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.

Celebrating Father's Day & Summer Solstice

  ! Happy Father's Day & Summer Solstice   Hi Everyone,   We are midway into June. Summer is here! It is nice to see everyone coming out of their caves, riding bicycles, playing tennis, golf and so many other sports Yes, pool included which is where I dive almost in every day to refresh from the heat.  The heat is really on sometimes. The sun is flaming strong these days warming us sometimes more than we'd like. Sometimes it feels like we are about to melt. In some places the temperature is rising over one hundred degrees Fahrenheit, 38 degrees C.     That is why a good splash in a cool lake, the ocean or a pool can be so inviting even an ice-cold shower is soothing when it is the only thing available.   How is your Summer getting started? We are also celebrating Father's Day this month. What are you doing to celebrate this time? Whether you are a father yourself and/or are celebrating your father. What are ways you feel th...

When Old Souls Meet

 When  Old Soul Meet It was dark. The night had fallen. The curtain of the day had drawn coming to its end. She sat by the window viewing the trees that stood proud and firm beyond and before her, as the wind blew and made its branches gently rock, dance. She sighed kicking off her shoes, rubbing  her feet as she lay to rest in the small peach sofa bed she sometimes fell asleep in.  She continued to view out the window as the night grew dimmer. Far away she could see a star or two and recognized it was Orion - the three stars in the center of a square. Again. She sighed. Was it the beginning? Was it the end? She untied and loosened her long brown hair that was set tight in a high ponytail. Her long pink fingernails brushed through her hair as she let go of the day. Then as she continued to view out the window, his image came into her mind. She had not thought about him for a very long time. An increasingly long time. The memories started to creep in and cuddle her to...

Betty the Bumble Bee

Betty the Bumble Bee Time is ticking and so is Elda's heart. She sat on the back porch of her house on the old wooden rocking chair that squeaked every time she gently rocked back and forth, back and forth. The rays of the sun were settling through the uncombed branches of the trees and garden where many wild animals nest and thrive. She knew it was coming close. She knew. She had had dreams about it and her whole body could feel it. A shift. A major shift. How it was going to take place was still inquirious. Yet, that it was going to happen, was a certainty. She drifted into a sleep, as the rocking chair continued to nestle her with its squeaky song, helping her to fall into a deep slumber. All of a sudden, the wind blew strong, forcing the screen door to open, blowing into Elda's face, awakening her, as it stirred and uncombed her long silky blond hair. She stretched and lifted her delicate body and walked into the side door, where she had, a...
