Este es el Sol
Este es el brote que crece de la semilla y se oriente al Sol...
Esta es la semilla que viene del arbol y cae en la caca
que cayo al suelo a los pies de la zorra
que callada achecha a la incauta serpiente
que abre su boca y caza la iguana
que lanza su lengue y apresa a la arana
que teje su tela para atrapar al bicho
que se sienta en la hoja y come la flor
que epieza a brotar creciendo en el arbol
que hace su comida con la luz del Sol.
noteshis is the sprout that grows from the seed and faces the sun...
This is the seed that comes from the tree and falls into the poop
that fell to the ground at the feet of the fox
that silently stalks the unsuspecting snake
that opens its mouth and hunts the iguana
that darts its tongue and catches the spider
that spins its web to catch the bug
that sits on the leaf and eats the flower
that begins to sprout, growing on the tree
that makes its food with the light of the Sun.

»Porque no vivo ni en mi pasado ni en mi futuro. Tengo sólo el presente, y eso es lo único que me interesa. Si puedes permanecer siempre en el presente serás un hombre feliz. Percibirás que en el desiert...
1 "I'm alive," he said to the boy while he ate a plate of dates on the night without bonfires or moon. While I'm eating, I don't do anything but eat. If I were walking, I would just walk. If I have to fight, it will be as good a day to die as any.
»Because I do not live in my past or in my future. I only have the present, and that is the only thing that interests me. If you can always stay in the present you will be a happy man. You will perceive that life exists in the desert, that the sky has stars, and that warriors fight because this is partof the human race. Life will be a party, a great festival, because it is only the moment we are living.
