Vivimos en cambio constante, con miedo a decir «te quiero» por las consecuencias que podría traer. Pero debemos arriesgarnos, tenemos que perdernos para poder encontrarnos, aprender del daño y seguir soñando. Quiere, quiere mucho. Pero nunca te olvides de quererte a ti. Cuando Manu Erena empezó a escribir poesía en sus cuadernos, no podía imaginar que se convertiría en un fenómeno de ventas gracias a la publicación de su primer libro, Consecuencias de decir te quiero, con el que ha llegado a lo más alto de las listas de best sellers.

Through vivid imagery and pulsing rhythm, Kipling toasts the people of the far-flung British colonies: the “Sons of the Golden South,” the settlers and workers who carved their lives into vast prairies, tin-roofed towns, and coastlines battered by sun and sea.

Max Ehrmann’s Desiderata is a gentle manifesto for the human spirit, written with the clarity of wisdom that comes not from abstraction but from lived experience. First published in 1927, the poem speaks in a calm, almost parental voice, guiding the listener toward a life of quiet dignity amid the disorder of the modern world. Its opening injunction—“Go placidly amid the noise and haste”—establishes both its tone and its philosophy: serenity is not the absence of chaos, but a way of moving through it.

De tantas formas duele el Amar y de maneras opuestas regocijas aún más en el mismo Amor. Todo lo que se vive se le asigna emoción y a nada le quitamos el echo de que vivimos en un presente sin pasado y en un futuro sin sentimientos continuos. Lógica Irrazonable es el comienzo a los sentimientos que nacen con la dualidad de lo inesperado y la ironía de lo que es Amar. Jugando con las palabras para expresar la seriedad cómica de la experiencia. ¿Cuantas veces has Amado y lo contrario recibes de regreso? ¿Porqué Amar es tan complicado y odiar tan fácil de hacer?
