LIVING WALK DEATH
Long way is to live, that certainly we travel blind knowledge about the route.
We ask God to enlighten us but we know nothing of tomorrow, if live will follow
the path of life or blind walk towards “Who” is awaiting for us to bring sooner rather
than later, to an eternal rest.
I do not Know if I go
I do not know if I come
I do not know where I’ll go
I do not know even where am I
I just know
I am walking
I wonder Where to?
one day and one more ever nonstop
I will stop when
no more strength to follow
Navigating the roads I will not be
Without ever Knowing if coming or going, not where I am.

VIVIR ANDAR MORIR
Largo camino es el vivir, que sin duda recorremos ciegos de conocimiento sobre la ruta a seguir.
Pedimos que Dios nos ilumine, pero nada sabemos del mañana, si vivos seguiremos el camino de la vida o ciegos caminaremos hacia “Quien” nos espera, para llevarnos mas pronto que tarde, hacia un descanso eterno.
No se si voy
No se si vengo
No se a donde voy
No se tan siquiera en donde estoy
Solo se que
Caminando voy
¿Hacia donde? me pregunto
Un día y otro mas nunca sin parar estoy
Cesaré cuando
Sin fuerzas para ya mas
Recorrer los caminos no estaré
Si voy o vengo nunca sabre, tampoco donde estoy.

for all of you dear blog´s friends.

Dan Quote
Tania, it is really beautiful, that, your collection of Quotes
that give us so much to think about “the words power”, one of
the first powers humanity have.
Some time to use them wisely or devilishly, giving peace or
disturb, self confort or by the the contrary grief.
Tell me the truth, I can´t believe Emiliano´s Quote was written
by him,I have not memory of that.
Jeff, I think the same as Tania 24th september the most
important day in your life, thanks to your mother and father
an God of course.
Yes, I don´t write because I want to say something, I write because
I have something to say, (deep inside me).
Thanks: S.F. / M. Streep / Toni / Dan
Tania and Jeff to give us the opportunity of saying it.
emiliano
Hi Tania, my beloved Cuca use to do just the same like you.
She liked to write sentences she thought were good as for
her taste.
Now that she can´t write them, ask me to write them for her,
but usually she ask me few because she doesn´t want to
disturb me asking so many things, as for her criterial, not
for mine.
I would like her asking more things but she has been always
a prudent person, now being so she is even more.
So yes, Tania, you and Cuca have something similar very
important along your life, writing words and sentences
you like from a book or said for some wise people.
I have just told Cuca about your posts, and she said
“what nice, Tania doing the same I did”
She is at my side, playing with her pc., reading something
on it, or just watching a movie in the screen. If she has
some trouble with the p.c. she remains quiet thinking on telling me
the problems she has or not. Several times I see her with such
quietness and ask her, which is the problem my dear?, in Spanish
“que ocurre cielo mio?, after that she told me about the pc. problems.
Yes, Cuca is so, she never wants to disturb anybody and ask for the
less she could.
Thank you Tania, I have somthing to say after reading you that´s the
reason I am writing.
emiliano
Hi, Emiliano! Yes, it’s one of your wonderful poems written by you to Jeff.
Thank you, dear Emiliano.
Greetings to our dear Cuca!
Hello to everyone!
Sorry I have been absent from this blog for a while. I haven’t been writing, but I have been reading.
Thank you all – our teachers Jeff, Lucy and Warren,and alll learners writers here for providing me the essential nutrients that keep my brain and body going.
Dan please don’t have guilty thought. It is unhealthy.
Listen to Emiliano, he understands Betty will never stop writing because of what is written by everyone here.
Yours and most posts appear here have always tried to be good. They are good, positive, not to harm anyone.
I have been extremely busy preparing some exams. That’s why I don’t have enough time to write here. Like Peter, Emiliano, and Tania, I’ll write whenever I can.
Even when I don’t have something to say, I’ll keep writing. Language skills are like the boat going up the stream, if it doesn’t go upward, It goes backward, it won’t remain at the same place.
So if I don’t write in English as much as possible, it’ll be impossible to write when required.
Peter your writing remains so attractive. Reading your post is something very pleasant. There are always interesting stories worth writing and worth reading. Please do write more when you can.
Now let me join Tania and Emiliano in wishing Jeff a very happy time staying in the beautiful hotel that he tells us in ESL Podcast 1034 – Making Changes to a Hotel Reservation.
Dear Jeff, Have a great time celebrating your BIRTHDAY tomorrow 24th September!
Best Regards
Betty 🙂
