And although I set out to write about various topics, seventy percent of the emails I receive are written with Silent Tears.
Once again, it is raining, and once again, I feel the urge to go out barefoot, to run through the rain and make paper boats. It seems I still do not understand—or perhaps I simply refuse to grasp—that I no longer have the steadfastness and security of your hand that makes me feel like a child again.

Judas Iscariot was his own Accuser, Judge, and Executioner. He showed himself no mercy when confronted by the dictates of his own conscience.

They develop the perception to appreciate, through action and effect, everything that surrounds them.
Last night I dreamt of you, and I could see your face. My body trembled with the emotion of simply being able to see you again…
Have you ever had a dream beating strongly within your heart, struggling to break free from your innermost being, to materialize and become something real that can live forever by your side and not remain a mere idea inside your brain? Continue reading “DREAM CREATOR”
As a Hispanic, I follow the Latin belief that cats have seven lives. Although in other cultures it is suggested that cats have six or nine lives. This has triggered a series of mythical, malevolent, good or bad luck, and even reincarnation stories around the world throughout centuries of human existence. But according to science, the mysticism of a cat’s seven lives is explained by its surprising bodily agility, anatomical structure, and multiple survival skills that help it overcome dangerous situations.
Every dawn is a warm awakening, renewing my existence as I feel the softness of your fingers caressing my lips. Breathing in the gentleness of your breath that dispels my tiredness. At the same time, the loving gaze of your eyes revitalizes my entire body, because I feed on you to continue living… Continue reading “I FEED ON YOU…”
Recently, Guatemala has gained a lot of notoriety for the achievements attained at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Guatemalan athletes have defended their dreams of winning an Olympic medal. Although most Guatemalans are unaware of the years of preparation and constant struggle of each participant, we have been proud of the performance of each of them. Although we have not actively participated in their personal preparation to be able to participate in the Olympic Games, we have identified with them and embraced their sporting spirit to the point of sharing their dreams of winning an Olympic medal in the different sports in which they participate.
