Augury

With my hopes for the rebirth of our world, America, and New York City.





The evening golden lights

(An anniversary of promises and surrenders)


Feathers were flying and falling slowly, like snowflakes
on the calm evening waters of The Hudson
the army of angels couldn’t wait to gather there
landing, one more time, on the other side of the river

They, and some humans, were witnessing the event
the sun going West, reluctantly, towards the horizon
wrapped in purple strokes, rays piercing the perplexed clouds
everyone in silence and owe, watching gold melting
cascading, covering the New York City skyline

A moment when dreams can be touched
and fairy tales seem more than real
love is the only force that can draw this picture
a man made landscape blessed by the heavens

Pero desde hace algunos años nos hacen creer que siguiendo los "trends" de la tecnología nos convertimos en seres superiores y creativos. En la mayoria de los casos ocurre totalmente lo opuesto porque casi

By Aymara Lorente   In memory of my brother  I believe human beings are unique long before they are born. Once they are in the open world, their personality starts to show immediately. Everything we do as babies reflects our true nature. But the environment and the people around us tend to modify and change our ways, precisely because we are different from everyone else. Therefore, to connect with others we adjust, and also try to make others adapt to us. Is the reality of living in a family, in a society. We are not isolated or alone. However, it takes a lot of molding to change what we bring to the universe. Genes do not mutate so easily or quickly, but behavior and attitude are more easily altered, mainly because, in some cases, a particular person doesn't have a good character foundation, strength, or will power to keep afloat what makes him or her a true original.  My brother, like everyone of us, was unique. Coming from the same mother and father, we were different, and I th
