Diseases of the Soul: Madness
Have you seen that high mountain that seems to touch the sun? Have you seen that star that seems so far away that its distance would easily duplicate eternity? Have you seen the rough sea, the thunder that seems to explode the ears and the desert where nothing grows?
Nevertheless, the ground is fertile beyond and the fields give milk and honey.
Have you seen and heard a child to cry and then to laugh instantly? All these things may seem incredible but they all are natural part of the scenery of the great process of living. But I am going to tell you something that might has happened or will happen to you. There is a moment where laughing seems like crying, when the morning light is covered with shadows, when winter gives me warmth, when that far star comes down to the ground and talks to me very softly, saying things that I would not dare to repeat. And some other times, the desert is filled with water and the water in front of me seems to dry and I can see the fish suffocate not in the sea but in the emptiness. And when I look at the eyes looking at me, I don’t know anymore who is looking to whom. And I continue but my strength weakens and it becomes a great battle where nobody lives.
Then, I begin walking on top of an infinite lake of blood, made out of hate, rancor, doubt and fear. And after, comes the nothing and embraces, kisses , takes, breaks me in pieces and in that way I return from the nothing and I live again but a useless, individual loss, who does not understand the path to follow.
I am also despised and misunderstood by everybody, even by myself. I am Madness.

Haiti, you are in our Prayers
Let us keep our brothers and sisters in Haiti in our thoughts and prayers as they are recovering from the effects of the earthquake that devastated their country.
In addition to the gift of prayer, other ways in which we can offer assistance is by uniting our efforts with those of various agencies and organizations, which are already providing relief for our suffering brothers and sisters in Haiti.

The Two Faces of Adam
The Adam of this example, is a regular man, who has goals, perspectives, illusions, dreams, hopes. He has lived enough to know the two ends of the same coin. Both are full of passion, desire, fondness, but one of them and only one of them has an absolutely genuine commitment. Then, what is the meaning of falling in love? For one of the ends is a question of skin and attraction; within this form of attraction there are some variables as security, comfort, confidence, friendliness, amenity, sexuality, professionalism or others, extreme categories within the genres of diversion and entertainment. But this vision is practical, utilitarian, selfish and transitory. Because, there is no concept here of home or union in the attraction born of hunger or loneliness or instinct.
The romance of the example, lasts for some time but later disappears, gets bored, dies or goes away. This face is not defined, does not commit. Everything seems nice but finally the instability of character corrupts the relationship. It is like a beautiful raincoat of paper, that may hold the wind but under a strong and heavy rain, would disappear. But there is a more delicate situation that results from every experience. The balance can be very destructive and the experience that started as a castle, collapses and turns into a sword. There can be rage, rancor, bitterness which leave the person or persons, confused, demoralized or what is worse, used to this type of experience. And then, what will happen ? That person will be living through a lot of these experiences and his feelings and heart will become cold, calculating and indifferent. Another face of the coin is that the falling in love begins with the tenderness of the soul which makes her to feel attention, care, fondness, understanding and a filial respect which is real, spiritual and certainly material. There is desire, passion but there is a feeling of home and continuity. Wind, rains, fires, losses or profits may come, but they will not be altered or affected. The process of falling in love will grow and develop like a well care plant; that will give flowers, fruits and will last beyond death.
Nothing can be imposed in its way, either time, space, poverty, wealth, health, beauty or ugliness.
There is a reason because for something more has been born of the spirit. When the falling in love is real, is like mixing two pure waters into one. While the passing infatuation is like water and oil, which no matter how much they are mixed, they separate. Love is a superior intelligence and spiritual Love is sincere. And the sincerity does not change, does not sell, does not wither but each new day makes a path of happiness out of its life.
