El sol hoy me saluda en tu día,
con mi sonrisa dibujo tu rostro.
Los rayos de la mañana juegan con mi mirada
Dentro de mi horizonte escucho tu nombre,
Y este corazón que tengo para ti,
escribe una carta de memoria .
Mi sentimiento levanta esta luz de vela
Acaricio tu pelo dentro de mi y te siento distante
Dejo ir la ultima lagrima sosteniendo tu mano
Este libro se va al viento,
al tiempo de los recuerdos.
Y hoy doy otro paso mas, cerca de mi, aquí.
Veo este nido donde te vi nacer, cierro tus ojos
Parte de mi se queda enterrada en esta oración
Mis alas vuelven a retomar el vuelo
Las fuerzas de tu nombre guían mi camino
Un largo sendero, una puerta al cielo, un destino.
Bajo el canto de los arboles y la sinfonía de los pájaros
Siento la caricia de la brisa y veo al cielo
El rayo del sol acaricia mi pelo
Mi sonrisa dibuja un arcoíris
La voz del cielo me dice que todo estará bien.
En mis sueños me despido de tu barco velero
Despierto y vuelvo a caminar, a seguir… vivir.
La paz interna que guía mi felicidad,
Una fuerza de energía que se llama tu… yo.

"that is what Wisdom wants us to be. Wisdom is a woman, and loves only a warrior.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
That Friedrich - he's not afraid to say what he really thinks.. and people love him.
Maybe that''s because he mostly talks about women and love, and he does it in no uncertain terms. Women love that in a man. They want him to be strong, and confident, and sure of himself.. Until he starts trying to tell them what to do.. Then some will protest that he is being 'overbearing and opinionated'.. They have been taught that no man is their master, and to resist any attempt by a man to assert any power over her..
The trouble is, they are fighting hundreds of thousands of years of evolution.. theirs and his.. A real man wants a woman who can hold her own - in a conversation, in bed, and in life.. They want intelligence and wisdom and kindness.. And a sense of humor is critical.. After all, they will be raising their children, and sharing their lives..
And a real woman wants very much the same thing in a man. and for the same reasons. But when it comes right down to it, she really wants him to take the lead - to be unafraid and to protect her as the last bastion between her, the children, and the world - and if need be - to take the arrows..
Friedrich's quote is speaking about wisdom, and about wisdom wanting us to speak the truth plainly. The way he puts it, wisdom wants us to speak the truth the way Conan the Barbarian lived his life.. Courageous, untroubled by doubt or 'complexity' - mocking and violent to those who would sow doubt and lies...
We should all - men and women - be such warriors...

This is a modest hommage to the courageous people of Fukushima prefecture. They survived a triple disaster in 2011 and are now, nine years later, still fighting with the consequences. I wish them well in their strugle for their beautiful province and thank them for their kindness during this trip.
Fukushima is the third largest prefecture in Japan (14,000 km²), and one of its least densely populated. The prefecture is divided into three main regions: Aizu in the west, Naka dori in the centre and Hama dori in the east. Aizu is mountainous with snowy winters, while the climate in Hama dori is moderated by the Pacific Ocean.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi (About this soundpronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko) was a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Ōkuma, Fukushima Prefecture. The disaster was the most severe nuclear accident since the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the only other disaster to be given the Level 7 event classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale.
The accident was started by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.] On detecting the earthquake, the active reactors automatically shut down their fission reactions. Because of the reactor trips and other grid problems, the electricity supply failed, and the reactors' emergency diesel generators automatically started. Critically, they were powering the pumps that circulated coolant through the reactors' cores to remove decay heat, which continues after fission has ceased. The earthquake generated a 14-meter-high tsunami that swept over the plant's seawall and flooded the plant's lower grounds around the Units 1–4 reactor buildings with sea water, filling the basements and knocking out the emergency generators. The resultant loss-of-coolant accidents led to three nuclear meltdowns, three hydrogen explosions, and the release of radioactive contamination in Units 1, 2 and 3 between 12 and 15 March. The spent fuel pool of previously shut-down Reactor 4 increased in temperature on 15 March due to decay heat from newly added spent fuel rods, but did not boil down sufficiently to expose the fuel.
In the days after the accident, radiation released to the atmosphere forced the government to declare an ever larger evacuation zone around the plant, culminating in an evacuation zone with a 20-kilometer radius. All told, some 154,000 residents evacuated from the communities surrounding the plant due to the rising off-site levels of ambient ionizing radiation caused by airborne radioactive contamination from the damaged reactors.
Large amounts of water contaminated with radioactive isotopes were released into the Pacific Ocean during and after the disaster. Michio Aoyama, a professor of radioisotope geoscience at the Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, has estimated that 18,000 terabecquerel (TBq) of radioactive caesium 137 were released into the Pacific during the accident, and in 2013, 30 gigabecquerel (GBq) of caesium 137 were still flowing into the ocean every day. The plant's operator has since built new walls along the coast and also created a 1.5-kilometer-long "ice wall" of frozen earth to stop the flow of contaminated water.
While there has been ongoing controversy over the health effects of the disaster, a 2014 report by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) and World Health Organization projected no increase in miscarriages, stillbirths or physical and mental disorders in babies born after the accident. An ongoing intensive cleanup program to both decontaminate affected areas and decommission the plant will take 30 to 40 years, plant management estimate.
On 5 July 2012, the National Diet of Japan Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) found that the causes of the accident had been foreseeable, and that the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), had failed to meet basic safety requirements such as risk assessment, preparing for containing collateral damage, and developing evacuation plans. At a meeting in Vienna three months after the disaster, the International Atomic Energy Agency faulted lax oversight by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, saying the ministry faced an inherent conflict of interest as the government agency in charge of both regulating and promoting the nuclear power industry. On 12 October 2012, TEPCO admitted for the first time that it had failed to take necessary measures for fear of inviting lawsuits or protests against its nuclear plants.
