“A part of us always remains when we leave somewhere. It is a part we can never reclaim even if we revisit the place for it was never ours to begin with. There is so little of ourselves that belongs to us. This body is the earth’s. This heart is yours, and his and theirs. The only thing that is our own is our freedom of will— our freedom to choose our attitudes in life. All else is borrowed. All else is everyone else’s.” — Kamand Kojouri
A part of us always remains
when we leave somewhere.
It is a part we can never reclaim
even if we revisit the place
for it was never ours to begin with.
There is so little of ourselves
that belongs to us.
This body is the earth’s.
This heart is yours,
and his and theirs.
The only thing that is our own
is our freedom of will—
our freedom to choose
our attitudes in life.
All else is borrowed.
All else is everyone else’s.
