Three lives in three countries: Spain, Senegal and Chile. Look back at my chronicles of crazy adventure, introspection, love and confusion. It's just the journey of a young Californian gal who's getting a taste of the world, but it's also so much more...

Poem: "The Whisper of the Soul" by David Kenning

The Whisper of the Soul

To see, we sometimes
have to close our eyes,
to hear, shut our ears
and standing still, feel the bodie´s rythm.

Closing our eyes, we lose
those images that distract,
and reach the imagination,
that mirror of the heart.

To hear the whisper of the soul
shut out the daily din.
Stand still for just a moment
observe your feet, sinking in the sand.

-David Kenning


El Susurro del Alma

Ver, algunas veces
tenemos que sellar nuestros ojos,
oír, cerrar nuestras orejas
y en pie tranquilo, sentir el ritmo del cuerpo.

Cerrando nuestros ojos, perdemos
estas imágenes que distraen,
y alcanza la imaginación,
ese espejo del corazón.

Oír los susurros del alma
alejarse del estruendo cortidiano.
Párate sólo por un momento
observa tus pies, huniéndose en la arena.

-David Kenning
