WHISPERS OF LOVE

Last night I woke up crying, because I dreamed that you were walking away from me and although it may seem unreal; you were sleeping, as Juliet shouted “Romeo, Romeo, where are you that I do not see you?” Do not laugh at me! Because it was a terrible nightmare, to think that I was losing you.

But I am with you! And when I woke up, I opened my eyes and felt your breath; as I caressed and saw you next to me. What a wonderful gift and privilege! To be able to wake up, to realize that it was just an awful dream. That instead it is a wonderful reality. To have you for me!

UN TESORO EN TI

Cuando leí el cuento de Fausto (Una historia muy original de un hombre que busca incansablemente la felicidad); me pareció SORPRENDENTE que encontrara esa felicidad tan anhelada, en el servicio que realizo en favor de otras personas.  Y recordé, que cuando era un niño me aterraba la idea de crecer y perder el maravilloso mundo que me rodeaba, la compañía de mis padres, las bromas de mis hermanos, los juegos con mis amigos, las palabras llenas de ternura y la forma cariñosa con que ellos me hablaban.

A TREASURE IN YOUR HEART.

When I read the story of Fausto (A very original story of a man who tirelessly seeks happiness); I found it SURPRISING that he found that happiness he so longed for, in the service he performed in favor of other people. It was then that I remembered when I was a child I was terrified of growing up and losing the wonderful piece of the world that surrounded me. The company of my parents, the jokes of my brothers, the games with my friends. All the words of tenderness and the loving way with which they spoke to me.

IMPOSSIBLE DESIRE…

When a person dies a separation of body and spirit occurs. And even though we cannot see them physically, they never separate from our side as they remain in our memories, thoughts and hearts.

In the light of a lantern in twilight! Sitting on a rock, dazed and without a fixed point, I direct my gaze towards the empty environment, wrapped in an inexplicable loneliness Dreaming of going back home!

What an impossible wish! I have asked, whispering into the wind, to allow me a moment more; even if I must steal it from eternity, just to see you again!

DESEO IMPOSIBLE…

Cuando una persona muere ocurre una separación de cuerpo y espíritu. Y aunque no podamos verle físicamente, nunca se separa de nuestro lado ya que permanece en nuestros recuerdos, pensamientos y corazones.  

A la luz de un farol ¡En penumbras!  Sentado sobre una roca, aturdido y sin punto fijo, dirijo la mirada hacia el entorno vacío, envuelto en una inexplicable soledad ¡Soñando con volver a casa!

¡Cuán imposible deseo! Le he pedido a la vida susurrándole al viento, que me permita un instante más; aunque tenga que robárselo a la eternidad ¡Solo para verte de nuevo!

THE WORLD IS THE WAY IT IS! AND I CAN NOT CHANGE IT …

In one of the songs that Alejandra Guzman sang, was the phrase: THE WORLD IS THE WAY IT IS! AND I CAN NOT CHANGE IT; to exemplify what her daughter would have to face when she arrived in this world. Or as a warning that: even if she wanted to bring her to live in a perfect world, she could not give it to her! This phrase belongs to a beautifully inspirational person. A phrase that Alejandra Guzmán has embodied in letters and melodies; to turn it into a beautiful song, which expresses feelings of a mother as she waits for her baby.

Making decisions about the education of children is like entering a labyrinth. One where you will always find yourself trapped in the middle of a crossroads of advice and experiences that others want to give you so that you do not make the same mistakes they committed when educating their children. Advice and experiences in which many times we forget everything that we ourselves lived by when we were teenagers and lacked responsibilities.

¡EL MUNDO ES COMO ES! Y NO PUEDO CAMBIARLO.

En una de las canciones que Alejandra Guzman escribió, se incluye esta frase: ¡EL MUNDO ES COMO ES! Y NO PUEDO CAMBIARTELO; para ejemplificar lo que su hija tendría que enfrentar al llegar a este mundo.  O como advertencia de que:  aunque ella quisiera traerla a vivir a un mundo perfecto ¡No podría dárselo!  Esta frase pertenece a una de las inspiraciones más bellas, que Alejandra Guzmán a plasmado en letras y sonidos; para convertirla en una hermosa melodía, que expresa los sentimientos de una madre cuando espera a su bebe.

Hablar de la educación de los hijos es como meterse a un laberinto; donde siempre te vas a encontrar atrapado en medio de una enredadera de consejos y experiencias que otros te quieren dar para que no cometas los mismos errores, que ellos cometieron al educar a sus hijos.  Consejos y experiencias en las cuales muchas veces nos olvidamos de todo lo que nosotros mismos ¡Vivimos!  cuando fuimos adolescentes y carecíamos de responsabilidades.

SOY UN COPIADOR…

Cuando nos enamoramos y hablamos de amor, hacia alguien que nos gusta; somos cuidadosos, esforzándonos por hacer todo lo que le agrada a la otra persona.  Tratando de no cometer errores o faltas que puedan herir sus sentimientos. Como seres humanos siempre estamos anhelando lo que no tenemos, por eso luchamos por conquistar el amor de quien nos gusta, esforzándonos por llegar hasta su corazón para poder tenerle a nuestro lado. Pero cuando ya lo hemos logrado cometemos muchos errores.  También, le damos más valor a lo que hemos perdido que a lo que poseemos aun cuando en muchas ocasiones ni siquiera estemos seguros de que realmente haya sido nuestro.  Uno de los principales errores que cometemos es que dejamos de ser perceptibles a lo que le gusta, quiere o necesita nuestro ser amado.  Y comenzamos a actuar como lo harían nuestros hermanos, tíos, padres, amigos o vecinos; olvidándonos de vivir nuestra vida para vivir la vida de los demás; dentro de nuestra relación en pareja.  Con lo cual nos volvemos copiadores que después de haber conquistado el amor del ser querido, nos dedicamos a perderlo día con día por nuestras acciones.  Ya que sin darnos cuenta, nos perdemos a nosotros mismos, sintiéndonos frustrados o confundidos.  Y si no reaccionamos a tiempo podemos perder la oportunidad de ser felices; porque si no somos felices con nosotros mismo no podemos hacer feliz a nadie más. Todo como consecuencia por simplemente dejar de ser auténticos y originales.

EL COPIADOR

¡Soy un copiador!  Y copio todo lo que está a mi paso.

¡Soy un copiador!  De sueños ilusiones triunfos y fracasos.

¡Cuando aprenderé!  Que el amor siempre hace daño.

¡Cuando entenderé!  Que para amar hay que ser real

 y no solo copia fiel de un retrato.

THE COPIER

When we fall in love with someone we like; We are careful, striving to do everything that pleases the other person. Trying not to make mistakes that hurt our partner’s feelings. As human beings we are always yearning for what we do not have, that is why we fight have the love of the person we like returned, striving to reach their heart. For the possibility to be able to have them by our side. But when we have already achieved it, we are bound to make mistakes. We give more value to what we have lost than to what we have, even though in many occasions we are not even sure that it has really been ours. One of the main mistakes we make is that we stop caring about what our loved one likes, wants or needs. And we began to act as our brothers, uncles, parents, friends or neighbors would; forgetting to live our life to be a part of the life of the other. To live as a couple. With which we become copiers that after having conquered the love of the loved one, we dedicate ourselves to losing it day after day by our actions. Because without realizing it, we lose ourselves, by feeling frustrated or confused. And if we do not react in time we can lose the opportunity to be happy; because if we are not happy with ourselves we cannot make anyone else happy. All therefore by simply ceasing to be authentic and original.

THE COPIER

I’m a copier! And I copy everything that I see

I’m a copier! Of dreams, delusions, triumphs and failures.

When will I learn! That love always hurts.

When will I understand! That to love you, I must be real

 and not just a faithful copy of any portrait.

IMAGINATION

Sometimes, all we need is a little imagination to solve our problems; to feel happy, or to build realities with which we achieve success in. Everyone at some point in their life have imagined something; then managed to turn it into reality. With imagination have developed the wonderful animated characters who have shared our childhood. With imagination we have developed the greatest inventions of all times. With imagination, whole nations have been conquered. With imagination, humanity has broken many barriers. I would even dare say that with imagination, we make sense of our own life. When we are sad it is enough to imagine ourselves in a happy moment to feel better; but also, with a powerful imagination we may project ourselves towards a better future. In school we learned that the mind is powerful, capable of designing and creating a whole world around us. I have learned through experience: that if we develop our minds in an environment where there are no limits to our imagination, without losing a sense of reality, standing firm in our intellectual, moral and spiritual principles, we will be able to have success in our life. Don’t let the past trap you. Don’t let failure stop you. Don’t let negative comments hurt you. Strive to develop your ideas and smile to the hope of one day being happy; let touches of imagination illuminate your heart. And so, you become the light that brightens every day.

IMAGINATION

I’m going to ask the stars for a sign!  That will lead me to the vast terrain

of Never Land, I want to dance over the water with Peter Pan and

demonstrate that life is beautiful if we know how to dream and live it.

I’m going to fly, over cotton clouds! I’m going to sail, on cardboard boats!

I’m going to paint, the whole world with love! All this with Imagination!
