It's a Go

This time, she has to be brave

she has to put on her big girl underwear 

and go forward 

With out knowing what will happen 

she's going to do it

Have that inevitable talk 

"what are we?"

She shakes in her leggings 

unsure of what to expect 

and yet hopeful at the same time 

She's going to go for it

before she can turn around 

she presses the green button on her phone 

and says "hey...I'm here..."

waiting patiently at the door...

A little awkward...

Their relationship was one she could not understand

When it began, she was slightly confused but just as giddy 

She enjoyed the late night talks and midnight smooches 

Then it all changed 

The phone calls stopped and so did the texts

It's like their relationship took a month hiatus 

To be resumed...because it did pick up again 

Just on a different note 

Things weren't the same 

But his words still held their charm 

She was confused as ever and didn't know where to stand 

Or what to do 

So at times she walked in doubt 

Not sure of what to do 

And if she should call

Should she send him a text ?

What if he doesn't answer?

What if he takes too long?

Should she just press send?

De Regreso al Caribe

De regreso al caribe 

El mismísimo caribe de José Martí 

Allí donde crecen las palmas 

Las del Guantanamera de Orbon 

Donde hay un oleaje de felicidad 

que se siente día a día 

en las sonrisas de sus habitantes 

en el ritmo de esa música que resuena en las calles

en la salida del sol tras una lluvia pasajera 

Ese es mi lugar

donde duerme y despierta 

mi corazón, mi mente y aveces mi cuerpo 

Ese lugar en el que sus nativos anhelan regresar 

y los visitantes se desean quedar

al ritmo de "guajira guantanamera"

Where

She didn't have an answer when he asked "what did I do wrong?" 

He just wasn't the one 

And that's what wasn't right 

She couldn't go on pretending 

But when her turn came, 

She felt like asking the same question

"what did I do wrong?"

Of course she wouldn't bring it up to him 

She understood that when messages weren't returned

It meant there was nothing there

She herself had done it so many times before

But then why did it hurt so much?

Because this time, she let herself have feelings 

Ones she didn't know were possible 

Does she regret having them?

Not at all

But she still wonders "what did I do wrong"

So as not to do it again 

And let her heart mend...

Baila

Yo quisiera saber, de cuando acá 

bailando bachata en la discoteca 

se convirtió en Mira Quien Baila

Santísimo!!! ni cuanta vuelta

uh uh, a mi no me cae eso para nada

Yo que no se bailar 

será que me quería emborrachar 

girando tanto 

Pa'l colmo le digo que no me de vuelta 

y sigue con el can 

con mas gusto de por si 

¿Que ha pasado con esos pasos de aprendiz?

Journey

It's what you feel-not the description written out on paper 

that will determine who you will be in life and what you will contribute

Sure, some will take a bit longer to figure things out

but they'll get there

surely they will 

and when they do, it will all be a journey 

the one that lead them to the path 

where they were meant to be...

La Situación Esta Difícil

Resulta que en el área metropolitana de Nueva York, Nueva Jersey y Connecticut, 

el impacto de las ráfagas de viento, árboles caídos y falta de electricidad 

han dejado una huella inolvidable 

A pesar de las pérdidas lamentables, la falta de gasolina en el área nos afecta aun 

Sin gasolina, las plantas eléctricas no pueden prender para sostener lugares y dar calefacción  

Sin gasolina, los automóviles se limitan al poder llevar a sus dueños al trabajo para que el movimiento de la normalidad continúe 

Sin gasolina, los parientes de ciertos oficios se limitan con el transporte de necesidades

Los alimentos y las donaciones de ropa se atrasan un poco por que no hay, o mejor dicho-no sabemos de otra manera para movernos

En estos tiempos de tecnología dependemos de todo un poco y cuando se cae tan solo un domino, todos sentimos el efecto 

Pero esto no es fin de mundo ni tampoco una depresión, tan solo es una prueba a ver que tan hábil y creativo somos.

Con fe, hermandad y mucha creatividad
