I am not jealous of what came before me. come with a man on your shoulders, come with a hundred men in your hair, come with a thousand men between your breasts and your feet, come like a river full of drowned men which flows down to the wild sea, to the eternal surf, to time! bring them all to where i am waiting for you; we shall always be alone, we shall always be you and i alone on earth, to start our life!

I Am Not Jealous Of What Came

Pablo Neruda

I am not jealous of what came before me. come with a man on your shoulders, come with a hundred men in your hair, come with a thousand men between your breasts and your feet, come like a river full of drowned men which flows down to the wild sea, to the eternal surf, to time! bring them all to where i am waiting for you; we shall always be alone, we shall always be you and i alone on earth, to start our life!

More From Pablo Neruda

Hear and attend and listen; for this is what befell and be-happened and became and was, o my best beloved, when the tame animals were wild. the dog was wild, and the horse was wild, and the cow was wild, and the sheep was wild, and the pig was wild -as wild as wild could be - and they walked in the wet wild woods by their wild lones. but the wildest of all the wild animals was the cat. he walked by himself and all places were alike to him

So you say, with your shiny hair and pouty lips - and those breasts - just wait till you start dropping whelps, they'll be at your ankles one day, big as they are - not the whelps, the breasts. the whelps will be in your hair - no, not the shiny hair on your head, well, yes, that hair, but only as a manner of speech.

I don't understand all these breasts right now, and they don't look like breasts. they look like someone's taken a grapefruit half and inserted it under your skin. i mean it's - it doesn't even bear any resemblance to what a natural breast looks like. but we're starting to think that this is what women should like. and young girls are looking at these breasts and thinking, oh, i need to go have my breasts done because they've lost touch with what a real breast actually looks like. i find it fascinating, i find it disturbing.

One man with an idea in his head is in danger of being considered a madman: two men with the same idea in common may be foolish, but can hardly be mad; ten men sharing an idea begin to act, a hundred draw attention as fanatics, a thousand and society begins to tremble, a hundred thousand and there is war abroad, and the cause has victories tangible and real; and why only a hundred thousand? why not a hundred million and peace upon the earth? you and i who agree together, it is we who have to answer that question.

The sea of galilee and the dead sea are made of the same water. it flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of herman and the roots of the cedars of lebanon. the sea of galilee makes beauty of it, the sea of galilee has an outlet. it gets to give. it gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the jordan plain. but the dead sea with the same water makes horror. for the dead sea has no outlet. it gets to keep.

I would ... go up to the mailbox and sit in the grass, waiting. ... till it came to me one day there were women doing this with their lives, all over. there were women just waiting and waiting by mailboxes for one letter or another. i imagined me making this journey day after day and year after year, and my hair starting to go gray, and i thought, i was never made to go on like that. ... if there were woman all through life waiting, and women busy and not waiting, i knew which i had to be.

Those who arrive at the end of the journey are not those who began.

Our real journey in life is interior; it is a matter of growth, deepening, and of an ever greater surrender to the creative action of love and grace in our hearts. never was it more necessary to respond to that action.

Religion has been an essential part of my life ever since i was baptised. my personal journey with god has been very important throughout my life.

Nowadays, if you have a journey, albeit a simple one, you consider yourself lucky if nothing happens.
