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.

Tribute to My Mother

Tribute to My Mother Helen Eileen Overa Thompson de Brose My mother and I...  the Beginning It's been 2 years today July 21st, since my mother passed away, Helen Eileen Overa Thompson de Brose. I will never forget that day. she had been in a nursing home for quite some time due to dealing with dementia and other issues. the last years I had spent time every week doing video calls with her through Zoom, and I used to sing to her "Over the Rainbow" every time, her favorite song. She many times responded with tears in her eyes, saying, "it's so nice." Thank goodness she was always cognitive, you could have a wonderful conversation with her and it was always pleasant to talk to her, all the way to the end.  However, she did not remember who you were sometimes or where she was or what she was doing. She forgot everything that had happened a moment ago.  I also tried to call her every other day and just tell her that I loved her and would also sing to her over the...

Celebrating 43 Years of Life

    Celebrating 43 years Swiss Alps ~ Groenenbach, Allgau Today is my 43rd Anniversary. I remember clearly 43 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 ...
