Symbols

Altura (Castellón, Spain), April 2024 The color of an academic gown, the scent of loved ones, the touch of my favorite tree, the tinkling of a heartfelt toast, the crackling of flames in the cold, the flavor of sharing a table, the landscape from my window. A much longer list is easy to make, but these are all around me tirelessly bringing on peace to may days, health to my body, harmony to my soul.  

Whirlwind

Image
València (Spain), April 2024 Quelling the whirlwind of ideas, of tasks, leads to opening the path to the deeper calmness of quiet awareness.  

Turnaround

Image
Valldecrist Chartreuse, Altura (Castelló, Spain), September 2023 Chaos of tracks of life constantly moving apparently languishing, actually awakening, while filling up my new home. Timely, following their destiny, or following my thoughts, or some kind of indescribable design, rocks, paintings, pictures happen into their right places in my new home. To their own beat, sometimes fast, sometimes awfully slow, the chaos of the perpetual pilgrim recovers near the mountains its essence, the peace of a Carthusian in his cell.  

Haiku #17 (Skin)

Image
Puçol, March 2024 Skin fiercely longing for skin, so that the body inside feels no longing, but life.

Roundabout

Image
Porta de la Mar, València (Spain), March 2024 The energy of an achievement is a thrust to start making a new path which will lead to the next. Endless, irresistible paths, bearing the force and the light to follow them… at least until I reach the next roundabout. Thrust, energy, light and force a clear mind to find the right exit and not ever linger around in doubt.  

Day of Poetry

Image
Puçol (València, Spain), March 2024 In a foreign language I came into the Day of Poetry to put into words feelings of a life about to start. This language is my home, it lets me spread wings to let shared feelings fly up in the sheltering sky, down to the nurturing earth, through every breath I take. Thank you, Poetry, in whichever language you come, for allowing me to fly high with my feet on the ground, with my head in the clouds.

Haiku #16

Image
Bailio Stairs, Córdoba (Spain), March 2024 Searching for happiness I ended up in the labyrinth; I sat down, reflected upon and decided to quit searching and just start living it.
