About me

My photo
I am creative, methodical, persistent, passive and a little neurotic. Drawing, reading randomly and floating into the sea are the best things I'm able to do. I've got here some drawings I've done. There are also poems I've read. I like coming here to read them again, just in case their meaning have changed.

Leaves of grass

Stop this day and night with me
and you shall possess the origin of all poems,
You shall possess the good of the earth and sun....
there are millions of suns left,
You shall no longer take things at second or third hand....
nor look through the eyes of the dead....
nor feed on the spectres in books,
You shall not look through my eyes either,
nor take things from me,
You shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself.

Walt Whitman

quédate hoy conmigo,
Vive conmigo  un día y una noche
Y poseerás el origen de todos los poemas,
Poseerás  lo bueno de la tierra y el sol... 
Aún quedan millones de soles,
 nada tomarás ya de segunda o tercera  mano... 
Ni mirarás por los ojos de los muertos, 
Ni te nutrirás con el espectro de los libros. 
Tampoco contemplarás el mundo con mis ojos. 
Ni tomarás las cosas de mis manos. 
Aprenderás a escuchar en todas direcciones. 
Y las filtrarás por ti mismo. 

Walt Whitman
