a todos los que conozco y amo:

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.

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:

http://lapausaajena.tumblr.com/

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.

Kids, the Internet, and the End of Privacy: The Greatest Generation Gap Since Rock and Roll — New York Magazine

según yo este artículo también tiene que ver: espías como nosotros de la siempre amena Marta Peirano. juzgue usted.

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 hate the blank, the white space…
write something. let it go.

The Christian Century
i think it’s odd/funny when people come to moby.com or myspace to tell me about christianity from moby’s journal.

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:

Home @ 3marías morelos.

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.

destrozada, miles de fragmentos iracundos (blue and yellow may be bigger, but there are thousands more).
adolescentes vendados, vendidos, bien vestidos… da igual, si votas o no votas… callate, ya me hartaste.
look at the sky (never the heaven), look all those fireworks, can’t you feel it? estamos celebrando, somos nosotros, tú y yo, no hay nadie más, no hay nada más… don’t worry… nobody is going to touch you… i know, i should shut up, ya te harte.

detente.
los miles y miles de fragmentos contenidos en dos grupos… formo parte de uno, y mi corazón grita suplicante y mi mente juega desesperada: haz algo, demuestralo. como nunca tengo la oportunidad de demostrar que soy subdito del Principe de paz…

¿cómo?… se reciben sugerencias, se recibe ayuda, se acepta trabajar en equipo.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
-Matthew 5:16 (KJV)

Its coming through a hole in the air
from those nights in tiananmen square
Its coming from the feel
That it aint exactly real
Or its real, but it aint exactly there
from the wars against disorder
from the sirens night and day
from the fires of the homeless
from the ashes of the gay
Democracy is coming to the u.s.a.

Its coming through a crack in the wall
On a visionary flood of alcohol
from the staggering account
Of the sermon on the mount
Which I dont pretend to understand at all
Its coming from the silence
On the dock of the bay
from the brave, the bold, the battered
Heart of chevrolet
Democracy is coming to the u.s.a.

Its coming from the sorrow on the street
The holy places where the races meet
from the homicidal bitchin
That goes down in every kitchen
To determine who will serve and who will eat
from the wells of disappointment
Where the women kneel to pray
For the grace of God in the desert here
And the desert far away
Democracy is coming to the u.s.a.

Chorus
Sail on, sail on
O mighty ship of state!
To the shores of need
Past the reefs of greed
Through the squalls of hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on…

Its coming to america first
The cradle of the best and of the worst
Its here they got the range
And the machinery for change
And its here they got the spiritual thirst
Its here the familys broken
And its here the lonely say
That the heart has got to open
In a fundamental way
Democracy is coming to the u.s.a.

Its coming from the women and the men
O baby, well be making love again
Well be going down so deep
That the rivers going to weep
And the mountains going to shout amen!
Its coming like the tidal flood
Beneath the lunar sway
Imperial, mysterious
In amorous array
Democracy is coming to the u.s.a.

Chorus

Im sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I cant stand the scene
And Im neither left or right
Im just staying home tonight
Getting lost in that hopeless little screen
But Im stubborn as those garbage bags
That time cannot decay
Im junk but Im still holding up
This little wild bouquet
Democracy is coming to the u.s.a.

el domingo pasado mi hermana se bautizó.

her voice about to cry while telling the world that Jesus is her Savior and Lord is music (la más bella en años). tears in my eyes; joy, love and hope in my blood and heart.
Thank you, Father.

We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
-Romans 6:4(NIV)

please.

i know you are here, i know you know; i know you believe, as me, that everything is going to be better, that this world will be new again. but for now, hide and stay still…

just i while, give me a second, i will stand up, i will keep going… give me a second, please.

hold me. trust me…

i’m feeling sick. stay here.

ojalá lo entendiera todo. ojalá supiera que pasó y que pasará… pero no puedo dejar de reir.
