JUST FOR TODAY... I will be happy

Camerun 2009
 . .
Just for today, I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle
my whole life problem at once.  I can do something for twelve hours
that would appall me if I felt I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

Just for today, I will be happy.  This assumes to be true what
Abraham Lincoln said, that "most folks are as happy as
they make up their minds to be."

Just for today, I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study.
I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer.
I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

Just for today, I will adjust myself to what is, and not try
to adjust everything to my own desires.  I will take my "luck"
as it comes, and fit myself to it.

Just for today, I will exercise my soul in three ways:  I will do
somebody a good turn, and not get found out.  I will do at least
two things I don't want to do--just for exercise.  I will not show
anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt,
but today I will not show it.

Just for today, I will be agreeable.  I will look as well as I can,
dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit,
not find fault with anything and not try to improve
or regulate anybody except myself.

Just for today, I will have a program.  I may not follow
it exactly, but I will have it.  I will save myself from
two pests:  hurry and indecision.

Just for today, I will have a quiet half hour all by myself,
and relax.  During this half hour, sometime, I will try
to get a better perspective of my life.

Just for today, I will be unafraid.  Especially I will not
be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe
that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.

Red Sea 2009

Sólo por hoy...
Sólo para hoy, voy a intentar vivir a través de este día solamente y no abordar
Todos los problemas a la misma vez ...solo por hoy
Que pueda hacer algo por doce horas
y que me haga sentir que lo puedo mantener por toda la vida 
Sólo para hoy, seré feliz. Se supone que para ser verdad lo que
Abraham Lincoln dijo, que "mayoría de la gente es tan feliz como  quieran que sus mentes sean."

Sólo para hoy, voy a intentar fortalecer mi mente. Si estudio.
Aprendere' algo útil. No seré un fosil mental.
Voy a leer algo que requiera esfuerzo, pensado y concentración.

Sólo para hoy, me  ajustare'yo mismo en lo que es ..y no intentare
 ajustar todo lo posible para mis propios deseos. Voy a aprovechar mi "suerte"
como viene y yo mismo adaptarme  a ella.

Sólo por hoy, hare' uso de mi alma de tres formas: haré algo bueno por alguien sin que sepa .Que yo lo hize
 Solo por hoy  haré por lo menos
dos cosas que no quiero hacer--y lo hare' solo para ejercitarme . No mostrare
que aunque esten heridos mis sentimientos no dare ninguna muestra de que los estan
solo por hoy
Sólo para hoy, voy a ser agradable. Lucire lo mejor posible,
vestire  atractivamente, tomare cuidado de mis palabras antes de hablar, actuare Cortésmente, no
criticare a nadie ni a nada.
no buscare fallas  con nada y no intentar mejorar
o regular nadie excepto yo.

Sólo para hoy, voy a tener un plan un progranma tal vez no lo siga al pie de la letra pero lo importante es que solo por hoy lo tendre  eso me salvara de dos plagas .La prisa y la indecisión.

Sólo para hoy, tendre media  tranquila dedicada solo a mi mismo
 
y relajarme. Durante esta media hora, en algún momento, voy a tratar de
para obtener una mejor perspectiva de mi vida.

Sólo para hoy, voy a  estar sin miedo. Sobre todo voy a no
tener miedo a disfrutar de lo que es hermoso Y
que como yo de  al mundo, así que el mundo  me dará a mí.

The turbulent sea and the fisherman

Image
In the gentle and pleasant bosom of the vast nature The mighty and devouring sea is defiant and turbulent in stature, on this day the continuous flamboyant waves are extremely angry And the people are afraid of such fury. Far away in the deep The fishermen are thinking about their fate, As they are listening the waves' threat; They know they may come back or not, This is always the gravest thought, But this is not the horror of a day Year after year there is no ray.

Ode all’allegria: una poesia di Pablo Neruda

Image
Oggi ti invoco, allegria. Come la terra sei necessaria. Come il fuoco sostieni i focolari. Come il pane sei pura. Come l’acqua d’un fiume sei sonora. Come un’ape Distribuisci miele volando. Allegria, fui un giovane taciturno, credetti che la tua chioma fosse scandalosa. Non era vero, me ne resi conto quando sul mio petto essa si sciolse in cascata. Oggi allegria, incontrata per strada, lontano da ogni libro, accompagnami. Con te voglio andare di casa in casa, voglio andare di gente in gente, di bandiera in bandiera. Tu non appartieni soltanto a me, Andremo sulle isole, sui mari. Andremo nelle miniere, nei boschi. E non soltanto boscaioli solitari, povere lavandaie o spigolosi, augusti tagliapietre, mi riceveranno con i tuoi grappoli, ma i congregati, i riuniti, i sindacati del mare o del legno, i valorosi ragazzi nella loro lotta. Con te per il mondo! Con il mio canto! Con il volo socchiuso della stella, e con la gioia del...

I like for you to be still ......

I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent, and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you. It seems as though your eyes had flown away and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth. As all things are filled with my soul you emerge from the things, filled with my soul. You are like my soul, a butterfly of dream, and you are like the word Melancholy. I like for you to be still and you seem far away. It sounds as though you were lamenting, a butterly cooing like a dove. And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you: Let me come down to be still in your silence. And let me talk to you with your silence that is bright as a lamp, simple as a ring. You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations. Your silence is that of a star, as remote and candid. I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent, distant and full of sorrow as though you had died. One word then, one smile, is enough. And I...
