Don’t worry, be happy!

Hey you!

Cheer up!

Put a smile on your face!

Because you only have one chance to live

Because life will go away in a blink

Enjoy every minute, every hour, and every day

And if everything seems to get dark,

Close your eyes and think of a beautiful memory

Don´t be afraid because life is there for you

Take a walk!

Listen to your heart!

Hear your soul breathing!

Take a break and enjoy this moment!

Because it will never come back

Be grateful for all the beautiful moments, but also for all the struggles and mistakes

Don’t worry, be happy!

Life is a lit candle…enjoy it before the light is gone

Sing, dance, dream, write, read, and fall in love with your life

Don’t worry, be happy!

Because everything will be just fine

(Thanks Bobby McFerrin for the song that makes me feel there is nothing that can knock me down!)

Uncertainty

A new day ahead

24 hours to discover who you are

24 hours to taste life as it is

A new day begins

And a thousand questions arise

What should I do?

What should I think?

Who should I be?

Where should I go?

24 hours to figure it out

24 hours to dance with the world

One word, one look, one touch, one decision

A thousand challenges

A thousand mistakes

A thousand opportunities to learn

A new day ahead to enjoy “uncertainty”

A new day to taste life as it is

Don’t miss that fighting chance!

R.C.

Little by little

Warm wave after warm wave

I feel the rhythm of your animal song

I long to learn your upbeat language

I feel it on my toes

I feel it on my hips

I feel it on my arms

I feel it on my body

I feel the rhythm of your sensual song

It’s burning my soul

It’s burning my heart

Little by little

I hold your hand

I touch you tenderly

I feel your rhythm

I speak your beautiful upbeat language

Little by little

You start loving me

And I start understanding this unique life dance

El Sol y la Estrella

Sun wakes up;

Washes up and starts off a new brand day.

Star is running late for work and didn’t have enough time to do her hair.

All other stars are already shining over the whole world!

Sun checks his email while eating some yummy chocolate.

Star begins to shine and feels happy to be at her desk while Sun is already in bed.

They never see each other, but they’re extraordinarily connected.

Somehow Sun feels when Star is sad.

Somehow Star knows when Sun is worried.

They would love to chat sometime!

They would love to make jokes and tease each other.

They would love to hear each other’s stories.

Sun is happy!

Star is happy!

But they would be insanely happy if they could ever be together.

All stars, planets, and the moon say that’s impossible!

Sun and Star could never be together.

But what they don’t know is what Sun and Star truly feel.

They dream about each other and when the right tune plays on the radio they both know that somehow, somewhere, they will finally be together.

A magic bond, a magic bridge!

Call it the way pleases you; it’s just how it is.

Sun and Star will always be together not matter what!

Unique

Feel your sweet rage, your silent cry

Feel your awkwardness, your passion

You’re right here and I’m not me anymore

When you look into my eyes, you strip my soul

Useless layers and layers come off

Long time ago I learned to harden my heart, to hide

Blunt words

Frantic music

Passionate soul

The fire has been awaken and

I’m not me anymore

Useless layers and layers used to protect me

But your words, your silence, your eyes strip me off

And only a dumb girl remains

You are unique and I’m shaken

Time, time, time

Grateful for our separate roads

Your words, your silence, your eyes, your brains would’ve been my sweet malison

You’re unique!

Dreamed about you

Dreamed about you

Dreamed we were holding hands

Dreamed I hugged your back softly

Dreamed I asked you to come along

Dreamed I was afraid you'd see the real me

Dreamed I was proud to be holding hands with you

Dreamed we were putting flowers on the floor

Dreamed I was happy!

Dreamed everyone acknowledged we were meant to be together

Dreamed about you!

Grateful

So many storms

So many knock-outs

So many people telling you that you can’t

So many defeats

So many lonely days

But then you rise

And keep fighting

This is not an agonizing battle

This fight is the one you were looking forward to

This is the fight you’ve been preparing for

This is the time when you rise and look the world in the eye

And voice, “Here, I am! This is my fight, this is my life and for that I’m so grateful!”

Grateful for the defeats,

Grateful for the battles,

Grateful for the sword thrusts

Grateful for the challenges

Grateful for the mistakes

Because they teach you to rise and keep fighting

Grateful for this beautiful life and every single breath!
