LIFE

 “Where there is love there is life.” 

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.
 The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
  Albert Einstein







She sat by the river bed and watched as the water trickled gently caressing, kissing, hugging the pebbles and rocks, as it washed their delicate, harsh grey and colored skins, moisturizing them, clearing them, embracing them, giving them life.

Life! she thought. "What a curious thing. It takes us to places one would've never known and may drown us in its many circumstances if we do not use the tools that are given to us through the heart. When we don't turn in and listen to that still peaceful, quiet voice within that for sees what may be coming into our lives and keeps us from falling in places that are not much fun to endure. That voice that calls us to awaken, that lies deep within the soul, the essence of the Light of who we truly are. The life saver that brings us afloat when we make choices derivatives from fears and uncertainty. That voice that calls us through a song, a phone call, a nudge, a whisper, a thought.

She then bends and rests her knees on the delicate silk grass that stretches comfortably on the side of the river bed.  She views her quivered reflection on the mirror of the water, where a gentle small waterfall in the middle, center of the shallow waters runs through inviting her to come in. She touches the water with her delicate fingers and feels the cold, fresh, enticing water run through them awaking something in her, a sensation of bliss, while the waterfall in the center of the river continued to greet and invite her to come in and rest beneath it.

She gently took of her clothes and stepped into the ice cold water as she stretched and swam to lay underneath the waterfall, that awakened every part of her being. She loved it! A giggle came from her soul as she felt embraced by nature and its nakedness and purity. What a delight, as she rested her back and felt the water run through her every particle and the sun shining its face and rays upon her skin warming, cuddling her, embracing her as it did with the rocks and the pebbles and any other living thing that was blessed by the water; giving her one of the best and most pleasurable experiences of life.




Life! What a curious thing. It takes us to places one would've never known and may drown us if we don't listen to that still small voice called: "LOVE!"

Qualifying for the Olympics

  QUALIFYING for the OLYMPICS Here's to Sports The Olympics have brought many memories to my mind, which was one of the best periods of my life, when I was a swimmer. In 1975 I qualified to go to the Olympics in Canada the following year 1976. (Mark Spitz time) I still remember when I received that phone call. I believe it was a phone call or a telegram but I'm very sure. I really think it was a phone call where I was told that I was the only swimmer who had qualified to go to the Olympics in Canada in 1976. My circumstances did not allow me to go at the time. I started swimming when I was young but didn't swim competitively in a more serious way, until I was 12 years old. I used to do meets in school and Country Club etc. Then, my mother did not know what to do with me because I was so hyperactive, and she decided to join me in a swim t​eam. I remember ​that day clearly, when I arrived at the Olympic pool that was 50 meters long and stepp​ed into a circle of all the res

CELEBRATING 42 Years of Life

  Celebrating 42 years Swiss Alps ~ Groenenbach, Allgau Today is my 42nd Anniversary. I remember clearly 42 years ago yesterday when I arrived to the most amazing healing clinic in Grönenbach , Allgäu, Germany. My battle with alcohol had come to an end and I was ready to change my life. However, I arrived to Munich three days prior to entering the clinic. Immediately I thought I do not have a problem since I was sitting in with new friends from Argentina with 7 whiskeys in front of me and I was not drunk. Nevertheless, 3 days later I found myself in great need of help. I was wondering where I was going to land, since I had had been in other not so pleasant places before seeking help. To my surprise this place was heaven on Earth. I arrived in the most expensive taxi, I have ever paid in my entire life, since I had missed the last train from Munich to Groenenbach. A kind gentleman in his forties, received me with a smile on his face and said, "Ich bin deinen Patin," (I am yo

Melilla and her Magical Friend

Melilla and Her Magical Friend It was the crack of dawn. Melilla was sitting at the porch. She had a blank look starring into the horizon. It had been a long and dreary night.  She sat on her rocking wooden peach swing, dangling her feet, mesmerized by the beauty of the morning, as she wiped her tears that fell like silent drops into the mug of her morning tea. The road had been too long. Her muscles ached and her heart churned. How long was this going to take place? she wondered. As she looked down and stared at the floor, swinging gently back and forth. Carrying the world on her shoulders. All of a sudden this tiny glimmer of light came flying towards her and sat on  her  right lap. It was very diamondly sparkly.  As she got closer, she saw that this sparkly dangling light had tiny baby wings on it. Silent giggles arrived at her eardrums, laughter and joy secretly reached her heart from. It was a Fairy. Althought she always had wished for it, she had never
