I wish you

I wish you the joy of always having someone
with whom to share everything …

I hope you have good memories
laid back with the thought in bad times …

I wish one of the best small daily joys:
open a book that you remember well,
leave the pages,
read the first word family

I wish you the wonder of spring and
stated that it is always better than
had dared to hope.

I wish you the happiness of a gift from a child:
– A bouquet of wilted dandelions,
– A half-sucked candy
– A frog
– A kiss

We hope that you can, even if only once in a lifetime,
see something infinitely rare, strange and beautiful.

I wish you the melancholy of a winter garden,
After months of waiting, the small, green vegetable of spring.

I wish to remain fascinated by the endless
variety of animal life
I wish you the confidence of a wild creature,
conquered with patience and love.

We hope that you will not have to buy
love at the price of humiliation.

We hope that you can always find
right words to keep in place
the bullies and have enough strength
in the knees to walk with dignity.

We hope that you might have a heart full of love
noticed and evaluations.

I wish you the joy of being wanted,
and find the perfect gift,
smell of the earth, from the open meadow.

I wish you letters:
with handwriting that you recognize immediately,
in a hand you have not seen for years.

I wish you letters full of praise, full of encouragement:
letters of gratitude and love.
I wish you letters wasted,
ink-stained, crooked written
covered with kisses.

I wish you happiness to forget the past
and find new beginnings.

I wish you the happiness of ideas,
the excitement of reason,
the triumph of knowledge,
clearing, the view, the worsening of hearing,
reaching out to new discoveries,
take pleasure in the past as well as from the present.
I wish you the joy of creativity.

I wish you happiness … but not the happiness that is achieved by closing out the world.
Not even to deny your dreams for the sake of comfort.
I wish you the happiness of doing what you do in the best way.
Run the risk of groped, to take the risk to give, to take the risk of loving.
Happiness is with kindness: it is a loan

Carta a Nancy (y a tod@s los que dudan si escolarizar o no)

Hola Nancy, No te conozco sino a través de la confianza de Angélica, así que voy a escribirte como si te conociera.  Nuestra familia se desescolarizó años antes de que naciera nuestra primera hija, Rosario. Es más, una de las razones por las que me consideré "compatible" con el padre de mis hijos para crear un experimento de pareja, fue la sospecha y el desasosiego que nos producía la escolarización.  Pero...una cosa es cómo te imaginas la cotidianidad desescolarizada, y otra un poco distinta como es (todo en la vida es así no?). De todas maneras era muy claro, por muchas razones, que no queríamos darle a nuestrs hijos ni la educación elitista y blanca que no podíamos (ni queríamos) pagar de los colegios considerados "excelentes" (yo misma me gradué de uno de esos); ni la educación de obrero raso que nos ofrecía la educación pública. (Nota al margen a propósito de esto. Si esta diferencia es notoria en Bogotá, no se imaginan Cartagena. La educación pública aquí es ....

Sobre religión, espiritualidad y otras cositas

Ultimamente pienso mucho en la educación religiosa de mis hijos. Vengo de una familia particular en este aspecto. Bisabuelo escéptico, bisabuela beata, tío bisabuelo masón y 3 tías bisabuelas espiritistas. Abuelos católicos 3 y ateo el 4to. Papás confundidos, aún. Mi papá ha pasado, y me paseó, por todas las religiones imaginables, desde hare krishna hasta judíos cristianos, y todo lo intermedio, una verdadera pedagogía de la creencia. Mi mamá peca y reza, y se echa la bendición, y respeta los curas, y nunca va a misa, pero a veces sí, y cuando va comulga. Y entonces sigo yo. Fui criada catolica por mi abuela. De niña, odiaba ir a misa, me daba una pereza infinita pero me tocaba. Durante toda mi adolescencia tuve la fortuna de pertenecer a un grupo católico llamado AJAM que, tengo que admitir, me hizo quien soy junto con el colegio. Otras formaciones posteriores sumaron, pero las estructuras de mi formación sin duda son dos pilares: AJAM y el CNG. Tengo un amigo que dice que...

If- Rudyard Kipling (traduccion libre al español)

If -Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long ...
