The Language of Feeling

beatrizesmer

In the mess of my heart, where words often fail to reach, I find a language unspoken, a dialect of emotions, raw and pure. It is not bound by the shackles of syntax, nor does it dance to the tunes of grammar. It is a language of feeling, of understanding, of empathy. “I am not a scholar of words,” I confess, “I am not that smart.” Yet, in my simplicity, I possess a wisdom that eludes many. I navigate the world not by the compass of intellect, but by the beacon of emotion. I read not the words that dance … Continue reading The Language of Feeling

The Beautiful Paradox

beatrizesmer

There exists a thread, both robust and delicate, weaving its way through the intricate design of life. This thread, a paradox in its own right, is the embodiment of a strong spirit and a gentle heart. A strong spirit, like a towering oak, stands resolute against the tempests of life. It is the flame that flickers persistently, refusing to be extinguished by the gusts of hardship. It is the mountain peak that remains unyielding, steadfastly reaching for the heavens, undeterred by the harshest winters. The spirit, fortified by trials and tribulations, becomes a beacon of hope, illuminating the path for … Continue reading The Beautiful Paradox

The Architecture of Emotions

beatrizesmer

In the vast expanse of our being, feelings find their homes, carving out spaces within us, as my mother once wisely noted. Each emotion, a tenant, occupies a unique room, shaping our internal architecture with its distinct presence. Sadness, a solitary figure, dwells in the distant quarters of our heart, creating a chasm between us and the rest. It places others on the far side of the house, their laughter and joy muffled by the thick walls of melancholy. Fear, a skittish creature, always seeks refuge under the table, its trembling form hidden from view. It cowers in the shadows, … Continue reading The Architecture of Emotions

Wisdom and Awareness: A Conversation

beatrizesmer

He looked at me, his eyes filled with a yearning for understanding, and said, “Show me how.” I tilted my head, a soft smile playing on my lips, “Show you what?” His voice was but a whisper, “The wisdom, the awareness, the ability to see the whole picture without words… those blissful eyes of yours, always in awe, always in love, quick to smile. You’ve got problems too, but how?” I paused, my gaze drifting to the horizon as I pondered his words. Then, with a gentle sigh, I turned back to him, “I don’t think I can show you, … Continue reading Wisdom and Awareness: A Conversation

Forgiveness and a Peaceful Heart

beatrizesmer

How do I forgive my father? Perhaps it happens in the quiet solitude of a dream. Do I forgive him for the times he was absent, too often, or even forever, when I was just a child? Maybe it’s for the times his anger took me by surprise, or for the unsettling calm when anger was nowhere to be found. Do I forgive him for choosing to marry, or not to marry my mother? Or for deciding to sever their union, or for letting it persist in its imperfect state? And should I absolve him for his extremes of affection … Continue reading Forgiveness and a Peaceful Heart

A Love from Afar

beatrizesmer

I am a love that hails from distant lands, where the seeds of nostalgia are sown and bloom in the heart’s fertile soil. I am a love that is both unsteady and inconsolable, a tempest of emotions, clothed in the dual attire of anxiety and joy. I am a paradox, a love that is seldom yet common, a love that is a dreamer yet grounded in truth. I am the sun, radiant and warm, and the palm, steadfast and enduring. I am a love that is always reliable, always legitimate, a beacon of constancy in the ever-changing tides of life. … Continue reading A Love from Afar

Sacred Whispers: The Cycle of Desire

beatrizesmer

In the sacred silence of our union, I become an acolyte of your essence, flesh of your flesh, in a rite as ancient as time itself. Let this communion be our sacrament, where I partake of you wholly, a feast not of the body but of the spirit that dances within. Your lips, trembling with the tender rhythm of life, move in perfect harmony with the pulsations of your heart—a heart that beats to the drum of your soul’s deepest yearnings. Together, we are both vessel and void, our bodies whispering the ancient liturgy of longing, speaking the language of … Continue reading Sacred Whispers: The Cycle of Desire

The Language of Souls

beatrizesmer

Do not cast me into the shadows of ordinariness, nor chide me for the absence of it. When my words form the declaration of love, let your gaze meet mine, for in that exchange, the language of souls transcends the spoken. Listen, not with ears but with the heart, when I dare to ask for your affection in return. It is in these moments that the bridge between two spirits is built, and my soul reaches out for yours. I am not a closed book but an open page, fluttering in the winds of vulnerability. Do not mistake my openness … Continue reading The Language of Souls

Compassion

beatrizesmer

It is a simple refrain, echoing in the void: “Not my child, not my community, not my world, not my concern.” Yet, amidst the chorus of detachment, there emerge the silent sentinels of compassion. They who perceive the unspoken pleas, who understand that the cry of one is the cry of all. In their hearts is etched the indelible truth that we are but custodians of a collective future. These guardians of humanity stride forth, undaunted by the magnitude of the task. For them, there is no other, no stranger, no foreign soul. There is only ‘us’—a singular pulse in … Continue reading Compassion

Echoes of the Cosmos

beatrizesmer

Be here with me. Lay with me and let me rest my head down on your chest. The warmth of your skin cradles my cheek, and I feel the steady rhythm of your heart—a unique dull thudding that resonates through the fabric of existence. In this intimate embrace, time dissolves. We are suspended in a moment, a fragile thread connecting us to the vastness beyond. Your heartbeat, once solitary, now echoes across the cosmos. It reverberates through galaxies, dances with distant stars, and weaves constellations into existence. The whole Universe converges in this single, magnificent sound—the pulse of life, the … Continue reading Echoes of the Cosmos
