Vale Que Tengas


 

Lyrics to Vale Que Tengas by Ely Guerra:


 

Me enteré de como se sumerge
en el ácido el corazón,
puedo claramente ver las gotas de dolor,
una mezcla de ignorancia y falta de pasión,
una indiferencia que engrandece el desamor,
un silencio enorme que ensordece.

Vale que tengas tiempo para soñar,
vale que tengas tiempo para sentirte feliz,
vale que tengas tiempo para sentirte infeliz,
porque la vida es así, la vida es así...

Vale que tengas tiempo para volar
vale que tengas tiempo par sentir el amor
vale que tengas tiempo para sentir el dolor
porque el dolor es mejor cuando se entiende.

Me enteré de como es que se encienden
los temores, la desilusión
puedo claramente ver la poca inspiración
el vacío al que se enfrenta nuestro corazón
una indeferencia que engrandece al desamor
un silencio enorme que ensordece.

Vale que tengas tiempo para soñar,
vale que tengas tiempo para sentirte feliz,
vale que tengas tiempo para sentirte infeliz,
porque la vida es así, la vida es así...
Vale que tengas tiempo para volar,
vale que tengas tiempo para sentir el amor,
vale que tengas tiempo para sentir el dolor,
porque el dolor es mejor cuando se entiende...

porque el dolor es mejor cuando se entiende.

NaNoWriMo~the thrill of finally writing a novel

Writing a Novel in a month in honor of NaNoWriMo: National Writing Month

I'm not going to put this off any longer! I'm going to do this. I am trying to write a novel in a month….


 

Pedaling through the streets of Palermo or Paducah I have felt joy in realities far less than perfect. I want to write a novel about the concept, 'I create my own reality' and I want to create simultaneously this parallel universe, that of the novel. Essentially it will be a new reality based on the philiosophy of it's creation: a creation about reality creation. Must I truly learn how to create my own reality before creating another one within the confines of a book?


 

How wonderful to have a home birth through my character! How wonderful to have a mother and a father through a character. A happy world spun and created from despair and love is the essence of our society. I do not want to go to dark places~yet, I'll save those monsters for Stephen king. I love flow, I love writing practice in a notebook, but I also love sitting here at my key board clunking away. I realize that handwriting slows you down, and this is the reason that it is good. It makes you think a bit more. I think I will do both for this novel. I just want to get started.


 

I will write in the voice of ???? a character from ??? alice walker went all over the world in Temple of my Familiar. She was in touch with her essence, she channeled …
