Dog-earer reader.
"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle." Lewis Carroll
«¿Quién soy? Ah, ese es el gran acertijo». Lewis Carroll
That's the way I live... my way
I strive to find the centre of mandala, my excentric centre, my soul's kibutz.
I believe I believe in a marvellous and ungraspable thing, something many religions have given different names, but which I dare to think unique: love.
----------------------------------
Así vivo... a mi manera
Busco el centro del mandala, mi centro excéntrico, el kibutz de mi alma.
Creo que creo en algo inasible y maravilloso cuya nomenclatura, definida por diversas religiones, me atrevo a pensar única:amor

Honrar la vida- Eladia Blázquez: "No es lo mismo que vivir honrar la vida....Merecer la vida no es callar y consentir tantas injusticias repetidas.... Hay tanta pequeña vanidad en nuestra tonta humanidad enceguecida. Merecer la vida es erguirse vertical, más allá del mal, de las caídas...."
