"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it."

"Somos Maíz"

Somos la vida
que se teje en el surco
bajo tierra
Somos sueños de espigas
que florecen
al arrullo del sol y el viento.

Oruga que deviene
en alimento
Grano choclo maíz mazorca

Somos maíz
vida nueva

Grano de sol
que se transforma
en la roja sangre
que corre por tus venas

Y la vida dijo:
"sea maíz"
y aparecieron los sueños
en forma de mujer y de hombre.
Somos maíz y sol y vida.

Ana María Gómez "Penélope"

God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars. ~Author unknown, commonly attributed to Martin Luther

La muerte sólo tiene importancia en la medida en que nos hace reflexionar sobre el valor de la vida. / Death has significance insofar as it makes us reflect on the value of the life we live.

I sometimes hold it half a sin / To put in words the grief I feel; / For words, like Nature, half reveal / And half conceal the Soul within. ~Alfred Tennyson

Section 5, from the poem In Memoriam A.H.H.

I sometimes hold it half a sin
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.

But, for the unquiet heart and brain,
A use in measured language lies;
The sad mechanic exercise,
Like dull narcotics, numbing pain.

In words, like weeds, I'll wrap me o'er,
Like coarsest clothes against the cold;
But that large grief which these enfold
Is given outline and no more.

El gran estilo nace cuando lo bello obtiene la victoria sobre lo enorme. ~Nietzsche

....
I exist as I am, that is enough,
If no other in the world be aware I sit content,
And if each and all be aware I sit content.

One world is aware and by far the largest to me, and that is myself,
And whether I come to my own to-day or in ten thousand or ten
million years,
I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness I can wait.

from Walt Whitman "Song of Myself"

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. ~Rabindranath Tagore
