Our hearts!

Our hearts are the eyes that God has given us to see beyond physical reality. Some peoples' hearts are not yet prepared to understand true love; others are more than prepared. The latter don't just understand true love, but practice it every day; in every opportunity. I ask you guys, what is love to you? Do you listen to your heart? Can you see with your heart and not with your mind? What do you do to keep harmony in your everyday relationships? Have you ever asked yourself these questions?

Some people need hope, but yet others can just find it even in the most unimaginable places. So I have a theory;a very complex one. Lets see if I can explain it thouroughly. First of all, love is not what you see when you come across a good looking person or when someone makes you feel important or when you have just accomodated your life to someone; no, that is not love (wake up call). I am going to talk to you about another type of love; the one that I consider to be the real one. Ok, now just read and then (until the end) ask questions, if any. Ironically, lets start with a question: What can you give to others? Ok, more clearly, do you have anything that would make another person happy? Yes or no? It is a simple question. Do you have something that would help in another person's life? If yes, then you have to give it away; you have to give what you have to a person that needs it. That is true love; and guess what? This is the really interesting part: When you give all you can, in an unselfish mannner, your life is then filled with love; the real love, the type of love that will make you feel happy and strong and powerful. And then, when you keep doing this, I can guarantee you that all the people that fulfill your life will just come closer and closer and CLOSER to you. AND THEN, if you think you need a partner (boyfriend or girlfriend), that person will just manifest in your life (Don't let him or her go); it is like magic. You must create this magic around you and start living a happy and meaninful life. So basically, it is your responsability to attract real love to your life. Do you know if you really want it? Ponder that.

Now, for the broken hearts: Have you ever given everything you can to another person and then still felt that you are not complete and happy? Do you think my theory is not true because you have tried it and it didn't work out? Well, you must add something to my theory: If you are not receiving what you need, even when you are giving away your best, then true love is not able to manifest in that relationship; probably because the other person is not ready. And if you get mad because of this and you keep demanding, then YOU are the one who is not prepared for true love (romantic wise). That is the wake up call for this post. Don't feel sad or angry; it is not going to help you. You have to be the wise person who can understand that love and happiness are not an automatic response but a simple choice. If you had a person by your side and he/she didn't make you feel fulfilled, then it was just because he/she had nothing else left in him/her self to give you; probably he/she lost hope. And where were you when your partner needed you? Do you think you can still give something away to help your relationship? I bet you can. If you are reading this post, I bet you can still give something to restore that relationship into a better one. The question is, do you what to do it? Do you still feel that real love? If you do, then go for it; if you don't, then step aside and go look for some peace. If you have nothing else to give to others then move aside and go fill up yourself so you can have something to give away. Don't be selfish; just give it away and you will find it (love). If someone is not prepared to be happy with you, just let go. They will come back when they are ready (maybe you will still be there or maybe you would have already found happiness and love).

Keep pondering....

Thank you Michael Jackson.

Skies in Tegucigalpa - Magnificent view.

That image, which I believe speaks for itself, was taken today from the skies of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, at around 6:30 p.m. It happened after a day filled with emotional tension due to the troubles that we are experiencing in our Honduran society. My brother told me that he knew someone who said that I was a New Age person. I can only say that what moves me to write about all of this has nothing to do with labels or religions. When ever something new is introduced to our lifes we are inclined to label it so we can identify it. Sometimes people need labels or examples to help them understand a new idea. I can only hope that the readers are able to see beyond their first impressions when they read this blog.

For example, the above picture cannot be labeled into some religious category. It is just what it is. That blue stripe crossed the sky of Tegucigalpa; from that cloud you see to the other end, where you could see a full moon. It was a straight line from the moon to the sun (I'm not sure if that's the sun behind the cloud). It might just be a light effect; you are free to make what you want from it. But indeed it was a marvelous sight. It just happened. It happened today in my country, and for ME it is a sign of hope, of love and of peace. Where does it come from? I do not know; I am not sure. But I felt peace and tranquility when I saw it. Try to give it an explanation and I assure you, your heart will reveal many ideas; most of them amazingly marvelous. And if on top of all your intuition you also add up a little investigation, you can discover a world full of magic, which would be totally different from the one you have been living in.
For example, on one of these pictures that were taken by my little sister who was standing right by my side, there appears what could be a face. Some friends said it was the face of Jesus. Your mind sometimes sees what your heart can make of it. And that face can be seen by those who still have hope and love in their hearts.
This is mystical and magical world we live in. Then again, we must allow that into our lifes.

Peace, tranquility and a genuine feeling of love is what I felt when I saw that image with my very own eyes. And I can assure that my family, who were all with me in that terrace, also felt the same way. I have been the only one in my family to show interest in the topics that I've been writing about in this blog. My family has never been able to understand that; but today they saw with their very own eyes.
God bless those who need not to see with their eyes to believe.
God bless you all, my brothers and sisters.

Michael Jackson - Transparence of a child's soul

Even though Michael Jackson has left us, I have been able to discover more of him during these last days following his departure - his personality, his kindness, his shyness, his mission, his creativity, his will, and sides of him I didn't know before. I had never paid attention to his voice when he was not singing; but since he left us this past Thursday, 25th of June 2009, I have been watching many interviews and one documentary. I discovered he always talked gently and in a very kind way. He was a positive soul; INVINCIBLE, as one of his albums was named. I have been able to know a little bit of who this ICON was. I investigated and this guided me to discover the eternal child that was able to live all the way through Michael Jackson's life. Many of us forget the little things that made us happy when we were kids, and we also forget the true riches that those tiny things represent; fortunately, Michael was not like the many adults who forget who they were when they were small children.

Only the kindness, shyness, humbleness and the good heart of a kid, combined with great talent, give chance for the creation of impressive pieces of art, recognized by the world who is left inspired and astounded. Only such a thing can erase all differences in this world. That was Michael. The kid who was never afraid to dream; but mostly, the kid who never forgot how to dream; the one who believed that everything was possible. That light is always present in the eyes of children when they have just been born in this world.

Being able to keep all those qualities through his entire life (50 years) is what made the world admire and respect him. His Creativity has proven to be inspiring, even after his death. Michael Jackson preached for peace, love, unity and brotherhood among all human beings. Polite, gentle, courageous and with a smile on his face - that's how Michael Jackson can be described.
I have come to realize, isn't that how every kid reacts to the world? How marvelous would it be if we could all see the world through the eyes of children.

"In my heart, I know you are all my brothers." MJ

Take care earthlings.
