—¿Nunca has parado el mundo?
—¿Qué es parar el mundo?
—Parar el mundo es decidir conscientemente que vas a salir de él para mejorarte y mejorarlo. Para poder moverte y moverlo mejor.
En ese tiempo debes intentar que nadie ni nada te cree problemas.
Alimentarte de buena literatura, de buen cine y, sobre todo, de la conversación de una única persona que te inspire en este mundo. ¿Y sabes qué…?
—¿Qué? —dije emocionado y fascinado.
—Luego el mundo te premia. El universo conspira a favor de los que lo mueven. Y ésos son los que lo paran.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

“
What rhymes with insensitive?” I tap my pen on the kitchen table, beyond frustrated with my current task. Who knew rhyming was so fucking difficult?
Garrett, who’s dicing onions at the counter, glances over. “Sensitive,” he says helpfully.
“Yes, G, I’ll be sure to rhyme insensitive with sensitive. Gold star for you.”
On the other side of the kitchen, Tucker finishes loading the dishwasher and turns to frown at me. “What the hell are you doing over there, anyway? You’ve been scribbling on that notepad for the past hour.”
“I’m writing a love poem,” I answer without thinking. Then I slam my lips together, realizing what I’ve done.
Dead silence crashes over the kitchen.
Garrett and Tucker exchange a look. An extremely long look. Then, perfectly synchronized, their heads shift in my direction, and they stare at me as if I’ve just escaped from a mental institution. I may as well have. There’s no other reason for why I’m voluntarily writing poetry right now. And that’s not even the craziest item on Grace’s list.
That’s right. I said it. List. The little brat texted me not one, not two, but six tasks to complete before she agrees to a date. Or maybe gestures is a better way to phrase it...
“I just have one question,” Garrett starts.
“Really?” Tuck says. “Because I have many.”
Sighing, I put my pen down. “Go ahead. Get it out of your systems.”
Garrett crosses his arms. “This is for a chick, right? Because if you’re doing it for funsies, then that’s just plain weird.”
“It’s for Grace,” I reply through clenched teeth.
My best friend nods solemnly.
Then he keels over. Asshole. I scowl as he clutches his side, his broad back shuddering with each bellowing laugh. And even while racked with laughter, he manages to pull his phone from his pocket and start typing.
“What are you doing?” I demand.
“Texting Wellsy. She needs to know this.”
“I hate you.”
I’m so busy glaring at Garrett that I don’t notice what Tucker’s up to until it’s too late. He snatches the notepad from the table, studies it, and hoots loudly. “Holy shit. G, he rhymed jackass with Cutlass.”
“Cutlass?” Garrett wheezes. “Like the sword?”
“The car,” I mutter. “I was comparing her lips to this cherry-red Cutlass I fixed up when I was a kid. Drawing on my own experience, that kind of thing.”
Tucker shakes his head in exasperation. “You should have compared them to cherries, dumbass.”
He’s right. I should have. I’m a terrible poet and I do know it.
“Hey,” I say as inspiration strikes. “What if I steal the words to “Amazing Grace”? I can change it to…um…Terrific Grace.”
“Yup,” Garrett cracks. “Pure gold right there. Terrific Grace.”
I ponder the next line. “How sweet…”
“Your ass,” Tucker supplies.
Garrett snorts. “Brilliant minds at work. Terrific Grace, how sweet your ass.” He types on his phone again.
“Jesus Christ, will you quit dictating this conversation to Hannah?” I grumble. “Bros before hos, dude.”
“Call my girlfriend a ho one more time and you won’t have a bro.”
Tucker chuckles. “Seriously, why are you writing poetry for this chick?”
“Because I’m trying to win her back. This is one of her requirements.”
That gets Garrett’s attention. He perks up, phone poised in hand as he asks, “What are the other ones?”
“None of your fucking business.”
“Golly gee, if you do half as good a job on those as you’re doing with this epic poem, then you’ll get her back in no time!”
I give him the finger. “Sarcasm not appreciated.” Then I swipe the notepad from Tuck’s hand and head for the doorway. “PS? Next time either of you need to score points with your ladies? Don’t ask me for help. Jackasses.”
Their wild laughter follows me all the way upstairs. I duck into my room and kick the door shut, then spend the next hour typing up the sorriest excuse for poetry on my laptop. Jesus. I’m putting more effort into this damn poem than for my actual classes.

Hay días en que pienso que ser de izquierdas es una especie de facultad, como la memoria. Todos la tenemos en estado de latencia. Si no la usas nunca, te mueres sin enterarte de que la tenías. La prueba de que está ahí, sin embargo, es que en determinadas situaciones aparece.
Muchas veces se confunde con el orgullo. Pero hay dos clases de orgullo. Para mí, cuando esa facultad no está involucrada el orgullo es puro amor propio. Y cuando el orgullo es amor propio, lo que sale es la pataleta, el sofocón, se pone la cara roja y falta el aire. En cambio, si esa facultad interviene el orgullo se generaliza. La persona comprende que la ofensa, el abuso, lo que sea, no se lo están haciendo sólo a ella; y se le llenan los pulmones de aire;
dice «no puede ser» y las tres palabras vienen de muy lejos, de muchos compañeros caídos y compañeras, de muchas personas aplastadas, humilladas; y aflora en ella un valor, una determinación con los que no soñaba.

How We Approach the New Testament We Christians have been taught to approach the Bible in one of eight ways: • You look for verses that inspire you. Upon finding such verses, you either highlight, memorize, meditate upon, or put them on your refrigerator door. • You look for verses that tell you what God has promised so that you can confess it in faith and thereby obligate the Lord to do what you want. • You look for verses that tell you what God commands you to do. • You look for verses that you can quote to scare the devil out of his wits or resist him in the hour of temptation. • You look for verses that will prove your particular doctrine so that you can slice-and-dice your theological sparring partner into biblical ribbons. (Because of the proof-texting method, a vast wasteland of Christianity behaves as if the mere citation of some random, decontextualized verse of Scripture ends all discussion on virtually any subject.) • You look for verses in the Bible to control and/or correct others. • You look for verses that “preach” well and make good sermon material. (This is an ongoing addiction for many who preach and teach.) • You sometimes close your eyes, flip open the Bible randomly, stick your finger on a page, read what the text says, and then take what you have read as a personal “word” from the Lord. Now look at this list again. Which of these approaches have you used? Look again: Notice how each is highly individualistic. All of them put you, the individual Christian, at the center. Each approach ignores the fact that most of the New Testament was written to corporate bodies of people (churches), not to individuals.

Fishermen don’t play to fold. They will always play the bluff no matter how hard things get. We throw the dice no matter how broke or how leveraged we may be. Like any true gambler, we know the dice will eventually get hot again if we throw them hard enough. It’s just a matter of surviving long enough to throw them enough times to find a winning streak

I like to ensure that I have music and art all around me. My personal favorite is old maps. What I love about old maps is that they are both beautiful and imperfect. These imperfections represent that some of the most talented in history were still very wrong (early cartography was very difficult). As the majority of my work is analysis and advisory, I find it a valuable reminder that my knowledge is limited. No matter how much data or insight I have, I can never fully “map out” any business. Yet, despite the incompleteness of these early cartographers, so much was learned of the world. So much done and accomplished. Therefore, these maps, or art pieces, serve as something to inspire both humility and achievement. This simple environmental factor helps my productivity and the overall quality of my work. Again, it’s like adding positive dice to my hand that are rolled each day.

I grabbed a handful of tarragon and closed my eyes, inhaling its sweet fragrance. I could almost feel my grandmother next to me, smell the aromas embedded into her poppy-print apron, taste her creamy veloutés. Thanks to her, my skills in the kitchen started developing from the age of seven. I'd learned how to chop, slice, and dice without cutting my fingers, to sauté, fry, and grill, pairing flavors and taming them into submission.
Just as I'd experienced with my grandmother's meals, when people ate my creations, I wanted them to think "now this is love"- while engaging all of the five senses. For me, cooking was the way I expressed myself, each dish a balance of flavors and ingredients representing my emotions- sweet, sour, salty, smoky, spicy-hot, and even bitter. My inspiration as a chef was to give people sensorial experiences, to bring them back to times of happiness, to let them relive their youth, or to awaken their minds.

Se saprai mantenere la testa quando tutti intorno a te
La perdono, e te ne fanno colpa.
Se saprai avere fiducia in te stesso quando tutti ne dubitano,
Tenendo però in considerazione anche il loro dubbio.
Se saprai aspettare senza stancarti di aspettare,
O essendo calunniato, non rispondere con calunnia,
O essendo odiato, non dare spazio all'odio,
Senza tuttavia sembrare troppo buono, né parlare troppo saggio;
Se saprai sognare, senza fare del sogno il tuo padrone;
Se saprai pensare, senza fare del pensiero il tuo scopo,
Se saprai confrontarti con Trionfo e Rovina
E trattare allo stesso modo questi due impostori.
Se riuscirai a sopportare di sentire le verità che hai detto
Distorte dai furfanti per abbindolare gli sciocchi,
O a guardare le cose per le quali hai dato la vita, distrutte,
E piegarti a ricostruirle con i tuoi logori arnesi.
Se saprai fare un solo mucchio di tutte le tue fortune
E rischiarlo in un unico lancio a testa e croce,
E perdere, e ricominciare di nuovo dal principio
Senza mai far parola della tua perdita.
Se saprai serrare il tuo cuore, tendini e nervi
Nel servire il tuo scopo quando sono da tempo sfiniti,
E a tenere duro quando in te non c'è più nulla
Se non la Volontà che dice loro "Tenete duro!"
Se saprai parlare alle folle senza perdere la tua virtù,
O passeggiare con i Re, rimanendo te stesso,
Se né i nemici né gli amici più cari potranno ferirti,
Se per te ogni persona conterà, ma nessuno troppo.
Se saprai riempire ogni inesorabile minuto
Dando valore ad ognuno dei sessanta secondi,
Tua sarà la Terra e tutto ciò che è in essa,
E - quel che più conta - sarai un Uomo, figlio mio!

El sueño que muchos no entenderán:
Compré un caballo por un sueño personal.
Un día cuando esté muy viejo y cuando no pueda caminar más , estará en su corral como un trofeo de mis recuerdos.
Conocí a personas que me enseñaron algo y tienen el mismo espíritu y conocí a otros que me alegro haber olvidado.
Me mojé, sentí frío y sentí calor. Sentí miedo, me caí y me levanté. Incluso me lastimé. Pero también, reí a carcajadas. Hablé mil veces conmigo mismo. Canté y grité de alegría como un loco. Y sí, a veces lloré.
He visto lugares maravillosos y viví experiencias inolvidables. Me detuve mil veces para ver un paisaje. Hablé con perfectos desconocidos, y olvidé a gente que veo todos los días. Salí con mis demonios dentro y volví a casa con una paz absoluta en el corazón. Siempre pensé lo peligroso que es, sabiendo que el significado del coraje es avanzar incluso sintiendo miedo. Cada vez que subo a mi caballo pienso en lo maravilloso que es.
Dejé de hablar con quien no entiende, (simplemente no entienden) y aprendí a través de gestos a comunicarme con otros igual que yo.
Gasté dinero que no tenía, renunciando a muchas cosas, pero todas estas cosas no valen ni un momento sobre mi caballo.
No es un medio de transporte ni un pedazo de huesos con herraduras es la parte perdida de mi alma y de mi espíritu.
Y cuando alguien me dice: tienes que vender el caballo y tienes que ser una persona más seria. No, respondo. Simplemente balanceo la cabeza y sonrío.

Las vacas no dan leche:
Un campesino acostumbraba a decirle a sus hijos cuando eran niños:
cuando tengan 12 años les contaré el secreto de la vida.
Cuando el mas grande cumplió los 12 años le preguntó ansiosamente a su padre cuál era el secreto de la vida.
El padre le respondió que se lo iba a decir, pero que no debía revelárselo a sus hermanos.
El secreto de la vida es este: La vaca no da leche.
-¿Qué dices?- preguntó incrédulo el muchacho.
-Tal cual lo escuchas, hijo: La vaca no da leche, hay que ordeñarla. Tenes que levantarte a las 4 de la mañana, ir al campo, caminar por el corral lleno de excremento, atar la cola y las patas de la vaca, sentarte en el banquito, colocar el balde y hacer los movimientos adecuados!
Ese es el secreto de la vida. La vaca, la cabra, o la llama no dan leche. Las ordeñas o no tienes leche.

The game is played by partners. Each child has a blank 100 grid. The first partner rolls two number dice. The numbers that come up are the numbers the child uses to make an array on their 100 grid. They can put the array anywhere on the grid, but the goal is to fill up the grid to get it as full as possible. After the player draws the array on their grid, she writes in the number sentence that describes the grid. The game ends when both players have rolled the dice and cannot put any more arrays on the grid
