Be who you Are.




Before you tell your life what truths and values you have decided to live up to, let your life tell you what truths you embody, what values you represent.

Llamame Azul.


To hide a passion totally (or even to hide, more simply, its excess) is inconceivable: not because the human subject is too weak. But because passion is, in essence, made to be seen: I want you to know that I am hiding something from you, that is the active paradox I must resolve: at one and the same time it must be known and not known: I want you to know that I don't want to show my feelings: that is the message I address to the other.

Revolution.


I asked what she thought, and she said: I don't know.


I smile as I wrought the blue from the snow.


She asked, 'Of what do you believe when you are asleep?'


and I said: My desires don't show because they're buried too deep.


She yanked back her grin and rolled back her eyes,


'Don't start - you're starting. You come as no surprise.'


'Ah, but there you are wrong you prodiguous snake.


For when he talked to me, my heart forgot to shake.'




... A conversation with a close friend of mine. Only recalled and engraved now in rhyme. Don't ask. I have no clue either. Her question: "What happened?"
