The first breath

It’s getting dark. The sun has already gone, the wind turns cold, and the once-white clouds become dark, illuminated at a distance by bolts of lightning that make the sea turn angry, wild, and furious. An uncontrollable force of nature smashes against the wooden poles of the quay I am standing on, the waves shaped […]

Do you feel lonely?

Do you feel lonely? At the beginning there was the earth as an inert mass floating in the immensity of the universe. From millions of planets in our galaxy this tiny ball with nothing in particular was the only one capable of reunite the conditions to cherish the greatest miracle.

In the beginning

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was a color—red. Red represents life and death, both united in the same space, a drop of blood, enough to create a new life, enough to bring death and pain as soon as we realize we are not immortals.

Hero or Tyrant?

Hero or Tyrant? A very thin line divides the two, one next to the other sometimes can be the same. The only registries of our existence in this world are the archives of history, but even history it’s written by men, and mankind is subjective and capricious.

But, it’s even harder to find ourselves as an individuals within the boundaries of totality. We don’t know certainly if society it’s the addition of individual efforts, […]

The Waterfall

The sun shines in the clear blue sky. The wind blows, carrying a fresh breeze with a smell of wet earth. Big, green trees move with the rhythm of the wind, like dancers pulled through the air. I feel the high grass hitting my knees and its softness when I step on it, hearing the […]

The Hand of God

Religious and atheists believe—consciously or unconsciously—in a higher order, a synchronicity, a universal flow or a will of divine proportions that dictates or influences in a degree the outcome of events in our ordinary lives. My grandmother—a woman of faith—used to say that “A leaf can´t move without the will of God,” and I always […]

The Begining

“Life is a journey of understanding. Understanding that there is not journey at all. We don’t pursue for a destination, WE are a destination.” M. Ch. Landa
