Ephemeral Eternity
My daughter asks, "What does the tooth fairy with so many teeth?".
"This, along with how they built the pyramids, are the two great mysteries of the universe," I say.
is studied carefully in the mirror fascinated by the inflamed gingiva hole left in the place where once there was a pallet. Today, Sunday, will have his second ballet recital at the Aula Magna of the UTFSM. It will be a kitten. A kitten with a missing tooth.
On Tuesday, when I had to pick at his academy, I did evil. I arrived five minutes earlier. I hid behind a small door opening to spy rehearsing their steps. Inside, the teacher shouted instructions: On Sunday, if they drop the Colet, did they pick? "No!" answered 10 beautiful kittens. And if they drop a button? "No." If they fall line? "No."
For a moment I forgot the corruption case, internal elections of political parties, the CEP poll numbers, elevators rusting rails. For a moment I was happy.
Oh, happiness. This ephemeral eternity. Today, in major American universities, you can study anything, from a Marxist deconstruction of the song "Like a Virgin" to "how to make more money using Facebook and Twitter", through "whether or not a gene bisexuality in crustaceans. " But there is neither a degree nor a master's joy. Just listen to a couple of minutes our political debate to know what little is known of the latter.
In an interview 1981, a reporter asked Bob Dylan what motivated him to continue to reinvent itself over and over again: "You do not need no fame or money. Artistically, there is nothing to get you, then you have dozens of songs immortal.'ve Earned your place in history. Why do not you rest and enjoy what you have done? ".
Dylan replied: "There are whole industries devoted to sick, to perpetuate our disease. Permeates the film, television, advertising, entertainment, signs on the road. If I did not think my music could help someone be happy, would not be singing.'d be sailing in a boat, or walking through the woods. "
speaking leadership, be a happy person has many benefits. "People do not follow us by what we say," Sun Tzu said, "People follow us as we are." In the East they call this "The law of reversed effort." The more desperately looking for something, the more we move away from it.
One of the great secrets of the mystic that he was at Valparaiso from 1998-2003 was just that. For a moment, the locals forget their sorrows. They stopped being victims. Reenamoraron is your city. Rediscovered the joy of being Buenos Aires. The rest came alone.
For one day, forgive me if I do not speak or unemployment, or Port Market, or stray dogs. Today I go to the ballet. A dance masters.
