The delight song of a fake hero

I am the hope every young person has
I am the routines that have been broken
I am the nature in summer
I am the Moon creating tranquil places
I am the music created by beatiful people
I am a lucky living being with a home
I am an observer of humans among animals
I am a sudden change of mood
I am a cat sleeping without worries dreaming of food
i am the ears and eyes of a lazy person
I am the suspense which makes us feel important
I am a kept living with my family
I am the distorted view on a mirror
I am a person being considerated just because
I am a thing that believes in the future of the world
I am a cartoon with superpowers, magic spells, speaking Japanese
I am the answer you want to know


They matter, I am important, I am important
I stand in good relation to the hope
I stand in good relation to the music
I stand in good relation to the superpowers
I stand in good relation to the world
They matter, I am important, I am important

Food (after a poem by Victor M. Valle)


Once you eat soup
you'll swim in a noodle lagoon
Have some lemon ice cream
and you'll skii in the whitest snow
Eat a slice of onion pizza
and you'll feel on a bonfire

The Hypocrisy of Thanksgiving


Addams Family Values (1993)
Screenwriter(s): Paul Rudnick
Steely-glaring, contemptuous Wednesday Addams (Christina Ricci), participating in a summer camp play at Camp Chippewa about the "First Thanksgiving" feast as the lead Native American Pocahontas, lambasted the lead white Pilgrim character with this ad-libbed monologue to the stunned reactions of everyone:

Wait!.. We cannot break bread with you...You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now, my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the roadsides. You will play golf, and enjoy hot h'ors d'oeuvres. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They have said: 'Do not trust the pilgrims, especially Sarah Miller'...And for all these reasons, I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground.
 Now, I invite you to watch this scene since it is absolutely full of content.  Pay attention to each word that the characters use. 
Lets enjoy the sarcasm!

To Remember Her (after a poem by Leroy Quintana)


When I was young 
we used to meet on Sundays at home
we used to eat wonderful asados
and have a good time
we used to listen to her stories 
and eat lemon pie

But time goes,
now we only have memories of her
we are still meeting on Sundays
have a good time
and to remember her
we still eat lemon pie.

The Delight Song of Dawn Light

I am the sun in a warm day
I am the moon in a clear night
I am a lover of the sea
I am a lover of the cosmos
I am a wild horse running though the greenest plain
I am a loving and carrying woman
I am sensitive and cheerful
I am curious and determined
I am loyal and demosntrative
I am the music I listen to
I am the movies I have watched
I am a lover of the sea
I am a lover of the cosmos
I am a wild horse running though the greenest plain


My reaccion to "the three little pigs" 


Even thought "the three little pigs" is known as a story for children, it can give a good lesson about life.
I think the story of the little pigs is metaphorical and that each pig can represent different choices in life.
 In the story, three little pigs left their mother's house to build their own homes. 
 The concept of "house" is a completely meaningful term. A house is ones refuge, habitat, nest; It is a place that is shared with loved ones. It is a magic place where ones identity can be discovered on each decorative item, furniture, colour, etc. So a house can be considered to be the reflection of someone's identity in a mirror.

 The pigs have to build up their houses and for that they use different materials, such as straw, wood or brick, according to their preferences.

That is to say that, each pig takes a decision about what kind of house he wants to have in relation to the resources they used.

In our life resources can be education, traditions, experiences, money and time among others.

In the story those who build up their houses with wood and straw finished the work quicker that the one that choose a brick house.
 But the two first ones suffered the wolf attack. It not only distroied their houses (identities) but also ate them all up. 

Build it and rebuild it as many times it is necessary. make of yourself your ideal;  make of yourself a  solid comfortable place to live in. Make of each good decision, a brick for your home. so, invest in your identity.  Build yourself to be happy!

Remember 
~ B y Joy Harjo ~
  
I would like to share this poem with you because of the genuine beauty that is inside of each word of the poem.  I am completely impressed by how harmoniously the ideas flow in the text.   Through vivid pictures and strong relationships, it can offer peace and energy in abundance. That feeling enters in my eyes, runs directly along my legs and later on, sleeps in my heart. 



Remember the sky that you were born under, 
know each of the star's stories. 
Remember the moon, know who she is. I met her 
in a bar once in Iowa City. 
Remember the sun's birth at dawn, that is the 
strongest point of time. Remember sundown 
and the giving away to night. 
Remember your birth, how your mother struggled 
to give you form and breath. You are evidence of 
her life, and her mother's, and hers. 
Remember your father. He is your life also. 
Remember the earth whose skin you are: 
red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth 
brown earth, we are earth. 
Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their 
tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them, 
listen to them. They are alive poems. 
Remember the wind. Remember her voice. She knows the 
origin of this universe. I heard her singing Kiowa war 
dance songs at the corner of Fourth and Central once. 
Remember that you are all people and that all people are you. 
Remember that you are this universe and that this universe is you. 
Remember that all is in motion, is growing, is you. 
Remember that language comes from this. 
Remember the dance that language is, that life is. 
Remember. 

~ Joy Harjo ~
