a todos los que conozco y amo:
no se como apareciste entre mis brazos.
mis dientes todavía estaban adoloridos por mantener mi quijada apretada, mis manos aún cansadas de la última lucha. a pesar de todo apareciste entre mis brazos, tu respiración sobre mi pecho y tus manos alrededor de barriga. acerco quedito mis labios a tu frente y te beso. es mi forma de agradecer que no hubieses huido, que en silencio y entre sueños me hayas perdonado.
Sometimes it feels like a kid playing around… but it’s aggressive wisdom and love.
Let’s thanks for letting us be Jonah, for letting us be swallowed by great fish… sometimes He’s saving us and we feel like He is punishing us.
To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you brought my life up from the pit,
O LORD my God.
-Jonah 2.6
May He keep our eyes in the people and not in the plants that make us be comfortable.

ey, descubrí este nuevo servicio, tumblr, es justo lo que quería para la pausa ajena. ahí estarán todos los links que encuentre, imágenes, videos, etc. incluso, algunos post ajenos (por cierto, si a alguien le molesta, pues me dice y lo quito, pero pues esto es internet, no anden atentando contra lo poquito que nos queda). Pues sin más, aquí esta:

Estoy leyendo Vida en comunidad, escrito por Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Bonhoeffer fue un pastor luterano que participó en el movimiento de resistencia contra el nazismo, hoy existe una organización con su nombre.
lo estoy disfrutando mucho, hasta ahora estas son mis citas favoritas:
La hermandad cristiana no es un ideal que nos incumbe realizar sino que es una realidad creada por Dios en Cristo, en la que nos permite participar.
Lo que nos mantiene unidos no es la experiencia de fraternidad cristiana sino la fe firme y segura en esta fraternidad.
La Sagrada Escritura no está compuesta de sentencias aisladas sino que es un todo orgánico que exige manifestarse como tal.
por cierto, pueden encontrar el primer capítulo completo aquí.

En New York Magazine apareció este artículo, esta largo, pero vale la pena echarle una leída, en especial si uno se siente de uno u otro lado de la brecha generacional (je):
según yo este artículo también tiene que ver: espías como nosotros de la siempre amena Marta Peirano. juzgue usted.
it’s so green out there, you know?
sometimes is so quiet you can listen your heartbeat. sometimes is so noisy you just can laught and join the joy.
six years working full time at kikoten. i’ve learned a lot, and G-d has been good with me. i just want Him to take my life and use it to touch you, i just want to be useful so you can see His joy and love.
thank you, thank you for been with me during this time at ministry, thank you all.
may you find the joy (kikoten) of His precense and laugh with us. God bless you.
You have made known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
-Psalm 16:11
i can’t help it, i need to shout. this silence is driving me insane…
somebody stop it. say something, scream with me.
i hate the blank, the white space…
write something. let it go.

i think it’s odd/funny when people come to moby.com or myspace to tell me about christianity from moby’s journal.
pues sí, el autor de la pausa inútil esta casado.
i was talking with my mentor, and he asked me if it was difficult to get used to be out of mexico city (right now i’m living at camp), the city i love and pray for. he made me think, i thought it was going to be a lot harder but it hasn’t. he says it’s because i’m happily married, maybe he’s right, i love my wife and my new life with her. but i think it’s also because i decided to depend on God, and He is blessing me in extraordinary ways that i couldn’t imagine. we are trying to serve Him in everything we do, in every conversation, in every visit, in every chance we have. now more than ever we love Him and we are thankful of His Son.
btw: pronto compartiré fotos de la boda y de una bella luna de miel en guanajuato.

Por si a alguien le interesa:
me caso este sábado siete de octubre, y esta es la casa que habitare:
you won’t be able to forget me, you know?- she said.
yes, i know- i reply.
she’s laying in the bed, i’m leaving the place. i close the door of the empty room…
i’ll never see her again, i don’t want to. she is that girl and that girl and that dream and that lost opportunity. hurts, but the joy provided by my Lord: the blue kids, is bigger and overwhelming.
door 401 will remain closed, and on october seventh i will promise to keep it that way forever…
my heart is full of joy, He is blessing me (and us) so much… why would i want to go back if there is so many promises in the future.
keep praying, i really apreciate that.
