Into the West...from Central Europe brings me to the heart of Maya land

Lay down your sweet and weary head

Night's falling
You've come to journey's end
Sleep now and dream of the ones
who came before....
They're calling from across
a distant short

Why do you weep?

Yes, I have answered this question for myself last night
and formulated my wishes, desires, dreams above the challenges and finals
I want to achieve
and stopped weeping as I saw HOPE of my life retransformed
H- humility
O- openness to the new and unexpected
P-persistence
E- equlibrum

Mis cumpleanos en San Miguel Duenos 12.00-18.30

It was an amazing day full of surprises and I would've never imagined that there is something waiting for me in store . God's gift of care and love I was offered nearly brought me to tears...I was speechless in awe of God's Love and Blessing and of getting the answers I have been waiting for the last 13 years from the lips of a person I considered to be the last one to tell me this in the way he did...

What does your heart need? In some sense it’s a personal question, unique to our make-up, and what brings us life. For some its music, for others its reading, for others they must garden...

Yet there are some things all hearts need in common. We need beauty; that’s clear enough from the fact that God has filled the world with it, as he has given us sun and rain.



 (Psalm 104:15) 
We need to drink in beauty wherever we can get it – in music, in nature, in art, in a great meal shared. These are all gifts to us from God’s generous heart. Friends, those things are not decorations to a life; they are what brings us life.

Rescuing the human heart is the hardest mission (J.E)

The dilemma of the Story is this: we don’t know if we want to be rescued. We are so enamored with our small stories and  we are so bound up in our addictions and our self-centeredness and take-it-for-granted unbelief that we don’t even know how to cry out for help.

........................

Like a woman bound to an affair from which she cannot get free, like a man so corrupted he no longer knows his own name, the human race is captive in the worst way possible—we are captives of the heart.

Their hearts are always going astray. (Hebrews 3:10) 

It is not enough to merely speak of love with our words. We must show it with our lives

Die Falscher

"In "The Counterfeiters," those cauterized features and the talent behind them have been put to the test of playing Salomon "Sally" Sorowitsch, the finest banknote forger in pre-World War II Berlin. There's a back story to Sally we never hear. We know he's originally from Russia and that he's a trained artist. We know the Great War was bad for him and that, in his words, he "had a family, once." The face does the rest, shoving sympathy away.

I finished watching this film just a couple of hours ago and I am under its impression.It was in German with Spanish subtitles and gave me great joy in terms of vocabulary extension in those two languages. The film put so many questions in my mind related to Holocaust issues,Operation Berhard the problem of collaboration with the Nazis and simply survival.

who is Edwin Vega?

Life in Guate-Linda. Is Guate-Linda really linda( bonita)? or rather mala ( read bad in Spanish?) como Guate-Mala? Pun on words.Let's have fun, qrotesque, farse and tragic moments observing the school business.

a venta de mi persona?

Why anyone's little brain might ever crossed such a greedy thought to put on an auction the life of a sweet gal like me:)?
Slavery and selling people seems to be somewhere behind us in obscure past of other countries / at least not Poland or I am very intellectually challenged/ but it happened ...and it happened to me.The STORY is long enough through seemingly some ups and downs, twists and turns and my final leaving this place very soon ... but let me start from the very beginning...

El apostol viene... el dia de La Revolucion

por la noche en Antigua en mi dormitorio

Hard night time- listening to American's radio station from Chicago with the mix of the best classical, pop and Christian pieces... learning some Spanish words simultaneously...and trying a composition in Spanish on "la cultura", "el volcán Pacaya" y "todos mis aventuras pasados meses"

However I am still not able to sleep so let's have some more of reading...

"True strength does not come out of bravado. Until we are broken, our life will be self-centered, self-reliant; our strength will be our own. So long as you think you are really something in and of yourself, what will you need God for? I don’t trust a man who hasn’t suffered; I don’t let a man get close to me who hasn’t faced his wound. Think of the posers you know—are they the kind of man you would call at 2:00 A.M., when life is collapsing around you? Not me. I don’t want clichés; I want deep, soulful truth, and that only comes when a man has walked the road "

I am experiencing now kind of aggression towards my person at school from the side of "los duenos nuevos" and feel a bit uneasy with what may happen next. After all I am the foreigner here ,miles away from home, oceans apart from family and friends back in Poland and I want to stay firm to execute my rights, which in this country ( as anyone who might have studied a bit "la situacion politica") may seem like a great absurd , total tonteria, futile wishes etc... Who is by my side in it? I guess I just have a silent support of anybody who suffered because of Edwin's attitude and decisions but NOBODY speaks a word, does anything because of fear, potencial loss of the job or just this kind of general behaviour which has been practised for at least 36 years due to "la guerra interior" in Guatemala...

We will see what the future brings...

La Ciudad Vieja

"There is no good prayer without real genuine desire"

?Que eran los deseos de la gente indígenas  cuando El Obispo llego a Guatemala para evangelizar y educarlos?Muchas luchas y  la total incomprensión ?Que fue su impresión de la gente con la cultura maya allí? Que los faltaron? El cristianismo? Mas fe? Muchas factores para pensar y discutir... Los coloniales y los conquista- dores generalmente robaron la cultura maya de los indígenas y introdujeron después mucho caos...
