Porque el perro no podia beber

Le preguntaron a Shibli:
- ¿Quién te guió en el camino?
Contestó:
- Un perro.
Un día lo encontré casi muerto de sed a la orilla del río. Cada vez que veía su imagen en el agua,se asustaba y se alejaba creyendo que era otro perro.
Finalmente, fue tal su necesidad que venciendo su miedo se arrojó al agua; y, entonces, “el otro perro” se esfumó. El perro descubrió que el obstáculo era él mismo y la barrera que lo separaba de lo que buscaba había desaparecido.
De esta misma manera, mi propio obstáculo desapareció cuando comprendí que era mi propio ser.Fue la conducta de un perro lo que me señaló por primera vez el Camino

-Idries Shah, El camino sufi

giving a second chance


yep to David Gimore's "On an Island"....didnt like it the first time I heard it...why? I dont have the slightest clue, but today I listened to it twice and loved it. It sounds like autumn, like a marvelous sunset, like a calm lake, dunno just really enjoyed his voice, the rhythm...everything...
Guess Im going nuts huh?
Anyway..its my favorite time of the year so I guess Im permited to go wild...

waking up...

“ Never complain about what you permit”
“Remember, holding resentment is
like taking poison and hoping the other person gets sick. Drop them”
-Anthony de Mello.


Ive been holding on to these two statements lately. Carrying around in my basket hell lot of unfinished and unforgiven issues has been kind of overwhelming. Who can enjoy life like this?! Did you see “The mission”? Well I felt like De Niro, carrying around his armor everywhere ...
Of course is not an easy thing to do, letting go i mean. All these years identifying myself with this armor has had its consequences on my emotional and mental habits. Nevertheless I retook the concept of we humans being as tea leaves sooo unless i want to turn into a nasty bitter ooze, I need to clean up... jejeje

A couple of my fave songs ...thanks to my beloved Hobbit I dedicate these to you, just for being you :D and making me part of your life danke!

Sucede que a veces, Ismael Serrano :D

Pajaros en la cabeza

Sooo thats what i been up to (and still without a decent PC)...for those who asked...noticing the shit inside, accepting it and well..cleaning it up. Salaam!
