the important act is dreaming
so let dreams flood over you endlessly
along with the intense desire to make some of them come true
and let's love what should be loved
and forget what should be forgotten
let's wish for passions
as well as silences
and bird song upon awakening
and the laughter of children.
let us resist being swallowed up
and resist indifference
resist the negative virtues of our age.
above all, let us all just be, and be ourselves.
or try to - for as long as we can, as hard as we can.
-rewritten by Bernard Moitessier from Jacques Brel quotation in A Sea Vagabond's World
