I've learned some things from having lived:
If you're alive, experience largely, merge with rivers, heavens, cosmos
For what we call living is a gift given to life
And life is a gift bestowed upon us

There is one thing I learned from what I lived: When you live, you must live big, like being one with the rivers, the sky, and the whole universe Because what we call lifetime is a gift presented to life And life is a gift presented to you. | Translated as "There Is One Thing I Learned From What I Lived" by Sãleyman Fatih Akgãl at TC Turkish Poetry Pages
