Swingset Chicken Coop
slowly dies
who becomes the slave of habit, repeating every day the same itineraries, who does not change
the march
who does not risk and change the color of the clothes,
does not talk to those who do not know.
He or she who shuns passion,
who prefers black on white
, dotting the "i"
rather than a set of emotions,
kind that make your eyes shine,
those that make
a yawn a smile,
those that make the heart beat
face of mistakes and feelings.
Slowly
dies who does not overthrow the table, and who
'unhappy at work,
who does not risk certainty for uncertainty
to chase a dream,
who does not allow at least once
life, to flee from sensate advises.
He or she who does not travel,
does not read, does not listen to music,
who does not find grace in himself.
Dies slowly he who destroys pride,
who does not accept help;
who passes his days complaining of his bad luck
or the incessant rain. He or she
who abandons a project before starting it, who does not
questions on subjects he does not know,
who does not answer when asked about something he knows.
We avoid death in small doses, remembering always that
being alive requires an effort far greater
the simple act of breathing.
Only a burning patience will lead
the attainment of a splendid happiness.
Pablo Neruda
