es ella
escucho su voz
- 2013 mixed media on paper -
en los vientos
obedezco sus consejos
en los sueños
siento las fragancias de rosas
es ella
la madre
es ella
la diosa
es ella
la niña y la mujer
When I write something in Spanish, it is a challenge to translate into any other language without losing the essence...
I hear her echo
in the winds
I obey her advice
in the dreams
I breathe the fragrance of roses
she is
the mother
she is
the goddess
she is
the girl and the woman

the energy of this moment
- 2013 mixed media from a new series - |
"Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.
Love the moment, and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries."
- Corita Kent (1918 – 1986)
love the moment...
RIGHT NOW...THIS MOMENT...
breathe this moment in and just love it, be grateful for it...

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER."
- Mark Twain (1835-1910)
Happy Birthday Ricardo...I love you

what excites your spirit?
"Be patient. Respond to every call that excites your spirit. Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back toward disease and death." - RUMI

Milagros Teran - in DC - TONIGHT
- mixed media on paper - |
sale a caminar y baila en las esquinas
vuelve a las canciones de cuna
y a pintarse los labios de rojo
delante de los hombres.
Mi soledad te pertence.
Dormitan ancladas en mis puertos
las teorias de catedrales y monjas sin cabellos
y por eso soy tuya,
en los minutos fugaces de mi alboroto
tenaz contra el tiempo
contra todo lo escrito y deshecho
vengo de nuevo a darte vida
surges de los recuerdos
y estoy sola
contigo."
- Milagros Teran, Julio 1988
The talented Nicaraguan poet will be presenting her bilingual book, "Las Luces en la Sien / The Lights at My Temple" at 6:00 PM - Portico Bookstore, 1350 New York Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.

my world of lovers
- 2013 mixed media from my journals - |
All can see this flame
My heart is pulsing with passion
like waves on an ocean
My friends have become strangers
and I'm surrounded by enemies
But I'm free as the wind
no longer hurt by those who reproach me
I'm at home wherever I am
and in the room of lovers
I can see with closed eyes
the beauty that dances
Behind the veils
intoxicated with love
I too dance the rhythm
of this moving world
I have lost my senses
in my world of lovers
- RUMI

piensa en mi
- from 2007 journals - mixed media - |
si tienes un hondo penar
piensa en mí,
si tienes ganas de llorar
piensa en mí,
ya ves que venero
tu imagen divina,
piensa en mí,
si tienes ganas de llorar
piensa en mí,
ya ves que venero
tu imagen divina,
tu párvula boca,
que siendo tan niña,
me enseñó a pecar.
piensa en mí
cuando beses,
cuando llores,
también piensa en mí.
cuando quieras
quitarme la vida,
no la quiero para nada,
para nada me sirve sin ti.
que siendo tan niña,
me enseñó a pecar.
piensa en mí
cuando beses,
cuando llores,
también piensa en mí.
cuando quieras
quitarme la vida,
no la quiero para nada,
para nada me sirve sin ti.

porque yo te quiero
- 2013 mixed media - |
De alcanzar y comenzar de nuevo,
Aceptar tus sombras,
Enterrar tus miedos,
Liberar el lastre,
Retomar el vuelo.
No te rindas que la vida es eso,
Continuar el viaje,
Perseguir tus sueños,
Destrabar el tiempo,
Correr los escombros,
Y destapar el cielo.
No te rindas, por favor no cedas,
Aunque el frío queme,
Aunque el miedo muerda,
Aunque el sol se esconda,
Y se calle el viento,
Aún hay fuego en tu alma,
Aún hay vida en tus sueños.
Porque la vida es tuya y tuyo también el deseo,
Porque lo has querido y porque te quiero.
Porque existe el vino y el amor, es cierto.
Porque no hay heridas que no cure el tiempo.
Abrir las puertas,
Quitar los cerrojos,
Abandonar las murallas que te protegieron,
Vivir la vida y aceptar el reto,
Recuperar la risa,
Ensayar un canto,
Bajar la guardia y extender las manos,
Desplegar las alas,
E intentar de nuevo,
Celebrar la vida y retomar los cielos.
No te rindas, por favor no cedas,
Aunque el frío queme,
Aunque el miedo muerda,
Aunque el sol se ponga y se calle el viento,
Aún hay fuego en tu alma,
Aún hay vida en tus sueños.
Porque cada día es un comienzo nuevo,
Porque esta es la hora y el mejor momento.
Porque no estás solo, porque yo te quiero.
- Mario Benedetti (1920 - 2009)

cómo duele que estés tan lejos
- 2013 mixed media - |
Y el número después del infinito,
E instalé la Osa Mayor en tu diadema
Y tú seguías ahí como si nada;
Endulcé el agua del mar para tu sed,
Te alquilé un cuarto menguante de la luna,
Y como buen perdedor busqué en la cama
Las cosas que el amor no resolvía.
Y cómo duele que estés tan lejos
Durmiendo aqui en la misma cama;
Cómo duele tanta distancia,
Aunque te escucho respirar
Y estás a cientos de kilómetros
Y duele quererte tanto,
Fingir que todo está perfecto
Mientras duele gastar la vida
Tratando de localizar
Lo que hace tiempo se perdió...
Acabé con los jardines por tus flores,
Inventé la alquimia contra la utopía,
Y he llegado a confundir con la ternura
La lástima con que a veces me miras;
Que triste es asumir el sufrimiento,
patético es creer que una mentira
convoque a los duendes del milagro,
que te hagan despertar enamorada.
Por qué nos duele tanta distancia,
Fingir que todo está perfecto
Mientras sientes que te duele
gastar la vida durmiendo aquí en la misma cama...
Cómo duele..."
- Ricardo Arjona

just like a woman
- 2013 watercolor from A Thousand Kisses Deep series - |
She makes love just like a woman, yes she does...
And she aches just like a woman...
But she breaks just like a little girl...
When we meet again,
introduced as friends,
please don't let on that you knew me when,
I was hungry and it was your world...
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes you do...
You make love just like a woman, yes you do...
Then you ache just like a woman...
But you break just like a little girl..."
- Bob Dylan

play flirt kiss
When I learned the name and address of that, I went to where you sell perfume.
I begged you not to trouble me so with longing.
Come out and play!
Flirt more naturally.
Teach me how to kiss.
On the ground a spread blanket, flame that's caught and burning well, cumin seeds browning, I am inside all this with my soul." - RUMI
a lovely poem that found this morning after my yoga and meditation

a sacred vessel of perfection
- detail from my journals - |
Everything under heaven is a sacred vessel and cannot be controlled. Trying to control leads to ruin. Trying to grasp, we lose.
Allow your life to unfold naturally. Know that it too is a vessel of perfection.
Just as you breathe in and breathe out,
there is a time for being ahead and a time for being behind;
a time for being in motion and a time for being at rest;
a time for being vigorous and a time for being exhausted;
a time for being safe and a time for being in danger.
To the sage all of life is a movement toward perfection, so what need has he/she for the excessive, the extravagant, or the extreme?"
- 29th Verse, Living the Wisdom of the TAO, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

sending NEW MOON kisses
- 2013 watercolor - |
They were acting a little lost, not knowing exactly where I was.
I was busy upstairs.
But now we are all having tea and talking about you, and wishing you were here.
And they imparted all you intended. They did well.
One more thing: I have seen you at your best and at your worst; still you are always welcome near me." - HAFIZ

coral dreams - from my 2007 journals
At the edge of the sea with my feet in the sand, fiery red treasures appeared.
The ancient coral had traveled hundreds of miles from the depths of Mother Ocean's womb.
I gathered several large nuggets of the protective amulet, symbolic of rebirth, healing and wisdom.

blue oceans and lions
I dreamed with blue oceans and lions,
I heard his voice calling to me...
I wrote to him in blue spanish
~~~~~~~
lineas azules,
besos celestes,
abrazos morados risas rosadas,
y luz infinita...
