What is under the sea? Qué hay debajo del mar?

Image
It’s been a month here in front of the ocean taking some time to feed my soul. Nature is so magical, so healing, so powerful. She re-constructs, cleans, and rejuvenates in such a magical way….. Now I return to the NYC… To work , to speak , to write from another point of view, to be in my home and from there take new action . “Before I go, I take in the ocean and the sand.  I try to find out how I can keep that with me, and integrate it in my NYC home. I must BE Present, I must BE FULLY; I must be complete and open to give the best of me. And if I fail, forget or doubt the memory of the ocean and the peace I felt here, I will be find it again in any ounce of water or human life around me and it will manifest again…  I look into the sea. While I seek guidance, I realize that under the sea there are SO MANY LAYERS, and such DEPTH that we may never understand.  This water that now surrounds me -as my body enters it and I allow its temperature to change my own- it is...

Lost: a conversation with my soul!

I should write this in Spanish? NO, I should write this in English... ummm, I should write this in every possible language and  then  write it on my skin. Because   in truth I do not know what my  role ,  duty,   or  want is anymore...

We lost the way to HUMANITY because we had our eyes blinded by power and ambition.  I have lost so much time… so many times... in so little time… ACTION IS REQUIRED. Holding hands, aiming to see eye to eye, respecting each other and valuing the natural world, the “thing” we should treasure most.  In the present time,...

ENTRE LA FAMILIA Y EL SOFRITO

Denisse Ambert y Luis Salgado DD Salgo a caminar y se que este rumbo me llevará lejos... o tal vez cerca.  La verdad es incierta... Dejo lo que ahora es mi casa (NY) y llevo conmigo a mi familia, camino a lo que es mi PATRIA (Puerto Rico). Los últimos años, La Bella isla del encanto -lugar donde nací- se ha visto afectada por muchas realidades. La política, los huracanes, los temblores y entre otra cosas, la pandemia que impacta al mundo entero. Esta realidad que hoy nos viste, causa tanto impacto y a la vez nos lleva de la mano a tantas cosas nuevas, o quien sabe, no tan nuevas… Porque quien sabe a qué llamamos (o llamo) nuevo hoy. A veces es simplemente el regreso a lo cercano, un re-encuentro con la raíz de nuestro ser. Un re-encuentro obligatorio con lo que necesitamos recordar, aprender, o limpiar dentro de nosotros mismos. Confrontar las verdades internas, los miedos, la capacidad que tenemos de atrevernos a más.  En los...
