Tiempo
Pasa el tiempo el sentimiento sigue siendo igual
que todos mis momentos junto a ti.
Todo parecía eterno y de repente hoy
encuentro que tu ya no estas aquí.
No se ni como sucedió
y hoy me invade este dolor
de tantas cosas que jamas logre decir.
Se fue el momento....
La cantidad de horas pasan en silencio
Y yo perdido en tantas cosas menos tu.
Teniendo tantas ocasiones
me falto decir que creo en este vida por tu luz
decirte que eres tu mi amor
la mas hermosa bendición
que tu me mirada da razón a mi existir
que daría cualquier cosa
por poder volver atrás y darte todo lo que quise dar
decirte lo que falto decir.
Se fue el momento.....
Se fue el momento.....

On the art of the sword
Impassive Comprehension
Paulo Coelho
Many centuries ago, in the days of the samurais, a text was written in Japan on the spiritual art of wielding the sword: “Impassive comprehension”, also known as “The Treatise of Tahlan”, the name of the author (a fencing master and Zen monk). Below an extract that I have adapted:
Keeping calm
Whoever understands the meaning of life knows that nothing has a beginning and an end, and so he does not become anguished. He fights for what he believes in without trying to prove anything to anyone, keeping the quiet calm of one who has had the courage to choose his destiny.
This holds true for both love and war.
Escaping from threats
We often think that the ideal attitude is to give life for a dream, but there is nothing more mistaken than this. In order to make a dream come true, we need to conserve our life, and so we have to know how to avoid whatever is threatening us. The more we premeditate on our steps, the more we stand to be wrong, because we are not taking others into consideration, or life’s teachings, or passion and calm. The more we feel we are in control, the farther we are from controlling anything at all. A threat gives no warning, and a quick reaction cannot be programmed like a walk on Sunday afternoon.
So if you want to be in harmony with your love or with your fight, learn to react fast. Using polite observation, do not let your supposed experience of life turn you into a machine, but rather use this experience always to listen to “the voice of the heart.” Even if you disagree with what this voice is saying, respect it and follow its advice, for it knows the best moment to act and the right moment to avoid action.
This also holds true for both love and war.
Finding the right master
Our path will always cross that of many others who for love or pride wish to teach us something. How can we tell the friend apart from the manipulator? The answer is simple: the true master is not the one who teaches an ideal path but rather he who shows his pupil the many ways that lead to the road that must be travelled to reach the destination. As of the moment that you find this road, the master can no longer help you, because your challenges are unique.
This holds true neither for love nor war - but if we fail to understand this item, we will never get anywhere.
