„AN EMOTIONAL MENAGERIE” de The School of Life

Cînd mi-am cumpărat cartea „An emotional menagerie” (The School of Life) am descoperit cu uimire cît de multe emoții există!!!
„Inside this book there’s twenty-six
Emotions you might feel.”

Pentru mine, parte din generația copiilor care nu erau întrebați ce simt, a fost ciudat să realizez că am un limbaj extrem de limitat cînd este vorba să-mi descriu emoțiile.
Așa că, m-am hotărît să învăț limbajul emoțiilor.

Mi-a plăcut în mod special DAYDREAMING deoarece, cînd era mic, băiatul meu cel mare mi-a spus, în timp ce eu îl cicăleam cu lucruri de făcut: „Mama, lasă-mă, acum vreau să visez.”

„D is for Daydreaming”

„If Daydreaming was an animal,
It would live in the trees,
Staring out at land and sky,
Forgetting what is sees.

It slouches in those moments when
We let our minds just wonder,
And lose track of the time as we
Invent, imagine, ponder.

We might say we are lost in thought;
Perhaps we’re miles away.
We’re letting idle fancies free
To wander where they may.

Some grown-ups don’t like Daydreaming;
They’d rather we were working.
They think it’s a distraction from
Important tasks we’re shirking.

But Daydreaming’s a kind of work:
It helps us clear our brains
So thoughts we’ve as yet just half-thought,
Can now make themselves plain.

Try to dream once a day
And see what comes to mind.
Perhaps write down the thoughts that come
And see what you can find.”
