I am unwrit­ten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just begin­ning, the pen's in my hand, end­ing unplanned

Star­ing at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty win­dow
Let the sun illu­min­ate the words that you could not find

Reach­ing for some­thing in the dis­tance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhib­i­tions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench your­self in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

I break tra­di­tion, some­times my tries are out­side the lines
We've been con­di­tioned to not make mis­takes
But I can't live that way

Star­ing at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty win­dow
Let the sun illu­min­ate the words that you could not find

Reach­ing for some­thing in the dis­tance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench your­self in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Star­ing at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty win­dow
Let the sun illu­min­ate the words that you could not find

Reach­ing for some­thing in the dis­tance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench your­self in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench your­self in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

PAU '06 :: The Right To Die

Posted by eLynx in PAEG on May 30, 2007

Prueba de Acceso a la Uni­ver­sidad
Bachiller­ato LOGSE, curso 2005-06, supuesto 4

THE RIGHT TO DIE

Ramón Sampedro was para­lyzed from the neck down in a diving acci­dent as a young man. He had his music, his radio and tele­vi­sion, his vis­it­ors, his win­dow view. He could con­trol a com­puter, and write using a pen he held in his mouth. He was cared for by his fam­ily, his brother and sister-in-law, his nephew, the law­yer from a Right-to-Die organ­iz­a­tion, and Rosa, the woman from town who worked as a disc jockey and ped­alled her bike out one day to meet him. His fam­ily loved him and didn't com­plain about the bur­den; his brother, in fact, was com­pletely opposed to euthanasia.
     The film "The Sea Inside" is based on Ramón's life. In 1998 he suc­ceeded in dying after plan­ning his death in such an ingeni­ous way that, even if all the details were dis­covered, no one could be leg­ally charged with the crime. Sampedro is played by Javier Bardem, an actor of charm and gentle mas­cu­line force. In "The Sea Inside", Ramón does not care to live any longer and demands the right to die. He argues his point with great con­vic­tion.
     Bardem and Ale­jandro Amenábar, the film's dir­ector, do not believe every­one in Sampedro's pos­i­tion should die. "This is simply the story of one man," they say.

Friends

Posted by eLynx in Reading on January 2, 2007 

I fear it's very wrong of me,
And yet I must admit,
When someone offers friendship
I want the whole of it.
I don't want everybody else
To share my friends with me.
At least, I want one special one,
Who, indisputably,

Likes me much more than all the rest,
Who's always on my side,
Who never cares what others say,
Who lets me come and hide
Within his shadow, in his house –
It doesn't matter where –
Who lets me simply be myself,
Who's always, always there.

Elizabeth Jennings
