			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was cleaning my stuff, checking whatever I&#8217;ll take back to Brazil (for the holidays) and what I&#8217;ll leave here and I found this poem by one of my old flatmates. Because I suck at keeping papers around, I decided to post it here, to 1) have a safe place for it and 2) show how amazing this guy is. All grammar errors are his fault. :)</p>
<p><quote><b>Nothing Lasts Forever</b></p>
<p>Even a solid rock outcrop will, over time fade away. If everything has its own energy, aura, where does it go? Simple it&#8217;s all part of the whole. So as the tiny single grains of sand lay at the bottom of the ocean or gets swept with the tide up unto the beach. It continues on to have another purpose; it helps create a seabed, which could be home to much sea life or a beautiful beach, which creates landscape or the nesting area for turtles.</p>
<p>The point is here that whenever something is gone doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s the end. It continues on in another form, thought, belief. We too are part of the whole. If there is bad things that happen to you or you find things disappear, broke or just didn&#8217;t last. It had a purpose. It is for us to understand and except this. The grain of sand lying in the beach does not get upset at all. Everything has a purpose.</p>
<p>Nothing lasts forever,<br />
But don&#8217;t wait for &#8220;forever&#8221;<br />
To do the things you choose to do<br />
Or tell people &#8220;I love you&#8221;</p>
<p>A grain of sand was part of a<br />
Majestic mountain<br />
And now its part of the beach<br />
At cape tribulation</p>
<p>For we all feel the pain<br />
We are different but the same<br />
Nothing lasts forever<br />
Even the cold hard rain</quote></p>
<p>Valentino Costa</p>
