Dreams With Kites - Refuse A Circular Life

DREAMS WITH COMETASLe have liked to finish the kite and fly, enjoy their old entertainments, ... but could not find the right material for the arc of the zumbadera.

He despaired birulíes bending, polishing reeds and vines,

and trying other materials used to zumbaderas kite ....

but always, ending the kite is spoiled.

His youthful spirit had not been drowned by the heavy responsibilities of the entry into adulthood and childhood was like grinding iron in a world full of ideals which made him continuing with kites unfinished dreams ...

and every night, when only lacked the zumbadera, asked time to sleep and a bow to their god to end the comet.

REFUSE TO LIFE CIRCULARNegarse the circular repetition of the history of our own,

of our people and our time.

Refusing to repeat the circular life hurts

that hurts and has no sense.

We have been wounded and hurt, but we can forge new lives

without injury and without feeling the need to hurt us.

We have been taught ... and learned and ignored;

but that which gives rise to it is not learning or ignorance ...

is love and action for good.

We have argued, cried, offended, humiliated, scorned and paragraph;

however, is what satisfies the apartment, no hidden harmony, or silence selfish or vain flattery, no aggrandizement, no false love.

What enhances and gives life satisfaction is the remake, reconstructing, building developments, the break patterns that truncate our fulfillment and happiness, to devise new worlds and new lives ...

For good, for forgiveness, tolerance, wisdom of God we believe ...

That god of good, live, enjoy the wisdom to do good.

Refusing to repeat the circular life that turn,

that haunts us, which leads us to believe that what we require is fair,

good and productive duty.

Because nobody can legarnos duty: the duty born of the soul when the soul is just and good.
