Los sonidos de la vida

Estoy sentada escribiendo en la computadora cuando me asalta un sonido armonioso y me doy cuenta de que se trata de un pajarillo que desgañita sus pulmones en la búsqueda del amor.

¡Qué hermosos son los sonidos de la vida y qué terrible que nos perdamos de ellos absortos en nuestros pequeños mundos!

Veo a la gente pasar desde la ventana de la oficina y noto cómo caminan con la cabeza baja, mirando el suelo, casi no ven hacia adelante y, a pesar de ello, no notan la pequeña flor amarilla que se hace caber entre las losas de la banqueta!  No cruzan miradas con la gente con la que se topan y no dudaría que no supieran si caminan al lado de quien sería su alma gemela.

¡Pobre gente sin ánimo y sin tiempo! He pasado los más maravillosos 20 minutos del día escuchando a un simple gorrión cantando en busca del amor; y aún cuando sé perfectamente que no es otra cosa más que una delimitación de territorio y una "guerra" por ser el más adecuado en la reproduccion de la especie ...

School sytstem

Feb 25th 2008
I was just talking to my best friend.   He is married and has a stepson; the kid is around 12; I have never met him but I do not need to, my friend loves him and that is plenty for me.  I did not care to get married or have children of my own -awkward on a woman- but I just do not have any faith in mankind to bring myself to risk having a child:-|

Anyway, we were talking about the school system and the world in general:  Child-molesting priests that seem to operate with the conscent of the Church (ANY church, not just the catholic one); wildlife sanctuaries that are being threaten to dissapear so that the president and his buddies can have real-nice condos, and a school system that just do not care and is not allowed to improve itself.  Somehow seems that children have to study in a very socratic way: "Man, it's YOUR business to learn, I do not ...
