Dare to love

Si las manecillas del reloj se detuvieran

Si los tambores dieran el último llamado

Si este corazón dejara de latir

Si el amor se desvaneciera

Quizás todo sería más sencillo

Pero…¿Qué es sencillo en esta vida?

Los corazones se enamoran

Y los latidos sincronizan con la fuerte marea

Y al final: “El amor”, “El amor”

Sólo quiere atraparnos en sus brazos de seda

El final de la historia no interesa

Porque la esencia está en atraverse a amar

Brattleboro in my heart

I hear the peaceful wind of Brattleboro.

I see a beautiful redish sky that makes me think of long lasting love.

I walk and walk, and I keep thinking of you.

A glorious landscape takes my breath away.

Yellow, red, orange leaves.

Stunning New England’s mountains.

Gorgeous trees.

I walk and walk and I keep thinking of you.

I pass by a pond where a leaf happily dances.

I stop to look at it and think to myself:

"This is just the place where I was meant to be."

For a second I feel as if everything is just a dream. I am not here!

But then I realize how lucky I am to keep walking and walking surrounded by my hearty Brattleboro.

As if it were the first time

If a song that you've heard a thousand times still makes you cry or smile
You are alive!
When you look at the world that surrounds you as if you were a child
You are alive!
When you fall in love with someone as you've never fallen in love before
You are alive!
When you explore and feel like flying with your imagination
You are alive!
If your dreams are not dreams anymore
You are alive!
When wonderful furious horses pass by you
You are alive!
When your fears don’t stop you from going on
You are alive!
If a gorgeous puma seems to be about to attack you!
Don’t worry, you will find a way to stay alive!

A rose in a little box

Feeling like a rose in a little box
Trying to stretch out and curious about the outside world
Sometimes lonely, sometimes happy
Every week a rose in a little box came to me
When the box opened along with an honest smile, I felt there was nothing else that could make me happier
Feeling like a rose in a little box
Trying to understand why things have to be the way they are
Sometimes angry, sometimes calm
Every week I would feel the fragrance of a rose coming up from a little box
That was the most beautiful gesture of pure love
My rose in a little box…so grateful you were meant to be mine

Dalgo & Fuji

Little eyes that used to see me open and close the door
Jumping up and down inviting me to play with them
Little eyes and wet snouts
Long fur, short fur
Black and white
White, grey, and brown
Funny little guys
You loved running and running
You loved hearing my words even when you didn’t understand them
and I loved you so much!
Little eyes saying hello
Little eyes saying good-bye
Thank you for so much joy
Thank you for asking nothing in return
Thank you for having been there for me
Little funny guys you’ll always be in my heart
I know you’re together now jumping up and down on puffy clouds
While He takes care of you both
Dalgo & Fuji, I’ll see you around.

Just another day

I put my hand on my chest and I can feel my heart pounding
I close my eyes and I can hear myself breathing
I take a minute to really look at the beautiful small things that life gives me everyday
Wind making trees dance
A love song talking to me
Writing a soulful poem
I just want to take a minute to really understand that I’m here right now
I am on the words that I write
I am on the happy and sad memories that my mind pulls out without permission
Feeling the fragrance of a flower that was thrown out in the middle of the street by some stranger
A sad flower that needs to be taken care of
Needing someone to come to the rescue with a song
But now I am here and…
I start missing those moments that took my breath away
I was right next to you…who would have thought?
Trying to understand that each day is an opportunity to realize how amazing small things are
Trying to understand that every second must be lived to its fullest because there is never turning back
I am right here, right now…and I can’t stop thinking of you
And if you wonder what I’ve learned
Well, I truly learned that this is not just another day

New Year

And here we are! Writing down another page of a wonderful story
Red, violet, yellow fireworks paint our sky
Laughter invades our homes
Champagne is there for us to welcome another chance to start from scratch
No regrets, no tears, no past shadows
It’s all about feeling alive and grateful for all the adventures coming up
Red, violet, yellow fireworks paint my heart with new hopes
Discovering new places,falling in love, seeing new faces, and asking a thousand questions
Let’s just open our eyes to see how beautiful fireworks sketch new simple stories of a precious life
Let’s be grateful for each breath, each broken heart, each mistake, each sad flower, each smile…
Let’s love more, let’s laugh more, and let’s make each other insanely happy.
Happy New Year!
