Find something that happened on the day and date you were born. Write about it.


1st March, 1978 : The coffin of Charlie Chaplin was stolen from a small, unguarded village cemetery in Switzerland .
:)


My mom told me that  she was reading a book when I was about to born, I don't remember very well which book, maybe something of Mario Benedetti?
I will ask her as soon as I can.
But she said that the book was *so* good that she couldn't stop reading and she better focus in the
book than the pain... until ...

I was HERE.

maybe that's why I love books.

The more i calm the inner beast of my self, 
the stronger the sound of the silence 
I can hear.

Work, Trabajo, Lavoro, Le travail madames et messieurs!




It looks like the real work needs a little bit of Physics, Thermodynamics, human labor, theology and the most important... this kind of ability to exert pulls or PUSHES AGAINST the BASIC FORCES OF NATURE...along a path of certain length.
We need Energy, we need direction, we need a splendid heart, we need faith, we need a simple believe system with out limitations, and we need a impressive cognoscenti.
To get all of the above (i think) is the "work". 
There is no goal we can't achieve after we do the "work".


Wow.
:)




In physics:

Work: the amount of energy transferred by a force
W = F.d
work = Force and displacement


Work (thermodynamics): the quantity of energy transferred from one system to another


Human labor:

Labor (economics): measure of the work done by human beings


Manual labor: physical work done by people


Wage labor: in which a worker sells their labor and an employer buys it


Work (project management): the effort applied to produce a deliverable or accomplish a task


In theology:

Karma: causes the cycle of cause and effect, or Saṃsāra.


Work (Christian theology): acts of charity


Energy (Ancient Greek: ἐνέργεια energeia "activity, operation")
is an indirectly observed quantity. 
It is often understood as the ability a physical system has to do work on other physical systems.

 Since work is defined as a force acting through a distance (a length of space), energy is always equivalent to the ability to exert pulls or pushes against the basic forces of nature, along a path of a certain length.



Do your work, and I shall know you. Do your work, and you shall reinforce yourself. –

open to the unknown --- ABRETE---



“What alternative opportunities, interpretations and paths am I not seeing?”

 maybe we can't see them because the universe it's dark, so keep swimming! and turn on your stars.


When good is near you, when you have life in yourself, it is not by any known or accustomed way; you shall not discern the foot-prints of any other; you shall not see the face of man; you shall not hear any name; the way, the thought, the good, shall be wholly strange and new. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Now Do. The Study. You Need. AND. No Fear will stop you."


"When the mind has no hindrance no fear exist"

 how ignorant are you?

The fool when he doesn't know he thinks he knows; when he knows, he doesn't know he knows.
The Wise when he doesn't know, he knows he doesn't know; When he knows, he knows that he knows.
:)
(sounds better in Spanish or Mandarin, or Sanskrit)


"Now Do. The Thing. You Fear."
It's not about quitting your boring job,
It's not about having guts or super bravery.
It's not about yelling your "truth" to the world.

It's about facing IGNORANCE
it's about studying hard, Paying attention, observing,
and cultivating prajna. Accepting corrections.
It's about be prepared, ready, alert, and create the causes
for that BIG JUMP.

yet, i know, sometimes is easier to turn on the t.v. and have fun,
and use bad words.



These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world. Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.
 – Ralph Waldo Emerson


"Now Do. The Study. You Need. AND. No Fear will stop you."

What is burning deep inside of me? If I could spread my personal message RIGHT NOW to 1 million people, what would I say?


Our hearts are like the resplendent Quetzal birds.


These largely solitary Quetzal birds can,

despite their bright plumage, 
be surprisingly difficult to see in their wooded habitats.





  
My dear one million people,
the dark tide is heavy and high.

Difficult to hide from electricity
difficult to hide from family
difficult to keep silence,
more difficult to have a private nanosecond
with our splendid heart.

We swim in the most scary, mysterious, unbelievable Dark matter, full of phenomenas, emptiness and forms.



Rush, Rush... Rush!! seed the urgency to aspire to a higher level of existence!
breathe in, suck up, draw in, inhale the power of generosity and kindness and 
por favor... in the name of "The rays that come from those heavenly worlds"
share this luminous force with the world!!!!!




To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, that is genius. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
