It’s a bloom of light
and colors,
smells and odors,
awe and wonder.

It’s a rhythm of bright
lush leaves, searching the sun;
and murky, moist creatures
away from the light,
in the mud.

We cannot enjoy the light
if we don’t live, at least in part
in the shadows.
In the night.

Colorful, lovely birds,
depend on seeds, on bugs,
see how important are for them!
ignoring a part of a whole is completely absurd.

Don’t play God,
don’t save a thing because is cute,
and condemn ugly things
because you don’t understand them,

Enjoy the light
the colors,
but also the murk and the night,
Death is not the end,
if you don’t think only in yourself.
As you are just a part of the cycle of life.

Omen

This strange power of coincidence.
This blind faith in signals.
And interpretations in terms of our beliefs.

When we are down, alone, abandoned.
We want to feel, we need to believe
whatever we want to believe.

But life is complex,
and our conscious mind is not.

This way we expect things that aren’t.
And we believe in what is just not there.

Meanwhile the universe,
indifferent to our thoughts
follows its own uncertain path.

Perspective changes everything.

Can make us miserable
thinking how we could be better.
Can make us happy
seeing how much we have and we are.

If you see the global view
you loose detail
but sometimes this is good.

You’ll see small problems as what they really are.

And you’ll see big problems as challenges.

Then there is always time to go down to the mud
and take care of the small issues.

Fears

La raíz de todos los miedos está en lo desconocido. Es extraño porque dicho de esta forma suena ridículo tener miedo. Pero una y otra vez reaccionamos ante el miedo, no aprendiendo sino encerrándonos en una cáscara de parálisis o peor aún, de ira sin sentido.
