All that we share ....

Sadly, many people are only insist on 'seeing' the differences ....leaving aside the important things that could lead us to unite.


Peace of mind ...

Without a doubt, the best way to start a 'perfect' day like this, would be the moment when I take a cup of coffee while I'm reading  the newspaper and  listening a song like this .....


Hummm I wouldn't change this moment for anything, 
so it is the best thing since sliced bread !!!!

Time capsule

Since an activity about time capsules was proposed in my English class, I have kept thinking about what I would put into one of them. Immediately, the name of my favorite author came to mind: Yasunari Kawabata. However, it was a very arduous task to choose just one book, but I finally decided one: Beauty and Sadness. I wish the future would hold the certainty that reading was a food that not only nourished my mind but also my soul.

The second object in which I thought was music -I have to sigh- so this decision is still harder than the previous. But I think I would choose some Jazz CD. I must confess that I still have not decided on just one CD. However, there is no doubt about the style: yes, it definitely has to be Jazz! Because through this style, I am able to fuse different sensations.

My third object would be a crochet needle. If I believe in reincarnation or if I had some previous life, I would certainly be reincarnated as a spider. I love knitting. It's a hobby that I enjoy because I think weaving is the art of creating, of combining, of dreaming and telling stories. And this is how I understand life: like a large and colorful loom, like that piece in which we draw our dreams and illusions, our failures and disappointments.

The colors of the wool and the different textures that we apply in our loom are friendships, they are all the people who we are getting acquainted with, who transform us throughout our life; these wool & colors are all the people with whom we grow, and each one of them will provide an unrepeatable color and tone that will make our loom unique and unmistakable. In this way, our loom will be interwoven by our experiences, learnings, disappointments, challenges and so on.

READ-LISTEN-LEARN

Yesterday I found a great tool. I reckon with  this web many of us could improve our reading, writing, listening, pronuntation and so on, because most of the texts have audio recordings, so you can read and listen at the same time. Similarly, the stories have a glossary and some graphic aids to help you  understand the most complex vocabulary in the stories.

 I hope it will be useful for you !

Prayer Of The Haven

They are the "simple" things,
The ones that make me happy
A hug, a smile,
A drawing and the most important an:
 'I love you mom'...
They are the only things I treasure
And the only ones
Of which I would never let go ...

 

I have my shadow warning about the scale of the open water
and vertiginous rest of the espinel
dream that I raise the bow and climb to the Moon in the canoe
and there rest made my own skin a haven.

Are we too Materialistic ???


After watching this video, I have occurred to the following questions:
  • What would be the evidence of being too materialistic?
  • Why are we materialistic?
  • Is it part of our nature to possess, to have, to accumulate?
  • Is it possible to live without accumulating?
  • Can we get rid of the things we most want?
