The art of encounter …

beatrizesmer

Have you ever paused to ponder the paths we cross before we finally meet the ones we are meant to love or learn from? The idea of fate may not always sit well with us, but there is a certain intrigue in the notion that some people are destined to be a part of our lives. Perhaps we have brushed shoulders with them on a crowded street or shared a fleeting glance in a bustling café. Maybe we have stood beside them in a concert crowd or passed them on a winding mountain trail. These chance encounters may seem insignificant … Continue reading The art of encounter …

Right now, dear …

beatrizesmer

Right now is a miracle, a precious gift bestowed upon us by the universe. It is the only moment that is guaranteed, the only moment that truly matters. It is life, unfolding before us in all its beauty and complexity. So why do we spend so much time dwelling on the past or dreaming of the future? Why do we let our minds wander to places that do not exist, while the present moment slips away? We must learn to be in the ‘here and now’, to experience life as it is happening. To appreciate the world for the beauty … Continue reading Right now, dear …

A giant soul

beatrizesmer

During the tumultuous days of World War II, a young Japanese boy stood before a funeral pyre, his heart heavy with grief and his mind consumed with the weight of loss. He waited patiently for his turn to cremate his younger brother; his eyes fixed on the flames that danced before him. As the boy stood there, lost in his own thoughts, a guard approached him and asked for the body. The boy, his voice barely above a whisper, replied: “He is not heavy, he is my brother.” It was a simple statement, yet one that spoke volumes about the … Continue reading A giant soul

Her silence

beatrizesmer

Suspicious and uncomfortable in the silence, she sought refuge in the cacophony of her own thoughts. The voices inside her, relentless and unyielding, offered explanations and insights, yet failed to provide the solace she craved. The silence, pregnant with the weight of unspoken truths, was a source of anguish, for within it lay the echoes of her own unspoken fears and insecurities. To listen to the silence was to confront the unspoken parts of herself, the familiar ugliness and the unexpected virtues that had long been buried beneath the surface. These were facets of herself she had long sought to … Continue reading Her silence

Places I’ve been and people I’ve met have taught me love speaks all languages, the real kind of love …

Within the fabric of my voyage, I have wandered through lands unknown and crossed paths with souls as diverse as the colors of the sky at dawn. Each place I’ve been and every person I’ve met has been a testament to the universal language of love, a symphony that transcends barriers of tongue and culture. In the bustling streets of foreign cities, I have felt the warmth of a stranger’s smile, a silent yet profound expression of human connection. In the quiet corners of ancient villages, I have witnessed acts of kindness that spoke volumes without a single word. Love, … Continue reading Places I’ve been and people I’ve met have taught me love speaks all languages, the real kind of love …

Courage

Fear was like always dreaming of abysses, a constant presence lurking in the shadows of her mind. But in her dreams, she found a strange kind of bravery, a courage that only emerged when she closed her eyes. On the edge of herself, she saw a fearless young woman, falling into the uncertainties that plagued her waking hours. In the stillness of the night, she hurled herself into the abysses that called out to her, grappling with the truths that seemed just out of reach. But when morning came, she was forced to confront the harsh realities of daily life, … Continue reading Courage

Freedom

beatrizesmer

The fear of being free, a paradoxical notion that lingers in the depths of our consciousness. It breeds pride in the comfort of enslavement, a safety in the familiar shadows of the cave. We have grown accustomed to the chains that bind us, finding solace in the certainty of our confinement. But as time passes, the facade begins to crumble, and the falsehood of our surroundings becomes painfully clear. We yearn to break free, to run, to soar into the boundless sky of liberty. Yet, the chains that hold us are not made of iron but of our own minds, … Continue reading Freedom

Do not blame me …

beatrizesmer

Do not blame me for my lack of rhyme, for my verses flow freely like a meandering river, unpredictable and wild. I am but a silly poet, a novice in the art of weaving words into perfect harmony. My lines may be obtuse, crooked, and unrefined, but they carry the weight of my emotions, untamed and unapologetic. I wander among the realms of mental songs and poems, my passion burning like a fierce flame in the depths of my being. My love is restless, constant, and unyielding, like a thunderstorm raging inside me. It cannot be contained or silenced, it … Continue reading Do not blame me …
