By: Gabriela Yareliz From M. Gandhi’s autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth I am enjoying his book thus far. There are things I don’t agree with; things I do… I like how honest he is about his experience. I find him at times humbling, and at others completely stubborn and set in hisContinue reading “M. Gandhi”

When it feels like you are on ‘pause’
Compiled by: Gabriela Yareliz “Not without design does God write the music of our lives. Be it ours to learn the tune, and not be dismayed at the “rests.” They are not to be slurred over, not to be omitted, not to destroy the melody, not to change the keynote. If we look up, GodContinue reading “When it feels like you are on ‘pause’”

Unknown
By: Gabriela Yareliz We meet again… it is hot outside. Let me rephrase: HOT. The best thing about a car with no AC is the fact that the open window suffices to blow you away. I look like some random gypsy today with a scarf around my head–I think I scared the Subway guy. Poor fellow.Continue reading “Unknown”
The Picture of Dorian Gray & Sensuality
By: Gabriela Gonzalez Why is it that things like pleasure, beauty and art end up leaving us empty and guilty? I found a fascinating book/play on the topic.

Our greatest downfall
By: Gabriela Yareliz Based on Pastor Alejandro Bullon’s message at the Spanish Florida Campmeeting 2012. When looking at other people, we will often point out… hmm that person is a thief or a murderer. This is how we scale evil and wrong in society. It is all by actions that we can point out wrongs. Now ifContinue reading “Our greatest downfall”
Smooth Sailing
“She had the perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very, dangerous to live even one day.” ― Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway By: Gabriela Yareliz This book is probably the weirdest one that has madeContinue reading “Smooth Sailing”
Schopenhauer
By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ve been an insomniac lately… this reminded me of Robert Benigni in “Life is Beautiful,” “La Vita E Bella,” where he tries Schopenhauer to go to sleep (because everything is possible when you want it to be and you can be what you want to be), and he also uses it onContinue reading “Schopenhauer”
