Unicorn trap
For we've made ourselves a good trap
Based on what we know about unicorns
With the only issue being that they
Know our ideas and scorns
So they stay away, play and nap

Hamlet, climb the fort
Looking for Shakespeare to come
And edit your soul
“When a Russian cosmonaut returned from space and reported that he had not found God, C. S. Lewis responded that this was like Hamlet going into the attic of his castle and looking for Shakespeare.” –Timothy Keller, The Reason for God (New York: Dutton, 2008), 122.

Thunder, earthquake, flames
but rather whisper within:
beat of my heart.
In this Sargasso Sea of fantasy and fraud, how can I or anyone else hope to swim unencumbered? How can I learn to see through, not with the eye? Take off my own motley, wash away the makeup, raise the iron shutter, put out the studio lights, silence the sound effects and put the camera to sleep? Watch the sun rise on Sunset Boulevard, and set over Forest Lawn?
Find furniture in the studio props, silence in a discotheque, love in a strip tease? Read truth off an auto cue, catch it on a screen, chase it on the wings of muzak? View it in living color with the news, hear it in living sound along the motorways? Not in the wind that rent the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks; not in the earthquake that followed, nor in the fire that followed the earthquake. In a still, small voice. Not in the screeching of tires, either, or in the grinding of brakes; nor in the roar of jets or the whistle of sirens, or the howl of trombones, or the rattle of drums, or the chanting of demo voices. Again, that still, small voice - if one could catch it.
--Malcolm Muggeridge, The Green Stick: A Chronicle of Wasted Years.

Cayó el árbol en medio del bosque pero nadie estaba para escucharlo.
El ruido fue tan ensordecedor que nadie oyo todo, mientras que todo resonó como nunca.
El árbol se disculpó por el ruido aunque nadie se quejara; sabía que era lo correcto por hacer.

So what if I told you that
you're determined to end?
Wouldn't you have to deny yourself
and everything there is
In order to find other than your own
for freedom be enjoyed not alone.

Beautiful life from here on.

Andando y caminando
El otro día me di una vuelta a pie por San Salvador. Algunas de las cosas más interesantes que noté son:
- Nadie anda a pie. En serio, nadie. La gente que camina, parece hacerlo por tramos cortitos. No sé si sentirme viejo o qué, pero yo de niño aprendí a caminar por toda la ciudad. Ahora es algo que solo se hace en algunas zonas del país, y por periodos cortos de tiempo.
- Caminando se siente que esta ciudad es graaande. En serio, especialmente con nuestro bello clima a mediodía. Terrible.
- Quizá por la cantidad de años que tengo de no andar a pie (en los últimos ha sido por buses, carros, etc.), no había pensado en que los ríos y quebradas son un ecosistema totalmente diferente dentro de la ciudad. Hemos excluído a la gente que no queremos ver, para que no sea vista en nuestras calles. Y después nos preguntamos por qué el ambiente social es como es.

Bring conscience of truth
No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting against it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in. We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it (...). --Clive Staples L.
