Just the way you are - Bruno Mars

Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look ok, I say

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are(yeah)

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So, don't even bother asking if you look ok
You know I'll say

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
The way you are, the way you are
Girl you're amazing, just the way you are

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah

That's it.

Nothing else.

The only reason for the only purpose.

My goal in life

I don't want accomplishments or acquisitions or positions or actions.

I'm not trying to win or succeed or conquer.

I want to learn to totally surrender.

You light me in

Twinkling little stars from the dark sky

have sparkled a light in my heart tonight.

And a delightful spring colored wind

gently waved me good night.

Swimming

Carry nothing

Think of nothing

Just your body and the water

Just your breath and the air

Many images flash into your mind

Many feelings come into your heart

But nothing ties you up

Your body only needs water to keep on moving

Your breath only needs air to keep on going

It's just this simple

Just your body and the water

Just your breath and the air

Instantes (Jorge Luis Borges ?)

Si pudiera vivir nuevamente mi vida,
en la próxima trataría de cometer más errores.
No intentaría ser tan perfecto, me relajaría más.
Sería más tonto de lo que he sido,
de hecho tomaría muy pocas cosas con seriedad.
Sería menos higiénico.
Correría más riesgos,
haría más viajes,
contemplaría más atardeceres,
subiría más montañas, nadaría más ríos.
Iría a más lugares adonde nunca he ido,
comería más helados y menos habas,
tendría más problemas reales y menos imaginarios.

Yo fui una de esas personas que vivió sensata
y prolíficamente cada minuto de su vida;
claro que tuve momentos de alegría.
Pero si pudiera volver atrás trataría
de tener solamente buenos momentos.

Por si no lo saben, de eso está hecha la vida,
sólo de momentos; no te pierdas el ahora.

Yo era uno de esos que nunca
iban a ninguna parte sin un termómetro,
una bolsa de agua caliente,
un paraguas y un paracaídas;
si pudiera volver a vivir, viajaría más liviano.

Si pudiera volver a vivir
comenzaría a andar descalzo a principios
de la primavera
y seguiría descalzo hasta concluir el otoño.
Daría más vueltas en calesita,
contemplaría más amaneceres,
y jugaría con más niños,
si tuviera otra vez vida por delante.

Pero ya ven, tengo 85 años…
y sé que me estoy muriendo.

Servir a Cristo - Migdalia Rivera

No nací para ocupar un lugar
Ni un espacio en la esfera terrenal
Fui creada para ser un servidor
Un instrumento de servicio al Señor

No nací para obtener ni adquirir
Fui creada para dar y servir
El propósito en mi vida cumpliré
Y a mis hermanos en el reino ayudaré

Servir a Cristo, servir a Cristo
El modelo a seguir
De servicio, entrega, amor y santidad
Grande es su bondad

Por Jesucristo, por Jesucristo
Vivir sirviendo a los demás
Contribuyendo con los dones que El me da.

Time

Time heals all wounds and the deepest scars.

It explains the incomprehensible and the mysterious.

It reveals intimate secrets and the cleverest lies.

Time dulls past memories but makes real the dullest visions.

It eternalizes instants but vanishes long histories.

It revives the forgotten and forgets the arrogant.

It encourages the weak and humbles the powerful.

It covers infinite space, yet it enslaves minds and bodies.

But time is not fair and much less compassionate.

It's too fast or too slow. It's too short or too long.

It's a chance and a test. It's a luck and a disgrace.

It doesn't show mercy in moments of repentance.

It doesn't reward whatever hardwork and perseverance.

It's said to be the most precious, but in fact it's commonly wasted.

And people try to conquer though it never lets itself be managed.

It's said to be divine, and bad timing becomes an excuse for failures

while good timing is attributed to the lucky one's power.

It's not people who pursue times; it's time that comes.

It's not people who get ready for the right time; it's time that prepares.

And now time has come to me, the time I have cherished for so long.

It's telling me to stop, so that I can start.

It's telling me to leave, so that I can go.

A heritage worth leaving

"Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good." (Rom. 8:26~28)

There is no more word I could say to what the scripture has promised me. It comforts my soul and makes into good the stupidities I have committed. It raises up the weak and the poor. It nullifies all our masterpieces and wisdoms we have proudly accumulated. It makes us all bow before the infinite and amazing grace that was given to each of us.

Nothing on this earth and beyond this universe can be explained without the Cross and nothing grand can explain the true meaning of it. A small faith is just enough. Life vanishes in an instant and legacies are useless, but faith is a heritage worth leaving to next generations.
