Táctica y estrategia
Mi táctica es
mirarte
aprender como sos
quererte como sos.
Mi táctica es
hablarte
y escucharte
construir con palabras
un puente indestructible.
Mi táctica es
quedarme en tu recuerdo
no sé cómo ni sé
con qué pretexto
pero quedarme en vos.
Mi táctica es
ser franco
y saber que sos franca
y que no nos vendamos
simulacros
para que entre los dos
no haya telón
ni abismos.
Mi estrategia es
en cambio
más profunda y más
simple.
Mi estrategia es
que un día cualquiera
no sé cómo ni sé
con qué pretexto
por fin me necesites.
Mario Benedetti
Metaphors
I like how a good metaphor establishes a relationship at once and leaves its meaning to the imagination. how it sets two unlike things side by side and makes us see the likeness between them.

you beutifull smile
spreads across your face

Metaphors - Scene From Il Postino
knowing and not knowing
do you know what you know?
and will you know you'll never know
that you dont know?
Fable of the Mermaids and the Drunks
when she came in totally naked.
They had been drinking: they began to spit.
Newly come from the river, she knew nothing.
She was a mermaid who had lost her way.
The insults flowed down her gleaming flesh.
Obscenities drowned her golden breasts.
Not knowing tears, she did not weep tears.
Not knowing clothes, she did not have clothes.
They blackened her with burnt corks and cigarette stubs,
and rolled around laughing on the tavern floor.
She did not speak because she had no speech.
Her eyes were the colour of distant love,
her twin arms were made of white topaz.
Her lips moved, silent, in a coral light,
and suddenly she went out by that door.
Entering the river she was cleaned,
shining like a white stone in the rain,
and without looking back she swam again
swam towards emptiness, swam towards death.
Poem by Pablo Neruda
The Slavery of Wealth
Don't worry be Happy
death is not here
and when it does come
we no longer exist
Epicurus on Happiness 2 of 3 (9:51)
Epicurus on Happiness 3 of 3 (4:08)
and when it does come
we no longer exist

Measure of all Things
Man is the measure of all things
Things that are what they are
Things that are not what they are not
Things that are what they are
Things that are not what they are not
Protagoras - Greek Philosopher, 490– 420 BC
Know Thyself
inner self
hidden mystery in the obvious
earnest insights
many questions many answers nothing clear
doubt on doubt
each question gets an answer
and disappears
