A Poem about pain

It is in our Divine Nature

to suffer with the suffering

Not because we are pain

Not because God is pain

Not because the pain is a path

But because as the black in the trunk who took

one whipping felt pain

Not because he deserved whipping

Not because there was medicine in pain

Not because God was in that gesture

But because it was not

He felt pain

It is our Divine Nature to feel pain in this world

Suffer with the suffering

And to free ourselves knowing

"This is not God"

And God is always with me

God is always in my reach

God teaches me to move beyond suffering

God guides the one who is hurt

Because pain is not a path

We feel the pain that it is to be away from the Path

And God is good, good,

Goodness without measure

Without a whip

But eternally present

Careful and as a friend.

Go - A poem

Go

Go loose yourself in the world

Come back when you're younger

When I'm younger

When everything ahead are just beginnings

and beginnings

Go, get lost, come back younger

Goddess of the Night, a poem by Danna Faulds

GODDESS OF THE NIGHT

By Danna Faulds 

 The Goddess of the night speaks only in a quiet voice. 

“Trust the movement of energy,” she says. 

“Trust the opening of blossoms. Trust the wisdom that rises through you like sap flows through 

trees in spring. 

Trust that you can leave that which you no longer need . . . 

Trust the coming of new insight.” 

The Goddess pushes the cloud-hair from her eyes 

And offers you a cup. 

This is the chalise of life. The chalise of change and choice. 

“Drink deeply”, she says. “And do not second guess yourself. 

The only answers worth listening to are those that come from deep within.” 

With the approach of dawn, the Goddess transforms herself in sunrise. 

As the last stars fade from the sky, she speaks to us a final time. 

“Trust your own immortal soul. 

Trust what you know, and what you don’t. 

Trust that you can do what is yours to do. 

Trust life to bring you face-to-face with truth.”

Thoughts on being cohesive

Pablo Picasso - Sylvette

Be cohesive, be a brand! Share your content in a very edited way. I hear and see it ll the time. I'm not cohesive at all. I think a lot of people just put together stuff because it goes along well. In their pinboards, in their houses, in their blogs, in their lifes. They share lists not stories. Well, I'm not sure my man and my mother are that cohesive. I open books randomly to get advices from stories. My cat and dog are not best friends. My jeans don't go along well with my shirts. Or with my butt. But, I do have a wonderful life. It's not cohesive. It's not curated, or if it is its only by my heart. What connects everything in my life including all the persons in it it's me. I'm the only person that I really need to please with my choices. 

Never leave anything on the side because it doens't seems to go along well with the rest. Probably it's a treasure. I miss seeing a random portrait by Picasso on the web, just illustrating a thought or a story. Not along with a pantone color catalogue or a list of clothes. Do I keep finding the same blog or do they all feel the same? I really need to edit my reading list...make it more cohesive...with my heart.

About Time

The best movie I've ever saw about...life. If I could advice only one movie, let me say to you that if you haven't seen it see it. It's not about time. It's about what grows inside of us with time, it's about relationships, love, family. It's about what's important. About what we can change in our lifes and what we must accept. It's about discovering what's important to you. 

I don't think it's about time. But about what we do with it. 

The plot. I felt surprisinly attracted to this movie after seeing the trailer when the plot wasn't exactly my thing: time travel. Oh, my heart was right. 

A father tells his 21 years old son that is the moment for him to know one thing about the men in his family. They can travel in time. But just to things they have already lived. 

Dad: You can't kill Hitler or shag Helen of Troy!

And then boy meets girl. 

But an unfortuned time travel undones this.

Tim's Mum: And what are your faults? I mean, little weaknesses.

Mary: Well, I'm very insecure.

Tim's Mum: Sweet.

And so we go through this boy's life as it was a song. It's a sincere ode to life, the simple things in life: the people we love and the complications that come from this. 

There are other better marvelous quotes but I don't want to give away the movie. It's too good.

Tim:  There's a song by Baz Luhrmann called Sunscreen. He says worrying about the future is a as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life will always be things that never crossed your worried mind.

The movie begins in the New Years Eve. I find it one of the best movies to watch now that a year ends and new one begins. Let's celebrate the gift of time!

WARNING: You'll not live the day as you would before watching this movie.

Second Warning: There is a slight possibility if you are a dreamer like me that you'll eventually end up in a closet, closing your eyes and fists and trying to time travel. I actually think I did.

Happy New Year!

And While We Were Here

Il futuro non e scritto. The future is not written, we can read on the wall somewhere in the movie.

I've seen this movie in the last seven days, seeing parts of it and not all together at once. I don't think I've ever watched a movie this way. Just watching a little and in a another day a little more. I liked it that way. I felt I had more attention to all the details and expressions and poetry and I could rest the movie for a while to fully understand it.

Kaleb: You make me feel nervous.

Kate: You make me feel calm.

Some claim it's not a love story. Or a happy one. Is it a drama? Yes it is, for growing is always a challenge. For me it's the story of a love and something that could be but it's not love. It's about solitude, about finding yourself and the roles people play in your life. Although in the end we must remember we are and must the protagonists of our lifes. It's not just something that happens to us.

Kate goes to the Italian Island of Ischia with her husband Leonard, where he has a job as a viola player. Meanwhile Kate is trying to transcript conversations she recorded from her grandmother talking about life and the war. Some sentences are pure poetry and it's wonderful to hear her grandmother reflections on life. "If it wasn't war it would have been something else. There is always a strugle." 

We know they lost a child and the couple seems sad and cold. One day Kate decides to go for a walk to avoid the loneliness of the room. She mets a young man named Kaled. They talk, walk and dinner together.

Both men want Kate and to be with her.

Although you may find the general tone of the film dramatic, I believe it's an hyme to choosing happiness, whatever is the story you've already written for yourself.

Because whatever has happened:

Il futuro non e scritto.

JUSTICE XI - Tarot Card Reflection

 This card is a Major Arcana. In Tarot Cards there are 22 Major Cards, simbolizing the Fool's sacred journey and 56 Minor Arcana simbolizing events/states of life. It's like the Major Arcanas translate in the big events and Minor Arcana and the little events in between. But it depends on the readings and the situation. The more you work with the Tarot cards the more you'll get to know what they mean to you. There are cards, that looking back to past drawings I can immediately understand what they mean in my life. 

  The Justice card as a Major Arcana it's bonded to your higher-self, your destiny, your soul. If it appears it's talking to you about something important. Something you need to give attention to. It's remembering you about one of the Soul journeys, of a life lesson.

  "Here as above", remember. You must remember to find Justice in your heart. Not the everyday Justice. The heart laws and the men laws are so different sometimes. It's about balance. The balance of your Soul.

  Forgive when your heart wants, confront when he says so.

  There is a balance, a wisdom, freedom and flow in the heart's law that is most valuable than the crime/punishment of the men's law.

  Choose what is right for you, whether it brings calm or trouble in your life, you will find peace in your decision. The heart knows. Close your eyes, the heart knows. Knows you are free, knows what you need, knows when to forgive, knows when to teach.

  The word forgive in latim is perdoare, which translates to give, tottally give, donate. In forgiveness there is a donation. If something bad happened don't let it be with you. Let it, give up, give it away. Not by doing the same, but by letting go. 

  In the end everything will be well, you have the Universal Justice protecting you and looking for you - Just be fair with your soul, just listen to your heart. 

  If you need to say "NO" say it with courage, if you need to say "YES" say it without fear.

  The Justice card is about making decisions, is about the Truth, is about being fair. Discover what this means to you. What does being fair means to you? Don't harm and don't let yourself be harmed. 

  You are responsible for your life. Blessings and let the Justice inspire you!
