We are told that those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat, while those who dwell in the past would love nothing more than to repeat it over and over again. But memories, like photographs, have a way of fading with time. Some memories are so powerful that they never fade... memories which become more powerful every time We remember them... thus making our present lives seem a little more faded. But let's not think about that now. Forever ! Feb-24/2015

Sería más fácil, mucho más, callar y para todo olvidarlo parar y nada mirar atrás, tomar en el camino un atajo perder la cordura y disfrutar. Pero entonces, ya después de todo se pasa el atajo recorrido y acaba la alegría del gozo ¿cómo se vive con Uno mismo? No es mejor porque sea más fácil. Si acaso las piedras del camino son muchas, muy grandes y pesadas firme alza tu caminar altivo agranda el paso en cada pisada brinca los tropiezos del destino. Me podré cansar y sabré descansar, pero no me rendiré jamás... 15-Feb/2015

Why do We feel compelled to trace our roots? Those names in the family tree are just that names and yet the kinship We feel to them is powerful. Does the fact that We're rooted in history make Us feel more secure in our present. But what if our family trees are more like vines, twining aimlessly throughout the ages? The truth is each of Us is related. It's just a question of how far back You trace your family tree. Deep down, all of Us have shared blood in our veins. Although, individual tastes may vary. And if We're all related, then all of Us have royal blood. Which is why every child should be treated as a king or queen... no matter how old our children may be. Forever ! Feb-10/2015

The average person is said to apologize 12 times a day. Often, it's to atone for a past wrong, an attempt to heal an old wound. But there are some wounds that can never be healed. They run too deep. Atonement can take many forms, a heartfelt apology, a grand gesture, a silent prayer, or something more complex, more gray, more difficult to decipher. And while it's true that no amount of atonement can ever change the past, it does have the power to heal Us, to restore relationships and connections We thought were lost forever. Forever ! Feb-3/2015
