“The eternal child is one who has never seen anything so beautiful, because he doesn’t compare. […] But the walker who marvels while walking (the blue of the rocks in a July evening light, the silvery green of olive leaves at noon, the violet morning hills) has no past, no plans, no experience. He hasContinue reading “A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply”

Skin Deep
By: Gabriela Yareliz I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the past. I am doing this thinking it might help someone because it’s slightly mortifying for me. I really believe that when God blesses you, you should pass it on, and share the blessing with others. So, I thought I wouldContinue reading “Skin Deep”
Hero
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we discourage people even though we mean well. Often, we can’t see when people are really unhappy because all we see is what we want for them. We keep pushing them out of love, not out of malice, because we think we know what is best. I heard Wilson Wilson Jr. tell Tim Taylor a quote: “You don’tContinue reading “Hero”

Facing Loss
By: Gabriela Yareliz Some nights, I listen to Delilah on the radio. Old habits that stay a lifetime, I guess. There is something soothing about her voice and wisdom when night falls. Stories and old favorite songs float around in the darkness as slumber finally seduces the senses into stillness. I love the stories, andContinue reading “Facing Loss”

The American Dream: Hispanic Heritage Month
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was talking with some friends about the reality of what people face in this country. I think that as law students, we often sound jaded and bitter. Actually, we are jaded and bitter, sometimes. It’s no secret that we deal with life’s tragedies, racism and injustices every single day. Some of usContinue reading “The American Dream: Hispanic Heritage Month”
Unpacking
By: Gabriela Yareliz In life, some of us travel light, others of us have more to carry. Sometimes, we make many stops in different destinations, and we don’t have the time to unpack. If you don’t have time to completely unpack, then you haven’t reached your ultimate destination, yet. It means you will go far.Continue reading “Unpacking”
Autumn Inspiration
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was a chilly night, but I was blessed to be warm and wrapped up in sweaters and blankets. Yes. We are already there. I woke up to a sunny, 55-degree morning. I feel autumn in my bones. It’s Monday. Garfield hates Mondays–That is why Monday calls for EXTRA inspiration. We are trying to turn MondaysContinue reading “Autumn Inspiration”
What’s in a Church?
By: Gabriela Yareliz One of my favorite things to do in New York is visit churches. Many of them are old and filled with exquisite beauty and detail. This post is about how I recently found one of my favorite churches in the city. I was walking the Highline Park some weeks ago, and IContinue reading “What’s in a Church?”
