I believe that the best education you could ever give to an individual is by travelling and learning from other people about their culture, traditions, art, music and folklore, as well as their ways of seeing their world, so over the years Ive learn to be a good listener and appreciative of what we have. I respect and value people and what they have to offer. I enjoy visiting places and ask locals for advice, which so far has been incredibly rewarding. So,if you want to become a universal soul, the best way to do it is by walking away from your comfort zone and smiling for the picture!

Im always looking at ways to remember.

Remember the sky you were born under,
know each of the star's stories.
Remember the moon, know who she is.
Remember the sun's birth at dawn, that is the
strongest point in time. Remember sundown
and the giving away to night.
Remember your birth, how your mother struggled
to give you form and breath. You are evidence of
her life, and her mother's, and hers.
Remember your father. He is your life, also.
Remember the earth whose skin you are:
red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth
brown earth, we are earth.
Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them,
listen to them. They are alive poems.
Remember the wind. Remember her voice. She knows the
origin of this universe.
Remember you are all people and all people
are you.
Remember you this universe and this
universe is you.
Remember all is in motion, is growing, is you.
Remember the language comes from this.
Remember the dance language is, that life is.
Remember.

From the book How We Became Human, New and Selected Poems:1975 - 2001.

PHILOSOPHY

I like reading books in my hamaca, my family is very important to me....always has been, always will be. I have a deep respect for people who are true to themselves, even in the weakest moments. I like people who value friendships, commitments, and strive to benefit themselves and the ones they love. I also appreciate people who are sincere, innocent, and simple people, but of course.. people that can throw themselves into new things in which they believe.

I believe that life is as simple as making ordinary momments look as extraordinary as possible.

And You learn how to LOVE!!

"UNO APRENDE" Y uno aprende... despues de un tiempo, uno aprende la sutil diferencia entre sostener una mano y encadenar un alma.

Y uno aprende que el amor no significa recostarse y una compañia no significa seguridad. Y uno empieza a aprender.... que los besos no son contratos y los regalos no son promesas y que uno empieza a aceptar sus derrotas con la cabeza alta y los ojos abiertos.

Y uno aprende a construir todos sus caminos en el hoy, porque el terreno del mañana es demasiado inseguro para planes..... y los futuros tienen una forma de caerse en la mitad. Y despues de un tiempo uno aprende que si es demasiado, hasta el calorcito del sol quema. Asi que UNO PLANTA SU PROPIO JARDIN Y DECORA SU PROPIA ALMA EN LUGAR DE ESPERAR QUE ALGUIEN LE TRAIGA FLORES.

Y uno aprende.... que realmente puede aguantar, que uno realmente es fuerte, y que con cada adios uno aprende. JORGE LUIS BORGES
