Interesting Feelings

I have to say that today was a wonderful day. Accomplished many things and I am working on an interesting inner project that is creating mixed feelings. Totally hard to explain, however very reasonable.

Here it is, my ideal type of couple has always been someone who I can talk about many things and enjoy the time that we spend....on the other hand, I also want someone who I feel attracted to phisically.... blue eyes, beautiful smile, thin, tall, nice face factions, such as small nose, mouth, etc.... I haven´t found my ideal man phisically yet....and in Mexico the chances are next to zero.....oh well.... I have found many who I can talk to and laugh with.... but..... am I going to find that phisically ideal man?

I certainly think that I must find someone close enough that can make me shake!

Where are you? I am trying to find you and I am getting very tired.... God, do you think that I am putting my faith in a very vague characterístics.... You have sent 2 individuals already that are nice but not near to my ideals.....are you testing me God? Does anyone have a feedback on this one?

Good night! (madrugada)

Cerrando Círculos

Una amiga mía el dia de hoy me hizo ver que no soy desordenada. Yo insistía en que sí lo soy por tener una caja llena de papeles del año del caldo, osea de cuadernos de primaria, de cuadernos de no sé que y muchas cosas de niña....ella me dijo: y eso es ser desordenada? le dije pues sí.

Me contestó: no no lo es.... eso es no querer trabajar con tu pasado y cerrar ese círculo!! qué te molesta o que hay de tu pasado que no lo quieres dejar o soltar y sigue ahi? Me dejó pasmada....y ahora sólo me queda la tarea de empezar a rascarle y empezar a dejar y a soltar mi pasado...y si... en esa caja había muchos escritos míos de poemas que escribía y muchas cositas y detallitos, incluso juguetitos que tenía de niña--........

Empezaré a sacar una a una de las cosas que tengo ahí y empezaré a reflexionar el por qué las quiero retener....

Sal de Ti

Si eres lo que eres, sirve, ama, da;
pero nunca digas que eres más que los demás.

Si eres sabio, calla. Que el mundo descubra en tí la sabiduría.

En esa sonrisa que das a la anciana, en ese saludo que das al amigo, en esa caricia que haces al niño, entrégate!

El mundo está cansado de oír:
"yo soy", "yo hago", "yo sirvo". Pregúntate desde ahora: "¿Quién soy?", ¿Qué hago?, ¿A dónde Voy?; y sé tan sabio para enseñar a los demás en tu acción más pequeña que, dándolo todo, parezca que no das nada.

The Voice of Silence

Without silence, it is difficult to find God.

Sin silencio es difícil encontrar a Dios.

René Voillaume

I was invited to a silence retreat for 3 days about one year ago. I can´t recall if I had shared this or not at that time, but I had a comment yesterday regarding silence and finding God in it.

It is so true that when we cannot stay put or without music, it is because we don´t want to hear ourselves and ultimately is our conscious and God is in it.

If we all would talk about things that we truly comprehend, there would be a lot of silence in this world! Claudio Sperelli

Freedom

This bird....(have not idea what his/her name is) was amazing flying up and then diving into the waves!

I loved it ....it made me feel so happy and relaxed. I simply watched him and then more birds join him/her. It was beautiful to see them all together. In the mean time my friends were chatting away with a couple we met. I had to leave them for a bit because this bird caught my attention so much that I needed to catch him diving and going up! It reflects my situation somehow...free... but am I really free? I am attached to many chains... I am attached to a job, to a responsibility with my home, my family, my friends. Whenever I turn around I am called aunt even by my friend´s kids and that is an awesome feeling. When my niece runs and hugs me and says I missed you...wow... I just love it.

Anyway, yes everybody has freedom and at the same time chains that attach you and don´t let you be so free.

Sometimes we are up, and sometimes we are down and sometimes we dive and land on soft land or sometimes we land on a very hard land.

The bird planned every single move that was going to do. I learned that I must start planning ahead and calculate exactly what I want to reach and where I want to land.
