GRACIAS AL UNIVERSO

-

 

Gracias al Universo por la vida que tengo.

Yo que antes miraba las vidas ajenas

y se me hacían vidas con sabor a dulzura,

vidas intactas sin perfume de pena.

 

Gracias al Universo por la vida que tengo.

Una vida que en el pasado tuvo olor a miedo,

aroma de soledad, sombra de muerte,

y días interminables de hastío y de fuego.

 

Gracias al Universo por la vida que he creado.

Una vida con el color del alba transparente,

C


on días que sólo saben a amores verdaderos,

horas serenas que danzan en mi mente.

"Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe". Galileo Galilei

  I don't believe in religion because religion was fabricated by men, but I do believe in the Divinity of the Universe. I was always struck by those philosophers such as Galileo or Pythagoras who affirmed that, at its deepest level, reality is mathematical. In other words, ours is a Universe that works according to a predictable order, and whose eternal rules never change. As the years of my life went by, I began to look differently at the reality that surrounds us. While at first glance, human relationships and life's conflicts seem complicated and difficult to understand, I realized that beneath of it all dwells an almost mathematical simplicity. For example, I have often heard of people who, after having displayed for years a disrespectful attitude towards their environment, suddenly face misfortune. Likewise, there are others who from the outside seem to have it all, but suffer from a deep emptiness that pervades their entire life. On the other hand, there are those of us...

THERE IS AN ANGEL AT EVERY CORNER

  From my book CUENTOS DEL MÁS ACÁ Y DEL MÁS ALLÁ  (Amazon) It was in 2007 when I was about to move to Miami Beach after selling the house in Coral Gables where my ex-husband, my son and I had lived for many years. That year, the Portability Act had come out in Florida, allowing owners who moved to a new home to continue paying the same taxes of their sold residence and avoid paying the higher taxes of their new house. The news filled me with joy because since we had bought that house at a low price, its property taxes were also low; above all, the new law diminished my financial concerns as a divorced woman. Still, things were not as simple as I thought. When I went to sign the sale contract of my house, the buyer's lawyer pointed out to me that my name on the house deed was incorrect; they had written María instead of Marina. Although I am quite obsessive with forms and documents, for some reason I had never found the time to redo the deed when I should have. However, that d...

KNOW YOURSELF. LIFE WILL BE BETTER.

  The famous Delphic maxim, Know Thyself , spread by Socrates and later by Plato in his writings, is also found in earlier philosophers. In the same way, we also notice it in philosophers of the modern era, and in Freud's theories of the unconscious. Although its syntax seems easy to understand, if we try to explain what this aphorism means, many of us will find the task difficult. Knowing oneself in depth is not an easy journey, especially because we do not really know what it is that we must know better. Since we tend to hide all that we dislike about ourselves in our unconscious, we are also inclined to concentrate on what is easy to detect. However, if we live our life with our intimate eyes closed, our relationships with the rest of the world will not last long. Many years ago, when I was much younger and knew almost nothing about psychology, I fell in love with a guy who, in one of our first intimate conversations, confessed that his mother was a hateful human being. Althoug...
