Welcome Twenty-Forteen's NYRs !!!

Our Nochevieja dinner had a lengthy conversation about our wishes for 2014 (from the "5-wish wish" to the "ending poverty wish"...some of those wishes gave birth to our NYRs...that conversation was helped by the sequence of Wonder Palacio in Youtube with the trailer, the interview, Natalie Merchant's video (Wonder) and lyrics (songsmeanings)...


For the record, the NYRs are:

Sofia's:
1) Learn to speak French
2) Learn to play Violin
3) Not to waste time when doing homework

Antonio's:



Aggeliki's:



Armando's:
1) To help PAs to better use their time for cultivating (...like a flourishing Naranjo) their bodies, minds, and souls. The mandatory presentations, limits to entertainment-watching and yoga-time lead the effort
2) To help ourselves to talk much nicer and breathe slower
3) One morning exercise, one morning kriya

Adieu 2013 @ Las Terrenas

We went to Las Terrenas to say goodbye to 2013. The "Frenchest" part of DR welcomed us again with its perfect whether, perfect beach, perfect hotel Colibri, perfect Rummicube games, perfect light cuisine, perfect hole in the sand, perfect breakfast at the beach (perfect snorkeling was off this time), perfect starry nights, perfect long walk on the beach, perfect chocolate, perfect jokes, perfect boat navigation...

SEE / THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX ( / CAGE / CAVE)...

Hola Pichones,

Yesterday's dinner got an interesting guest, Mr Camilo Venegas, who told us about the importance of recovering our capacity for Sense of Wonder (Capacidad de Asombro)

Flavour his article every now and then...
Estilos-Como Si Fuera Sabado-Regalate una Gran Capacidad de Asombro

...so, what are you making you to say "Wow, Que Maravilla!" today???

We followed up in our breakfast, with another way to be able to see/think outside of the CAGE: by expanding your CULTURE!

That would allow you to taste the RICH heritage of your race (the Human race, I mean), so you don't lose the "flavor" that can make your life valuable/memorable, no matter from where, from whom, from when that "flavor" comes from. Your culture will allow you to break those barriers and get to the right source of "flavor".

If you taste your race's full heritage, you will NOT think like a lamb. No way. You will think by yourself. And ONLY the people that think differently are the ones that change the world...

...so, what is the next song you will share with your classmates???

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PA!!!

Coloca esto mientras lees...

Hace 12 añitos me hiciste el hombre MAS FELIZ del MUNDO!! 

(la mujer mas feliz era Mama...). 

Llegaste esa madrugada tan llenita de paz...haciendo honor a tu nombre. 

Disfrutando en mi flauta la melodia que tantas veces oiste en la panza de mama. Esa misma flauta que ahora tocas. Ya todo eso de por si, un milagro. 

Deseo con todo mi corazon que sigas dando tu NMW100 para crecer SANA (de cuerpo, de mente y sobretodo de espiritu), y lleves asi una vida maravillosa todos y cada uno de sus dias...y que cuando estes en tu "deathbed, many years from now", no pares de sonreir al recordarla, con una sonrisa que rebosará de dicha a tu rostro, como cuando el sol rebosa de luz al horizonte en el amanecer...

Te Amo con Todas mis Fuerzas, Mas que a Mi mismo 

(y mira que eso es muchisimo!!!!)

Healthy Spirit ???

In our life we give our NMW 100 to have a Healthy Mind, Healthy Body and Healthy Spirit. That's it. End of the story.

How do we recognize a spirit that is sick instead of healthy? Sometimes comparisons help us to see more clear:

NMW 100

NO MATTER WHAT 100%

Nature provides us with Life Lessons. We just need to keep our eyes and minds open. Let's celebrate the elephant in ourselves that No Matter What gives to life his/her 100%...
It's the most important of Life's Lessons. Don't ever forget it. No Matter What.
I love you both.

STRONG OR WEEK???

there are two wonderful examples of our past chat on "Maceterito or Campooote"

one, representing being Strong or Healthy, is from our friend Sugatra Mitra:

the other one represents being Week (i.e., Weak or Sick), another way of living:

...and by the way, one of the keys to be Strong? Grit!!
