Quotes


In the song “A Fish On land,” Lhasa De Sela uses the symbols and archetypes of fish, water, and transformation to express the theme of life’s struggle.  According to Anthony Stevens, “water symbolizes the whole of potentiality: it is the fons et origo, the source of all possible existence (130).” The struggle of life is not an easy journey: “A fish on land gasping for breath (Lhasa De Sela)”.  Once he overcame the struggles in his life, “ he grew and he became a man” and completed his transformation (Lhasa De Sela)

Dream

I have always dreamed of traveling the world. It is important to explore the world, for you only live once. I want to travel the world because the world is full of beauty and surprises. Even though I have not traveled the world yet, I plan on traveling the world one day, and seeing all the places the world has to offer.
