Life on earth

Money
Power
Beauty
Intelligence

If you have at least one of those you can make it in this world. If you lack all of them most likely you'll die alone and forgotten... So if you have one or more of those make the most of it and if you don't, try to get one to make it in this life because most likely, it's the only one you'll have in this world.

(Or maybe love could save your existence. Hatred surely won't)

A reflection

And an apology / Y una disculpa.

"Ben, you are impossible. Your opinions have a slap in them for everyone who differs with you. They have become so expensive that nobody cares for them. Your friends find they enjoy themselves better when you are not around. You know so much that no man can tell you anything. Indeed, no man is going to try, for the effort would lead only to discomfort and hard work. So you are not likely to ever know any more than you do now, which is very little."

/

"Ben, eres imposible. Tus opiniones son como una cachetada para quien difiera contigo. Tan es así, que ya a nadie interesan tus opiniones. Tus amigos van descubriendo que lo pasan mejor cuando no estás con ellos. Sabes tanto, que nadie te puede decir nada. Por cierto que nadie va a intentarlo siquiera, porque ese esfuerzo sólo le produciría incomodidades y trabajos. Por tal razón, es probable que jamás llegues a saber más de lo que sabes ahora, que es muy poco."

And so, I apologize to my friends, I apologize to you / Y entonces, me disculpo con mis amigos, me disculpo contigo.

Little Girl

She followed me to this distant land
Resting of my fingertips,
In the palm of my hand.

- The mountains,
The sea,
The breeze,
Those comformting kisses -

While I broke free,
While I forgot.

Now she realeases herself,
Though slowly,
I see her wings begin to spread
Before me.
