El Mar



EL MAR




Me encontraba parada en un viejo muelle de madera quebrada. Las olas se golpeaben y chocaban contra el poste que apenas mantenía al muelle erguido en el precipitado océano azul. La brisa salada perdida en su humedad me mojó de pies a cabeza, sin importarme estar completamente empapada.

De repente un rayo chocó en medio del océano. Las nubes se hablaron entre si mandando mensajes vívidos para que la madre tierra temblara. El sonido tronó a través de los huecos del cielo, brotando su interior, soltando sin cesar todas sus lágrimas al océano. Jamás se separaran. El cielo tiene muchas penas que desahogar y cuando crea una tormenta perfecta, suelta todas sus tribulaciones, llora. Incansablemente. Llora. 

El océano abre sus brazos fuertes para recibir con alegría, todo lo que se le derrame, lo acurruca hasta eventualmente crear una fuerza vívida, que crece a formar olas altas expresivas que crujen en carcajadas y perdonamientos, que juegan y gritan cada vez que sienten sus corazones explotar y que a veces chocan entre si  para luego ser mecidas  hasta alcanzar la orilla de la playa.

Ahí parada, observaba. Mi piel comenzaba a erizarse y el agua recorría salvajemente entre las furiosas olas que los cielos densos habían impulsado.  De repente, como si por magia, las olas comunicaron un sonido distinto que empezó a soltarse hacia la madre tierra quien con su amor absorbiera su locura; llamándola para que la marea se citara con ella en los términos y suelos de la sedosa arena blanca. Luego las olas se desenvolvieron y se acercaron cada vez con mayor suavidad - retornaba y se retiraba. Los susurros de la lluvia fueron suavizandose hasta que desaparecieron. La Calma llegó a ser completa. 

Yo seguía parada al final del viejo muelle de madera. Por primera vez me sentí parte de algo. El Mar. Me volví una con el agua. Una con el mar. Me convertí en... el mar.

A Miracle in Disguise

FRAU HERMIN A week ago I receive a message on Facebook from someone: "Did you go to the German School by any chance?" to which I responded a, "Yes! why?"  "I have something for you. Do you have whatsapp?" "Yes, here is my number." I replied. What he shared with me pulled me right out of my socks. I The bell rang. It was time. It was time for that class. It was time for that class that I dreaded so much. I had arrived early that morning on the bus that crossed the bumpy road to the main gate, where all the school buses parked. My leather backpack was somewhat heavy, yet I loved it. It was given to me by my mother. We had bought it in a nice place at "el mercado de artesanias." It was a good partner in my first days of school, learning how to read and write and the gist of things in the world of education.  The school had recently moved to that far away location, that stood proud in the lands of my countr

'Dora' the Lady Bug

Dora  the Miracle Lady Bug Nature always speaks to us, through its many colors, contours, winds and airs, sounds and mysteries, and especially through animals and their unique characteristics and totem meanings and scriptures. I really believe animals speak to us every day giving us messages to help us have a more meaningful life, filled with magic in a deeper sense and sensibility .  I woke up early that morning, grabbed my iphone and walked towards the porch to have my morning green juice, then placed my iphone" (addictive as it is) on the rim of the porch. When suddenly I became aware that there was a beautiful orange ladybug with a glow of a big hello. I greeted it with  a smile and felt great joy in my heart for they represent good fortune, and other deeper totem meanings, plus are so beautiful an vibrant. After a moment I became aware that it could not fly. It tried several times to stretch its wings yet one of them seemed to not work very well. Somehow

Emilia's Secret Wish

Emilia's Secret Wish Emilia was swinging under the tree in the Autumn garden. Her beautiful long young hair was set up in a nice ponytail sealed with bows of pink and purple.  As she dangled herself back and forth, she looked  up to stare at the clear blue skies that were gently brushed by a soft white cloud here and there. Wondering! This was the very day. She wanted to be with her daddy, who was far far away where only birds could fly or only those big big heavy metal machines could arrive. She then swang slowly until she came to a full stop, dragging her feet in the dusty dirt beneath the swing looking down at her pearl white shiny "charol" shoes. A knot welled up in her throat as tears began to trickle down her seven-year-old cheeks.  Then she remembered that her purse was hanging across her chest. She slit her small hand into it and took out her tiny little Minnie Mouse coin purse and began to count 25 cents, 50 cents, a dollar, $2, until
