Unavoidable

Lately I have been confused and troubled about some basic things like:  who I am.  What I’m doing.  What I’m not doing.  What I should be doing, etc. etc. ad nauseum.  When I get like this I like to read Paulo Coelho, and in case anyone else is feeling that way, here’s why… he writes things like this:

“There is no tragedy, only the unavoidable.  Everything hath its reason for being:  thou needest only distinguish what is temporary from what is lasting.”

“What is temporary?” Asked Elijah.

“The unavoidable”

“And what is lasting?”

“The lessons of the unavoidable.”

This is from  “The Fifth Mountain”.

He also throws around a lot of archaic words I don’t understand like “god” and “warrior” but his books hold a lot of wisdom and are generally a short, easy read if you’re in a place where you need that kind of thing.

Did anyone else happen to notice these incredible lyrics:

When I look back on the best days of my life
I think I watched them all on tv
I am so homesick now for people that I never knew
I am so homesick now for places I can never be

I might have a couple words wrong but wow what a heavy sentiment and so clearly expressed.  I am humbled.
That’s by Sam Endicott from the Bravery.  It’s called “Time Won’t Let Me Go.”
