Musica llena de tunas suena en tu casa

Canciones se van al cielo

Las nubes

Se pelean entre ellas

 

Para traer la lluvia

A la tierra de ensueños

Donde las palmas se mecen fuera de la ventana

Trayendo Memorias de tu vida

 

Mientras que el eco de tus pasos suena por tu morada

Y tu foto cuida

A alguien que dejaste

Perdida en el tiempo

 

 

 

 

Music full of tunes echoes in your home

Chimeras flow towards the sky

Where the clouds fight with each other

To bring the rain to the land of dreams

 

As your memories float in the

Morning dew

And the palm trees sway in the breeze

Your footsteps resound throughout your home

 

Telling me what to do

Guiding me through the path of life

Every moment I breathe

In the house

 

Where your picture looks

After the affairs

Of someone lost in time

Left on this earth after your departure

 

This is not a blog post written to cause contention, but to inspire thought.
The following is a story from CBS of mother Teresa and how she lost her faith. I find it inspiring that even though she had many doubts she continued with the work that was before her. Even though she had every excuse to walk away from the church, Calcutta and all it's poverty she continued to stay and help the people.
Though I am not a "believer", I believe in mother Teresa and the work she did. She is an inspiration!
I'm sure many of you have doubts from time to time. I had so many I lost my faith completely. But unlike me, mother Teresa stayed on the path. Was it for God? Was it for mankind? Was she a "saint"?Or was it all she knew to do? What ever her reason, it must have taken great courage to continue on. To live your whole life in poverty doing hard , selfless work even when you were no longer sure of a "God" or a "payoff" at the end.
Rest in peace Teresa!
 

(CBS)  In life, Mother Teresa was an icon — for believers — of God's work on Earth. Her ministry to the poor of Calcutta was a world-renowned symbol of religious compassion. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

In a rare interview in 1986, Mother Teresa told CBS News she had a calling, based on unquestioned faith.

"They are all children of God, loved and created by the same heart of God," she said.

But now, it has emerged that Mother Teresa was so doubtful of her own faith that she feared being a hypocrite, reports CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips.

In a new book that compiles letters she wrote to friends, superiors and confessors, her doubts are obvious.

Shortly after beginning work in Calcutta's slums, the spirit left Mother Teresa.

"Where is my faith?" she wrote. "Even deep down… there is nothing but emptiness and darkness... If there be God — please forgive me."

Eight years later, she was still looking to reclaim her lost faith.

"Such deep longing for God… Repulsed, empty, no faith, no love, no zeal," she said.

As her fame increased, her faith refused to return. Her smile, she said, was a mask.

"What do I labor for?" she asked in one letter. "If there be no God, there can be no soul. If there be no soul then, Jesus, You also are not true."

"These are letters that were kept in the archbishop's house," the Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk told Phillips.

The letters were gathered by Rev. Kolodiejchuk, the priest who's making the case to the Vatican for Mother Teresa's proposed sainthood. He said her obvious spiritual torment actually helps her case.

"Now we have this new understanding, this new window into her interior life, and for me this seems to be the most heroic," said Rev. Kolodiejchuk.

According to her letters, Mother Teresa died with her doubts. She had even stopped praying, she once said.

The church decided to keep her letters, even though one of her dying wishes was that they be destroyed. Perhaps now we know why.

Here's to the grass that grows through the
cracks of the pavement on the street find the weakness
and defeat the concete
this is your'e mother calling, who you've abused and uprooted
chopped down, bruised, polluted, and used any way you've
suited

you know that book where that Tree
gives that spoiled little kid
damn near everything he needs
limbs, branches, and leaves
while i'm hear to decree now, that that Tree is me
but now I'm only just a stump!

this self fulfilling Profit Margin
got no way to stop enlarging
Monkeys will piss in the well
where they get there drinking water from
and not even notice the smell...

you say you wanna save the planet but you
know you're Mother's planned it so that
She's not the one who needs saving
so good luck with all of your paving
but you know that youi'll be sorry when I'm...

gone just like that little punk
who cut down my trunk and carved me up
and sailed away that day i admit i really wish he sunk
cuz don't forget in the end like destiny
he sat his ass on what was left of me
and sailed off int a strip mall sea
thinking, "Now where are my children gonna play?"

so here's to the grass tha's growing throught the cracks
and claim in the name of the Mother
the other side is fighting back
here's to the grass that's pushing up high
in that pace we used to call outside

you say you wanna save the planet but you
know you're Mother's planned it so that
She's not the one who needs saving
so good luck with all of your paving
but you know that youi'll be sorry when I'm...
