La Carta de la Sra Antonia

La Carta de la Sra Antonia

Hoy me levante triste y sola.
Mi esposo amado esta muerto.
Sudo todo el dia para sacar adelante a mis niñas.
Hago lo que sea necesario para darnos de comer.
Aunque vivo en un cronico cansansio,
Obligo a mi corazon a que sienta esperanza verdadera.
Tu amor siempre me da fortaleza, porque mantengo tu ruecuerdo

No sabia que era panico lo que sentia.
No fue a proposito si lo enfrente de la manera incorrecta.
Yo se que te heri, pero tambien me heria a mi.
Ya que lo que hoy yo siento, es dolor de todo lo que no te di.
Era joven, y extranaba a tu padre.
Tenia responsabilidades de un nivel al que mi educacion y crecimiento no calificaban.
Te ame de mi manera. Y hoy te amo de otra.
Estoy tan orgullosa de ti hija!

Hoy vivo en un mismo dolor.
El dolor de la partida de tu padre.
El dolor de la partida de mi quinta hija.
El dolor de la partida de mi Veronica preciosa.
El dolor de la partida de mis nietos.
El dolor de la partida de tu padrastro.
El dolor de la partida de todos aquellos que fueron parte de mi vida, y que ahora ya no estan cerca.

Todas partidas,sintoma secundario de cambio.
Unos positivos, y otros que sentian como que no tanto.
Pero sabes que es lo mas importnte hija?
Todos los cambios son parte de el divino plan de dios omnipresente.

Si. Me levante un poco triste y sola.
Con ese cronico cansansio, y lamentando mi pasado.
Pero esa omnipresencia de la ultima linea es lo unico,
Que le da paz a esta vieja cabeza.
Paz de saber que Dios tiene todo bajo control.

3D Caroline in Watercolor

Thank God for having a free day!

I told myself that I wasn’t going to do any school work today.

So I grabbed my watercolors, listened to Natalia Lafourcade,

And painted my friend Caroline from Care’s Pantaloons.

Enjoy!

Tengo
El sabor amargo
En la boca

Mientras
El mundo gira
Mis pies se detienen

Doy la vuelta y camino
En dirección contraria
Doy la vuelta y mis piernas
Se sienten libres

Y la noche sale bien
Que los sonidos
Cubren mis oidos
Y entre migajas de mi ser
Voy recostruyendo mi destino

Tengo helada la piel
La memoria se va después

Tengo
entre mis manos
el pasado

Mientras los árboles miran
me rio de la vida

Muestran el camino donde debo ir
Voy tirando los recuerdos

-Oro Continua

Please don’t let me go. I desperately need you.

GAZING AT THE MOON

We are studying visual artist Rogelio Polesello in class.
Such research has caused me to currently be amused by the shape of a circle.
The eternity of the line itself that makes the circle,
And the depth of endless possibilities inside this eternal shape.
All of this in parallel with the ability an artist has to create a moment.
Sometimes a moment that although not “eternal”,
Comes as close as we can get to being able to “create” something eternal,
Taking my time to think about all of this is important to my visual brain,
Because it at least makes me think that I might grasp a bit better the idea of eternity.
Specially when I think of clothing, or recipes, or music;
Things that were already there. Created by God. Discovered by someone.
Most importantly, things that now are an important part of life.
All of them appearing as if they have existed forever
Specially to people like me. Born in an era where there was already a norm.
And yes…I know this might be a vain way to attempt to understand eternity.
But to me, it helps as a reminder that God is the beginning and the end.
If I get overwhelmed by the idea of an item having existed for so long in history.
then I have nothing left but to be in awe at the fact that God has always been.
God is everywhere. We don’t create anything.
May I always give the Glory to Him.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”- Revelation 22:13

Love can save us all

That’s What’s up- Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros 
I’ll be the church, you be the steeple.
You be the King, I’ll be the people.
While I was feeling such a mess, I thought you’d leave me behind.
While I was being such a wreck, I thought you’d treat me unkind.
But you helped me change my mind.
I’ll be the sun, you be the shining.
You be the clock, I’ll be the timing.
While I was feeling such a mess, I thought you’d leave me behind.
While I was feeling so upset, I thought the sun never shine.
Then I found… Forever…
Hey! Hey! love!
We’ve been best friends forever darling.
That’s’ what’s up!
Forever!
No matter what!
You’ve got my love to lean on darling.
That’s what’s up!
You’ve got my love to lean on darling.
No matter what!
You be the book, I’ll be the binding.
You be the words, I’ll be the rhyming.
While I was feeling such a wreck, I thought of losing my mind.
While I was feeling such a mess, I thought the sun never shine.
You be the bird, I’ll be the feather.
We’ll be the best of friends forever.
While I was feeling such a mess I thought you’d leave me behind.
When I was feeling such a wreck, I thought you’d treat me unkind.
Then I found…
Forever!… And Always!
You’ve got my love to lean on darling.
All the days!
Forever!
Come with me!
You’ve got my love to lean on darling.
All the days!
You’ve got my love to lean on darling.
All the… days…
All of our days…
Yeah…
Love is a shelter.
Love is a cause.
Love goes on forever.
Yeah, Love will leads us all.
Love! It is our honor.
Love! It is our all.
Love goes on forever.
Yeah, Love it is our home.
Oh yeah!
Yeah! That’s what’s up!
Oh yeah!
That’s what’s up!
Yeah That’s what’s up!
