I'm from A close knit community Some living in luxury Which ease's the pain of those living in poverty We don't feel the classism rivalry Nor do we support the racism in society Full heartedly I'm against that negative ideology I'm positive with my thoughts never half hearted Bring us justice i'm with you no matter the colour Free my sister from… |

The show in Aberystwyth was amazing, It was the first time most off us (Ali,Ahmed,Daud and Bash) watched a thearte show. It was quite interesting because we thought we'd just be watching a show, But it played out quite different. Everyone was given an ipod as soon as you pressed play you'd have to follow the instructions carefully. Every one set out in a different direction, at times it seemed we were in a scary movie, passing graveyards and other ancient site. It was a good tour around the…

Ahmed,
I was reading these the other day and thought they might have meaning for you ... It is a few letters of correspondence between the poet Rilke and an aspiring poet, on what it is (and what is required) to be an artist and a person. You can buy them in a book, or they are here on the Internet :-)

Here is a quote from the first letter:
"You ask whether your verses are any good. You ask me. You have asked others before this. You send them to magazines. You compare them with other poems, and you are upset when certain editors reject your work. Now (since you have said you want my advice) I beg you to stop doing that sort of thing. You are looking outside, and that is what you should most avoid right now. No one can advise or help you - no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple "I must", then build your life in accordance with this necessity; your whole life, even into its humblest and most indifferent hour, must become a sign and witness to this impulse.
Then come close to Nature. Then, as if no one had ever tried before, try to say what you see and feel and love and lose."
