shallowness and selfishness . They seem unable to comprehend the extent of their reality or realities, and as a result, they surrender without even realizing it."

"I must say that many souls are aware of their reality. Can't you see me? I have rebelled against this world! And I will resist it until my last breath because this world's sole desire is to crush your dreams and even your soul! So, I have declared myself against it, against its banality and chaos. I am strength; I am the music that envelops everything around me. I am all seasons, making an impact in every direction, and I am myself with a sword and shield made of courage and persistence. It was through HIM, manifested in this human being, that I found the means to continue on this path. Why should one succumb to misery and sadness when, even in this chaotic world, there are still things worth fighting for?"

"I don't think there is anything in this world worth fighting for. Take a look around. Chaos, selfishness and the ridicule of their own selves. Perhaps, only Nature is the exception. Whatever remains is worthless and utterly replaceable by it."

"Not even your own self is worth fighting for? Why have you just implied "theirs" though not yours?. It is your own self and whatever beauty remains in this world worth fighting for. I hate to admit it but, there is still beauty in this chaos. So, rebel with me! You do not even need to hide nor pretend by wearing those horrid masks you possess. You don't need to carry the burden of sadness on your shoulders anymore! Clad yourself in the beauty you already possess and let the roar of your heart be heard and the shine of your smile blind everyone and the thunder of your laughter be heard!"

"Oh my lovely, certainly your words are bathed in the sweetest honey and the color they possess move me; for my imagination and soul seem to be shaken by them. My eyes get watery just by the thought of music, and light as the wind guide the motion of my wings.... I should heed them of course, for I feel they are wise. However, I will only do it for my own profit, and just to be clear, I don't imply any pettiness in my wording. Though certainly I understand one must chisel the self in order to become what the world despises, in this case, happiness and the beauty of the self. So, it is an act of rebellion of course, and one must think in oneself in order to go against all that is wordly."  

"You're indeed right. Now look at yourself. You are resplendent, you have been bathed in the realisation of the self, what more is there to be? Knowledge, passion, music...yes, the divinity of the self, love and care. So now we are rebellion in this grey beautiful world. We are wings!!."

LOVE'S ROMANTIC DEATH - NARRATIVE / SHORT STORY BY JRQC

For Martin, the simple act of getting up was a powerful force that translated into the sensation of morning freshness, as if his existence depended on it. And it was not in vain. He embodied one of those characters capable of making the mind and body flutter, a whirlwind infused with passion for everything representing beauty. When his eyes directly met yours, you felt exposed, as if an eternal flame shone in his honey-colored eyes. He seldom directed his gaze towards people while speaking, but when he did, you felt at his mercy, as if his eyes penetrated the walls of your soul and heart, leaving you exposed. However, I don't complain, as under the shelter of his aura and words, I felt the comforting warmth of that fiery gaze. His gaze intoxicated me, his words bathed me. Yes, that's Martin. That's him, the one I fell in love with. For him, life was a feast offering delicious delicacies and pleasures which he indulged in without distinction or regret. His strength pulled me...

THAT EVENING - by jrqc

You once said that we are entangled to death since the moment we are born, that we are chained to this earthly prison and that there is nothing we can possibly do about it, that all joy sinks countless times and that lovers will always mourn their dead love swallowed by neverending grief. It seems somehow that sadness in all its complexity lingers within, it extends it branches all over without distinction, with no regrets for who the victim is. Some branches seem to be so rooted that it makes the heart break, it makes it bleed tears to the point that you can barely function. Yes, I do still remember that evening when you said that and I noticed your face sinking, your spirit broken. However, you wouldn't divulge the reason of your torment. Your beautiful darkened eyes were bloodshot and you observed me, intently, your eyebrows would frown at times and your stare would grow deeper as if trying to snatch my soul. You stood close to me, I could feel your cold breath, I could feel you...

LIFE

Life is a joy. It makes our spirit grow and we shine our brightest colors, we fill our lives with music and then we fall in love and we try to make it all work, we try with all our might, we keep a smile on our faces and welcome all the bounties that sometimes life offers us.  But life also hurts, and when it does  we crumble down and then we just pick our pieces and put ourselves back together again. We are just broken pieces glued together walking here and there and yet, we manage to smile. We say hello and answer that we are ok, we just walk and continue moving on from everyday battles. Neverending battles. Is that we have left? Life is a gift, but I just wish I wasn't given it. Selfishness and cowardice perhaps come into play, but what can we say when those tears and heartaches seem not to go away? Again, we pick up whatever is left and somehow move on, we rebel against it all trying not to show our scars as we weather the storm, we grow, we move on. Life is beautiful. It ...
