no decia mucho, pero si decia algo importante....
"aprieta fuerte esta hoja, y mirala despues....sabràs como estoy.."
atentamente : el corazòn.
la apretè con tanta fuerza que la rompì....
ahora ya sè... lo que mi corazòn sentìa.

A Dream
A poem by Edgar Allan Poe
In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed--
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.
Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream--that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam,
A lonely spirit guiding.
What though that light, thro' storm and night,
So trembled from afar--
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth's day star?

"Everything changed the day she figured out there was exactly enough time for the important things in her life."-Story People
I often get bogged down and stressed by the day to day: work, home, dinner, dishes, cleaning, bedtime, sleep, repeat. I am anxious because there never seems to be enough time in the day to get *everything* done that needs doing. But that stuff? It is so not important, really. Spending time with Owen on a Saturday afternoon, blowing the first bubbles of Spring, and seeing that precious smile? That is the important stuff, and there is plenty of time for it. All the other crap? It can wait.
