"Why are people in spiritual stories always traveling somewhere? The message is that when we go out of ourselves, our comfort, our nature, our selfish desires - we begin our truespiritual journey. We go out of what we know in order to go into our

greatness.

Today, do actions that force you outside your nature. This can change your life and create

new horizons."

Being Held

2012-01-08T14:33:00.000-04:00

FULL MOON IN CANCER

it's all about being held.
Everybody needs it.

Were you held? Were you wanted?
Did you look into your mother's eyes?

Only thing is, a lot of people yearn for it, but can't deal with closeness.

Of course being held, however, is not only literally about
being nursed at the breast.

It's also people who have difficulty holding a job,
staying in a relationship,
sticking with a commitment,
following a career path
deepening their dedication--
all these things reveal
whether or not you can allow yourself to be held.

It would be really depressing if your whole future
hung on whether or not your were breast fed
or picked up and rocked to sleep.

Thank Heaven human beings have a capacity
to adapt and grow
no matter what happened to them in the first five years of life.

As we move into this Full Moon in Cancer
a highly emotionally charged full moon
coming from a square from Uranus, opposition from Pluto
and an approaching square to Saturn,
the early stuff rises again.

Oh, how you need to be held and to hold others.

Sometimes nurturing others is the best way to deal.

Reminisce but don't wallow.

2011-12-30T02:41:00.001-04:00

ella, buscando llorar tiró todo. toda la pintura, todos los pinceles. rayó con las manos, con los carboncillos, con el alma, le metió el cuerpo a ese dibujo para poder llorar y no pudo.

a mi.. a mi esa música a la que ella le dibujaba, sin estructura.. medio rap, medio poesía, medio teatro, medio concierto, medio creativitud dominicanish post adolescente.. esa música me sensibilizó.

román tiene días diciendo que su apreciación estética se la comió un perro.
román! que pasó? busca ese perro y cómetelo tu! cómo va a ser que te estés perdiendo esto?

así sensible como estaba me agaché al lado de ella y sentí las palabras que no dijo.. y lloré sus lágrimas.

atardece un día de invierno caribeño, sobre las piedras de la zona colonial.
y en esta tarde volvía a sentir el arte en la piel..
detrás del cuello
entre los dedos de los pies..

vi la música de esos chicos
su amistad
su complicidad
su entrega

y vi a mabel
meterle cuerpo a ese cuadro
encuclillada

y lloré sus lágrimas
y fuí parte de aquello

que privilegio
que maravilla

soy feliz :)

love and death

2011-12-12T08:12:00.000-04:00

"No one can deny how painful it is to lose a loved one. But love allows us to overcome the pain. You think the more you love someone, the more you will suffer from such a separation. At the time, you will , without a doubt. But if you have truly loved someone, in time another kind of relationship develops between you, and you feel their being as a constant presence. And at night, in your sleep, you are also with them. In the morning, you may not remember meeting, because the journeys the soul makes during sleep rarely reach awareness, but you will feel the connection growing stronger and stronger as time goes by. God did not place limits on love. Love is stronger than death. Those who have shared true love are never parted; their soul overcomes all material obstacles."

- O. M. Aivanhov

Forgiveness

2011-12-10T20:49:00.000-04:00

these amazing human beings i come across with..
these angels that light up my days cuando se va la 'lú en mi corazón..

thanks for this email..
it's all i needed to think about..
to remember..

don't worry..

i'm almost there...

----- --- - --- -----

"What could you want forgiveness cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? Do you want care and safety, and the warmth of sure protection always? Do you want a quietness that cannot be disturbed, a gentleness that never can be hurt, a deep, abiding comfort, and a rest so perfect it can never be upset?

All this forgiveness offers you, and more. It sparkles in your eyes as you awake, and gives you joy with which to meet the day. It soothes your forehead while you sleep, and rests upon your eyelids so you see no dreams of fear and evil, malice and attack. And when you wake again, it offers you another day of happiness and peace. All this forgiveness offers you, and more.

What would you want forgiveness cannot give? What gifts but these are worthy to be sought? What fancied value, trivial effect, or transient promise never to be kept, can hold more hope than what forgiveness brings? Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that will answer everything? Here is the perfect answer, given to imperfect questions, meaningless requests, half-hearted willingness to hear, and less than halfway diligence and partial trust."

hang on, let go

SO hard to make that

final decision.

hang on, let go, hang on, let go..

On the one hand

adventure awaits you

in new uncharted territory

it's a thirst for experience

a new experience

something to
assuage your restless urge

to
move on,

start over

be refreshed

(that´s the nodal axis)

but then

(venus-pluto conjunction)

it's tight

the grip is tight

and it gets tighter
e v e r y m i n u t e

you can't breathe

it's choking you

it's holding you back

but you can't live without it, him, her

you need even more assurance

that it, he, she won't desert you,

that you'll still be able to crawl home

and find everything unchanged

and be able
to wander

and return

and restore everything

to the way it was

only thing...

you're not Ulysses

and this isn't the Odyssey

once you let go

i t ' s g o n e . . . . . .

The reason we have to try to

take the high road

and act with wisdom and forethought

(through the North

Node in Sagittarius)

is....

I cannot even begin to

to predict...

the M A D N E S S
ahead

(of the coming Full Moon Eclipse

at the South Node

Pensando en Navidad

2011-11-03T14:15:00.000-04:00

NOCHEBUENA

Eduardo Galeano

Fernando Silva dirige el hospital de niños, en Managua.

En vísperas de Navidad, se quedó trabajando hasta muy tarde. Ya estaban sonando los cohetes, y empezaban los fuegos artificiales a iluminar el cielo, cuando Fernando decidió marcharse. En su casa lo esperaban para festejar. Hizo una última recorrida por las salas, viendo si todo quedaba en orden, y en eso estaba cuando sintió que unos pasos lo seguían. Unos pasos de algodón: se volvió y descubrió que uno de los enfermitos le andaba detrás. En la penumbra, lo reconoció. Era un niño que estaba solo. Fernando reconoció su cara ya marcada por la muerte y esos ojos que pedían disculpas o quizá pedía permiso.

Fernando se acercó y el niño lo rozó con la mano:

–Decile a... –susurró el niño–. Decile a alguien, que yo estoy aquí.

[De El libro de los abrazos]

que me seguía tu pensamiento,

y mi voz te buscaba, detrás,

Nos quisimos, es cierto

Pero jamás en el mismo día."

lo que aún no sé

2011-10-26T10:10:00.003-04:00

crecí con un abuela que nunca dejó de trabajar, jugar barajas, salir de compras, cocinar ni de atender visitas. nunca dejó de leer lo último de sus autores favoritos ni de escribir cartas a todos tus parientes y amigos esparcidos por el mundo.

crecí con un madre que tras casarse con su primer novio, a los 21 años, descubrió poco a poco que su príncipe también era sapo, que contrario a lo que le dijo su papá, cocinar si era importante y que tener una familia no iba a ser tan fácil como lo había imaginado. crecí con una mujer que a mi edad ya se había divorciado, tenía dos hijas, trabajaba 12 horas al día, revisaba tareas a pura lámpara y que una vez me despertó a media noche para que corrigiera los acentos en mi tarea de español.

crecí con una tía que hizo siempre lo que le dio la gana, le demostró a todos que sería una veterinaria exitosa a pesar de ser terrible estudiante en el colegio, que supo siempre divertirse, que me sacaba a escondidas de la casa y me llevaba con sus amigas a fincas, fiestas, hoteles y a vacunar ganado.

crecí con una madrastra que cargaba una impresionante elegancia en los huesos y una enorme responsabilidad sobre los hombros. "que no digan que todo se perdió por ti" le dijo su padre al cederle el control de la empresa familiar. la vi moverse en un negocio de hombres sin nunca dejar de ser mujer. convirtió esa empresa en un imperio que hoy en día sostiene a cuatro generaciones.

conocí en la universidad a unas mujeres femeninas, feministas. psicólogas, sociólogas, antropólogas, filósofas. mujeres de fusil en mano, de guerrillas. mujeres hermosas, artistas, completas. mujeres muy madres de sus hijos, de sus estudiantes y del mundo.

luego fui a perú y a la india... tierras donde lo femenino se celebra.

El constructivismo es una corriente de la didáctica que se basa en la teoría del conocimiento constructivista. Postula la necesidad de entregar al alumno herramientas que le permitan crear sus propios procedimientos para resolver una situación problemática, lo cual implica que sus ideas se modifiquen y siga aprendiendo. El constructivismo en el ámbito educativo propone un paradigma en donde el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje se percibe y se lleva a cabo como proceso dinámico, participativo e interactivo del sujeto, de modo que el conocimiento sea una auténtica construcción operada por la persona que aprende (por el «sujeto cognoscente»).

Se considera al alumno como poseedor de conocimientos que le pertenecen, en base a los cuales habrá de construir nuevos saberes. No pone la base genética y hereditaria en una posición superior o por encima de los saberes. Es decir, a partir de los conocimientos previos de los educandos, el docente guía para que los estudiantes logren construir conocimientos nuevos y significativos, siendo ellos los actores principales de su propio aprendizaje. Un sistema educativo que adopta el constructivismo como línea psicopedagógica se orienta a llevar a cabo un cambio educativo en todos los niveles.

"The psychedelic drug in magic mushrooms may have lasting medical and spiritual benefits, according to new research from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

The mushroom-derived hallucinogen, called psilocybin, is known to trigger transformative spiritual states, but at high doses it can also result in "bad trips" marked by terror and panic. The trick is to get the dose just right, which the Johns Hopkins researchers report having accomplished.

In their study, the Hopkins scientists were able to reliably induce transcendental experiences in volunteers, which offered long-lasting psychological growth and helped people find peace in their lives — without the negative effects."

2011-10-12T15:23:00.000-04:00

Colposcopy is a medical diagnostic procedure to examine an illuminated, magnified view of the cervix and the tissues of the vagina and vulva.^[1] Many premalignant lesions and malignant lesions in these areas have discernible characteristics which can be detected through the examination. It is done using a colposcope, which provides an enlarged view of the areas, allowing the colposcopist to visually distinguish normal from abnormal appearing tissue and take directed biopsies for further pathological examination. The main goal of colposcopy is to prevent cervical cancer by detecting precancerous lesions early and treating them.

Where is Love?

2011-08-16T17:08:00.000-04:00

15 august

The superior Conjunction of Venus to the Sun

It just so happens that it is the

day of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

When the planet Venus comes to the same degree of the Zodiac

occupied by the Sun, and moves across the Sun,

(this time in the sign of Leo)

it is said to be in conjunction with the Sun.

There is love involved.

But there is war as well.

This time Venus is on the other side of the Sun

from the Earth.

It is invisible.

She has disappeared.

The Sun lies between

Earth and Venus.

This is not really romantic

in the sense that we

always dream about.

Sometimes people say good-bye

for now

as they are forcibly separated

for one reason or another.

At other times

the separations are permanent

and there will be people

you may never see again

in their human incarnated form.

So it's either a temporary or permanent good-bye.

For the months that follow

Venus will be visible only in the night sky

after sunset.

It's a night event.

Personal, private,

Social, intimate,

But Venus cannot be seen during the day.

Go outside this week

during the day

Don't look directly into hte Sun

but just look where it is in the sky

and imagine Venus behind it.

It's still there.

You just can't see it.

Love is still there,

But between you and some other people

the love cannot be seen right now.

And in many cases,

it hurts.

relationships..

mirrors of the past

how seductive

how deceiving

how adictive

and i wonder..

"Relationship has very little significance

when we are merely seeking mutual gratification

but becomes extraordinarily significant when it is a means of

self-revelation and self-knowledge."

"profe.. profe! no se vaya.. si, si.. es de una vez.. mire.. que después de la última clase, hablé con mami... ella me dijo que ahora mismo le tenga paciencia porque mi abuela se está mudando y la muchacha que hay es mala... si es por ella yo ni ceno. le dije, que yo no puedo tener tanta responsabilidad sobre mi hermanito, que hasta me castiguen porque el haga algo mal. que yo tengo que estudiar y tener mi tiempo libre para hacer las cosas que me gustan. fue chulo.. yo creía que ella me iba a dar un boche, pero me dijo que yo tenía razón y me dio un abrazo. todo está mejor, mi hermanito se está portando mejor y mami me está ayudando más. pero y si se le olvida? .. bueno si, yo se lo acuerdo.. jejejjejje.. si, yo sé.."

y se fué la tirigüilla, diminuta y saltarina,

con su sonrisa

y su rizos.

las palabras que una vez pensé mías ya no andan.

no consigo plasmar miradas por escrito.

"Ithaca", by C.P.Cavafy

2011-01-19T16:23:00.001-04:00

As you set out for Ithaca

hope that your journey is a long one,

full of adventure, full of discovery.

Laistrygonians and Cyclops,

angry Poseidon - do not be afraid of them:

you'll never find things like that on your way

as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,

as long as a rare sensation

touches your spirit and your body.

Laistrygonians and Cyclops,

wild Poseidon - you won't encounter them

unless you bring them along inside your soul,

unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Hope that your journey is a long one.

May there be many summer mornings when,

with what pleasure, what joy,

you come into harbors seen for the first time;

may you stop at Phoenician trading stations

to buy fine things,

mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,

sensual perfume of every kind -

as many sensual perfumes as you can;

and may you visit many Egyptian cities

to learn and learn again from those who know.

Keep Ithaca always in your mind.

Arriving there is what you're destined for.

But do not hurry the journey at all.

Better if it lasts for years,

so that you're old by the time you reach the island,

wealthy with all you have gained on the way,

not expecting Ithaca to make you rich.

Ithaca gave you the marvelous journey.

Without her you would not have set out.

She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor, Ithaca won't have fooled you.

Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,

you will have understood by then what these Ithacas mean

Novelty Seekers

2011-01-08T22:50:00.001-04:00

"Novelty seekers have a high risk for dependency, either on cigarettes, alcohol or food. People with this personality trait have trouble with their brain regulating dopamine. This chemical that triggers pleasure in the brain is needed for people to feel happy. When dopamine isn't properly regulated, people find ways to self medicate. They seek novel or rewarding experiences to increase the dopamine."

a mi me encanta como tu escribes.

no te sientes en compromiso con tus lectores?

ni un poquito?

bueno.. quizá esa no es la mejor forma
de pedirte que escribas.

es mas bien..

que compartas..

te explico..

es que lo que decides compartir

ha movido mucho en mi..

cuando has decidido hacerlo.

es que tus imágenes

sonidos

y palabras,,

tus experiencias...

me han hecho voltear

para ver mi vida

"from a different angle, under a different light"

extraño querer entender.. buscar detras.. sentir que entiendo o que no entiendo... todo ese/esos procesos y sus resultados en mi. me pregunto si soy la única que así lo siente. me pregunto si lo has pensado, si te lo han manifestado, si te importa, o no. si lo extrañas... o no. por qué has dejado de compartir? me he sentido cuentista de mi vida y de otras... eres.. bueno.. ustedes son mis cuentistas favoritos... quiero que sepas.. que sepan... que...

toda la experiencia de vida de este blog,

de megg

y de la mujer detrás de megg

se ha visto profundamente enriquecida por lo que has querido compartir.

así que escribe cuando quieras..

pero ten en cuenta que al menos yo..

extraño esa parte de ti.

y claro... gracias ;)

(y al que le sirva el sombrero

que se lo ponga..

"Aries is a Fire Sign and Pisces is a Water Sign. Though these opposite elements can sometimes create trouble for one another (Fire makes Water evaporate, Water douses Fire). However, they can combine to make a great team: Pisces can help Aries relax a little and learn listen to others' feelings, while Aries teaches Pisces to get out into the world and take the kinds of risks that lead to real payoff. This is an effective lesson for Pisces, who definitely has the brain power to figure out which risks are good ones to take and which are best left alone. Aries and Pisces must simply negotiate to ensure their balance is maintained.

Aries is a Cardinal Sign and Pisces is a Mutable Sign. Unlike Aries, Pisces doesn't need to be the leader or 'on top.' They enjoy lending a hand when they're needed, but certainly don't need to direct a project -- a good thing, since Aries needs that position for themselves. Together these two Signs can achieve a positive end to any project they decide to undertake.

What's the best aspect of the Aries-Pisces relationship? They really have a lot to learn from each other. Pisces shows Aries how to empathize and care; Aries teaches Pisces how to make dreams happen rather than just thinking about it! Theirs is a truly reciprocal relationship."

Reading about teenagers.. and their pain(s), I came across this project and thought it was lovely. I don't really know if I can share this as I'd like... I'll have to think about that one for the next couple of days. Anyways... I share. There are many more, but this particular story touched my heart. It gets better.. a bit of hope for ANYONE who may need it.

What started out as an anonymous project is now pretty much out in the open. Not as appealing as it once was. My favorite blogs have either disappeared or been abandoned.. some others seem to have personality disorders.. quite sad.. all of it.

Still..
I do feel the need to share.. vent if you will.

Crossroads.

It does not cease to amaze me... how much of me this small space within space.. portrays.

I guess I can say... I love you all.

Relationships aren't hard... at least, not as hard as they say.

When egos go to battle.. well.. that's when it all goes to hell.

Not all the time..

but many times.

So...

I'm learning to choose my battles wisely.

without blaming the other.

Observing myself, has turned out to be much more

in the name of love and friendship, i clarify..

- you see that? that's exactly what i'm talking about.. won't say goodbye.. won't even look back.. strange strange behavior (i'm talking to a good old friend from work.. from life..)

- she obviously hates you.. (some chick)
- huh? (come on man!)
- envy.. jealous.. (he's gesturing like mad.. a bit of drama.. a few laughs)
- ... (i just, smile and stare at him)
- you're free, you do whatever you want, you have a wonderful boyfriend, great attitude,you're smart, pretty.. (at this point he's on his feet, doing a lousy job at illustrating his words with crappy, over the top, feminine gestures..)
- ahhh ha.. (a sarcastic "oh, that's it.. now i get it")
- i'm telling you.. i know these things.. (he's now quite serious, quite sure of what he's saying)
- sure..

i guess we all know who i'm talking about now..

hm..

i wonder if she does, too?

nah..

EMOTIONS RUN HIGH!

2010-01-30T21:13:00.002-04:00

people you meet today?

I don't know about that

Can there be passion without aggression?

Some people think not.

They claim that magnetic attractions have built-in aggression

That's maybe why you see so many couples s n i p i n g at each other

and people making hurtful remarks to those they love

A perfect Full Moon to view the hostility

y that underlies much of what passes for love

It's not so hard to imagine

why you would be angry with people you need but can't get away from

when you come to realize what you have to put up with

if iyou're going to be in any relationship

business or personal

and here's the kicker:

Negotiations start the first moment you meet

not when you're sitting across from each other in court

kiss and make up

Hello teacher. I am sending you this email because I want to ask you if it is really necessary to study for the written exam. I have no problem with studying, it is just that a left my backpack with all my English material at a friend's house on Friday. He lives in Arroyo Hondo but demasiado Hondo, and I live in Gazcue. I had no chance in the weekend to pick it up. I am really frustrated because the book I was reading (Sombras de Antepasados Lejanos de Carl Sagan) is in my backpack and I had planned to finish it this weekend, so I could return it to the library.
