All changes, even the most desired ones, carry a certain melancholy, because what we leave behind is part of ourselves. But you have to die in one life before you are born in another.
Anatole France
Alone
From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn
Of a most stormy life—was drawn
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still—
From the torrent, or the fountain—
From the red cliff of the mountain—
From the sun that ’round me roll’d
In its autumn tint of gold—
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by—
From the thunder, and the storm—
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view—

"Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake...It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one"

Que los astros te van a ver
Que un buen trago no viene mal
Cuando pega la vida con tanta sed

"We must keep our mind happy and contented. Come what may, we have to keep a contended mind. A discontentment or grumbling mind, even if it gets everything on this planet, still it will remain miserable. Nothing whatsoever in the universe can ever give you contentment. You have to bring it to yourself. And when does that happen? It happens when you let go and understand. Purity, Clarity, and Contentment, is the formula for happiness."

Cumplo 50
años hoy y la mitad de siglo es un hito que uno ve siempre
lejano hasta que ocurre. Y cuando
ocurre, es fuerte y relevante y no creo que sea bueno dejarlo pasar sin
más. Por eso estoy muy contento de poder
festejar, y cuando digo festejar me refiero a agradecer; agradecer por todas
las experiencias ocurridas en el camino, agradecer a las personas que me acompañaron y
ayudaron y agradecer llegar en el estado actual con alegrías y tristezas, achaques,
dolores y fortalezas.

"None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop
treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in
the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you’re carrying in
your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no
time for anything else.”
Keanu Reeves' story of life
