Pain

How much pain can a person take?
Pain of the heart, pain the soul, pain of the body.

Most of the time it arrives unexpectedly.
Some people choose their pains
Like artist, lovers, dreamers
They adopt other people's pains too.
They make it part of them.


They have an urge to be one with it
Because they have faith, they believe
they love the chosen road .
No matter the obstacles and harshness
the course remains immobile.

When its present , even unjustified ,there is not much you can do.
You can not hide from it.
Or ignore it
It is present and you have to accept it
There is no reason to fight it thinking it will go away.It wont
The fight will only make it stronger.

Act like a future mother who accepts it with the hope that something beautiful will come out of it.

This is a fertile pain not an sterile one.

Do not let it go.
Travel with it
Embraced it.
Breath
Push
Dream
Like a mother. Because something beautiful will be born soon

Guau!
Alex, tus tres textos me parecen muy inspiradores. Qué padre que iniciaste un blog.
"Pain" me recordó aquel texto de Eduardo Galeano (Porque en el fondo uno ama al mundo a partir de la certeza de que este mundo, triste mundo, convertido en campo de concentración, contiene otro mundo posible. Osea que el horror está embarazado de maravilla ), con una bella invitación a nivel personal.
Gracias.
