Art can be found everywhere in nature...

Life Is Just a Moment In Time, An Instant Kept In Our Memory... As in a Painting. La Vida Es Solo Un Momento En El Tiempo, Un Instante Atrapado en Nuestra Memoria... Como en una Pintura.
Indefatigable torrent
that flows without stop,
leaving behind
the ineffaceable memory
that I loved.
Minutes that will never
come back again,
seconds that I lived
in an eternity
that will continue
telling my truth.
Time that will last forever
and will not give back
a caress,
a gaze…
time that never hears
the words that no one talked,
the words that someone held…
time that never forgets
the flow of my love.
by Belinda Shinshillas.

Torrente incansable
que corre sin parar,
dejando al pasar
el recuerdo imborrable
de que yo amé.
Minutos que nunca
jamás volverán,
segundos vividos
dentro de la eternidad
que se quedarán
relatando mi verdad.
Tiempo que sobra,
y que jamás regresará
una caricia,
una mirada...
tiempo verdugo
de lo que no se habló,
de lo que se calló...
tiempo que no perdona
el correr del aroma
de este mi amor.
Belinda Shinshillas

Life is like the blue sky, simple but beautiful...

"In the Desert of the heart,
Let the healing start;
In the prison of his days,
Teach the free man to praise."
by W.H.Auden

No te conoce el toro ni la higuera,
ni caballos ni hormigas de tu casa.
No te conoce tu recuerdo mudo
porque te has muerto para siempre.
No te conoce el lomo de la piedra,
ni el raso negro donde te destrozas.
No te conoce tu recuerdo mudo
porque te has muerto para siempre.
El otoño vendrá con caracolas,
uva de niebla y montes agrupados,
pero nadie querrá mirar tus ojos
porque te has muerto para siempre.
Porque te has muerto para siempre,
como todos los muertos de la Tierra,
como todos los muertos que se olvidan
en un montón de perros apagados.
No te conoce nadie. No. Pero yo te canto.
Yo canto para luego tu perfil y tu gracia.
La madurez insigne de tu conocimiento.
Tu apetencia de muerte y el gusto de su boca.
La tristeza que tuvo tu valiente alegría.
Tardará mucho tiempo en nacer, si es que nace,
un andaluz tan claro, tan rico de aventura.
Yo canto su elegancia con palabras que gimen
y recuerdo una brisa triste por los olivos.
FEDERICO GARCIA LORCA.

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting."
E E Cummings

The Vantage Point
IF tired of trees I seek again mankind,
Well I know where to hie me—in the dawn,
To a slope where the cattle keep the lawn.
There amid lolling juniper reclined,
Myself unseen, I see in white defined
Far off the homes of men, and farther still,
The graves of men on an opposing hill,
Living or dead, whichever are to mind.
And if by moon I have too much of these,
I have but to turn on my arm, and lo,
The sun-burned hillside sets my face aglow,
My breathing shakes the bluet like a breeze,
I smell the earth, I smell the bruisèd plant,
I look into the crater of the ant.

My November Guest
MY Sorrow, when she's here with me,
Thinks these dark days of autumn rain
Are beautiful as days can be;
She loves the bare, the withered tree;
She walks the sodden pasture lane.
Her pleasure will not let me stay.
She talks and I am fain to list:
She's glad the birds are gone away,
She's glad her simple worsted gray
Is silver now with clinging mist.
The desolate, deserted trees,
The faded earth, the heavy sky,
The beauties she so truly sees,
She thinks I have no eye for these,
And vexes me for reason why.
Not yesterday I learned to know
The love of bare November days
Before the coming of the snow,
But it were vain to tell her so,
And they are better for her praise.

" I thank you God for this amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of the trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes "
E.E. Cummings

Faith and Hope are feelings they have to be with you all the time. Without them you can be lost, but if you keep them in your heart they will be always the light in your path to prosperity and eternal love.
