I wish I was a poet...

A poet is a very fortunate being, and his fortune enriches many others. A poet finds the secret marvel of a common reality and puts it in words, in ways beyond imagining, to the extent that, from that moment on, nobody sees that in the same way. The natural talent of a poet entails observing everything through the eyes of the spirit and expresses it in words that transcend our reasoning.

I would love having that gift, the talent of talking with words that can caress both the heart and the ear. I want to know how to connect with the essence of life; I want to discover the newness of things always, to contemplate everything like new every time.

At this moment, I wonder what I have learned from this life so far? I may forget many things; however, I am going to try answering this question.

I have learned the great value of friendship.

I have learned to love and to be loved, and in so doing to be happy.

I have learned that existing and living is not the same thing. There are those who have had an existence, and never learned to live.

I have learned to live each and every day being grateful for only being here in this world, which is not a small gift.

I have learned to live out my own dreams; nurturing every day with the hope of being a better being, a better man. Because we human beings are worth not only for whom we are at a give moment, but the foremost for whom we are meant to be.

I have learned to love my parents forever, no matter what, in spite of their shortcomings.

I have learned that the ultimate and most sublime knowledge is called, wisdom, which is learning the art of living.

I have learned that this life is more beautiful as long as you keep your senses awake all of the time, grasping the beauty in all things; enjoying all you do as though it were the first time, the last time, or the only time –even the most insignificant thing.

I have learned that this journey of life has ups and downs; happiness and sorrows; success and failures; wins and losses; and we need a little bit of everything.

I have learned to fight for my friends and people I love, because each and every one of them is a treasure and a blessing bestowed upon me.

I have learned that to love and to serve are two sides of the same coin.

I have learned that you never stop learning.

I have learned that what matters the most is not learning the word of God, rather that putting it into practice.

For all these, and many other things that I omitted. Thank you, Lord, I love you.
