Divine in me

beatrizesmer

In my search for the Divine, I traveled far and wide, visiting temples adorned with intricate carvings, churches filled with the sound of hymns, and mosques echoing with the call to prayer. But it was not until I turned my gaze inward, towards the depths of my own being, that I truly found what I was seeking. For in the quiet sanctuary of my heart, I discovered a sacred space untouched by the trappings of religion or the constraints of tradition. Here, in the stillness of my soul, I felt the presence of something greater than myself, a force that … Continue reading Divine in me

Memories of my childhood

beatrizesmer

To remember my childhood is to delve into a treasure trove of emotions, a symphony of sights, smells, and sounds that shaped the very core of who I am today. It is not merely a recollection of events or facts; it is a journey through dreams, fears, and insecurities that still linger in the deepest corners of my soul. I recall the simple joys of playing soccer with my brothers and friends, the familiar scents of my mother’s cooking filling our humble home. The aroma of garlic sizzling in hot oil, the fragrance of flowers in the yard, the misty … Continue reading Memories of my childhood

He asked me what I needed, and I whispered softly, “Peace.” For too long, turmoil has raged within me, a never-ending civil war that has left me weary and worn.

Ocean

beatrizesmer

I will make my bed in the ocean, where the waves caress me like a lover’s touch. It is a demonstration of helplessness, surrendering to the vast expanse of water that surrounds me. I offer my salt as sacrifice, knowing that growth is a daily practice, a journey of self-discovery and transformation. I am learning what it means to be a grain of sand, insignificant yet essential to the beauty of the beach. I spell out homonyms for love, words that hold different meanings but all lead back to the same feeling of connection and warmth. Like a song for … Continue reading Ocean

In complete chaos, when the ground trembled beneath me, I found myself falling, landing unceremoniously on the floor. Yet, there was a strange comfort in that moment of vulnerability, sitting there, unsure of how to rise again. It was a metaphor for love, for life itself. I’m captivated by the simplicity of what’s easy to love, but my heart yearns for the challenge of loving deeply, recklessly. It’s a paradox, the easiest and hardest thing in the world, this act of loving. I embrace it, knowing that with love comes the inevitable pain, the bleeding of the heart that always … Continue reading Chaos of love

With each passing hour, I felt the weight of my memories pressing down upon me, a heavy burden that I could not shake. In the quiet stillness of the night, I found myself stripped bare, my vulnerabilities exposed to the world.
