Winds Unleashed
By: Gabriela Yareliz The wind has been jogging my memory, lately. Have you ever been on a walk and been pushed by the wind? I guess what is worse is when you end up walking against a gust that makes you levitate. Everyone who has been in NYC knows these streets turn into wind tunnels.Continue reading “Winds Unleashed”
Character as Fate
“Character is destiny.” Heraclitus By: Gabriela Yareliz “You know it’s fate we are on this train together?” Some unhinged guy said to me. I gave him a look that had him saying I was “aggressive” later on. It spiraled into something ridiculous until I was able to send him on his way— but it remindedContinue reading “Character as Fate”
The Essential for the Pilgrimage
“Chronos is time at her worst. Chronos keeps track. Chronos is delusion of grandeur…. Kairos is intimacy with the real. Kairos is time at her best. Kairos lets go.” Sarah Ban Breathnach By: Gabriela Yareliz Time and growth. There has been an insistent pattern in my reading about both lately. The theme has been aboutContinue reading “The Essential for the Pilgrimage”
Destiny
At the age of twelve, the word “destiny” began to fascinate me. I think Billy Shakespeare did that to me. I began thinking about it in a nuanced way, intertwined with the idea that we all have free will and always have a choice. The word “destiny” then sort of was replaced by “purpose.” IContinue reading “Destiny”
A Word On Prayer
By: Gabriela Yareliz A lot of resources and messages have come together for me pertaining to prayer. I feel this is no accident. It’s like God is trying to teach me something new in this season. Something more effective. A better connection with the authority and power of Heaven. Throughout the week, the phrase “takeContinue reading “A Word On Prayer”
Go in Peace
By: Gabriela Yareliz I think we have all found ourselves in certain types of prison in 2020, and by this I mean a place that confines us, where we feel up against a wall. Maybe our wings feel clipped. Maybe we feel afraid. I have been reflecting on all the pain people around me areContinue reading “Go in Peace”
The Strength for Some Madness
By: Gabriela Yareliz My boyfriend is very gifted and artistic— it really shines when it comes to food. He makes things that are so delicious but also knows how to present them on a plate. He can make sparkling water next-level, you know what I mean? He found this show on Netflix called Chef’s TableContinue reading “The Strength for Some Madness”
A Lesson on Father’s Day
By: Gabriela Yareliz Father’s Day and Mother’s Day are often avoided by people who have experienced childhood trauma. Some people have experienced pain caused by one or both parents, so they distance themselves from the holiday and deeper yet, from the person it celebrates. Father’s Day isn’t a holiday I like to embrace. Sometimes, itContinue reading “A Lesson on Father’s Day”
Stillness and Light
By: Gabriela Yareliz I just saw a little video on Mimi Ikonn’s Instagram stories of how she was walking in London and a hail/rain storm came out of nowhere. She and a friend took shelter under the ledge of a building. They were laughing and confused, getting soaked. It reminded me of that summer nightContinue reading “Stillness and Light”
