Just An Unsuccessful Attempt to Look for Answers

I sit here and wonder what type of beings we are? What kind of godly alchemy mixed the original atoms, coming like a cloud from all over the universe to give birth to this awkward animal that we are? What mishap appeared in the evolution process that led to the creation of this physically weakContinue reading “Just An Unsuccessful Attempt to Look for Answers”

Birds

“Give me your hand and let’s enter!” I said while looking in fear at the dimming light inside the forest. The path started straight and soon got swallowed by the woods. The breeze we felt earlier ceded and only the upper branches moving talked about its presence. At first we heard the stream. As weContinue reading “Birds”

PASSING ANGEL

I didn’t know you had wings Until you no longer could fly. The image of an angel, the guardian of your life, is misrepresented. One morning I saw a flock of birds landing down on the trees of a forest. Everything was so fucking green, but the sky was so damn blue. The sun wasContinue reading “PASSING ANGEL”

Simple

Check out the picture above. What you see is smoked mackerel. People living near seas and oceans have used available resources to survive. Humans are curious and daring creatures and they always tried to improve and play, using their minds to adapt and create. They used their hands to build tools; they used the toolsContinue reading “Simple”

A Praise to the Wild

As I stand here looking at a small corner of the forest, all I can see is dead leaves and dry fallen branches. The nature came to a rest. I can feel a breeze on my face, but down there, close to the ground, I can’t notice any movement. I am sure there might beContinue reading “A Praise to the Wild”

THE WAYS WE SEE THE WORLD

I can make the landscape of the view of a US Coast Guard ship standing guard on the river. Its presence on the spot, underneath the great rusty bridge, can boost your feeling of belonging to a country. Humble women and men are watching over our safety and comfort in our homes. The bridge mightContinue reading “THE WAYS WE SEE THE WORLD”

The Big Trap

When I was a child, I used to look at adults with the greatest envy. From the confinement of the educational institutions, in which I was bonded by a contract between society and my family in which nobody had asked for my opinion, less so an official agreement, even though it resulted in impacting onlyContinue reading “The Big Trap”

Memories

Today is January 7th, it would have been my father’s 88th anniversary but he crossed the frontier between the worlds four and half years ago. There’s always memories… As we turned away from the dirt road we arrived in a young grown forest. The not so tall trees were giving now room to the sky.Continue reading “Memories”

The Dudes

I could have tried to write a great poem, a ballad of sorts for these guys, but my means are humble. Because I opened a parenthesis in my last post, I felt the surge to open wider on the subject. These guys, the dudes, a term that is too general, but here it refers toContinue reading “The Dudes”

Under The Skies Of Oregon

Most of our adventures start at the Newark Liberty Airport. This is a big hub for travelers around the world and for the main points of operations for United Airlines. Getting there might turn into a nightmare, as every single vehicle on the road seems to be headed in the same direction. Still, we liveContinue reading “Under The Skies Of Oregon”
