LA CORRIENTE QUE NOS LLEVA



Nuestras vidas son los ríos
que van a dar en la mar,
que es el morir:
allí van los señoríos
derechos a se acabar
y consumir;
allí los ríos caudales
allí los otros medianos
y más chicos:
allegados, son iguales
los que viven por sus manos
y los ricos.




La imagen plasmada por Jorge Manrique en las Coplas a la muerte de su padre sigue siendo una de las más bellas y precisas formas de describir la vida. El tiempo, como el agua, fluye de forma inevitable arrastrándonos hacia la muerte ineludible con una fuerza mayor que todas las que le podamos oponer. Y, como el agua, en nuestra primera edad corremos alegremente, saltando cristalinos de piedra en piedra; nos convertimos después en oscuros y tempestuosos, nos llenamos de remolinos y formamos meandros para esquivar el terreno duro que encontramos a nuestro paso; y al final, terminamos siendo un curso lento, ancho y profundo antes de desaparecer, fundidos con todas las aguas que fueron antes que nosotros.

Parecería entonces que no somos más que tiempo, que nuestra vida no sería más que un dejarse llevar indefectiblemente hacia la muerte, si no fuera porque ese fluir, esa agua de la vida que nos arrastra, arrastra algo. Algo que lleva dentro de sí. Pueden ser hojas o ramas caídas de los árboles que la rodean. Tierra que levanta de su cauce al pasar. Piedras desprendidas de las rocas a su paso. El “yo” inmaterial que sentimos dentro de nosotros desde que nacemos, la conciencia del ser que todos tenemos y que permanece inmutable a pesar de los cambios físicos que experimentamos.

¿Con qué podríamos comparar nuestra esencia? Con una hoja que se desliza lentamente sobre la superficie (como si un niño, imaginándola barco, la hubiera depositado con todo cuidado) hasta pudrirse y disolverse en el agua. Con una rama desgajada del tronco, pero aún verde y fuerte, que se engancha en las rocas que sobresalen y forma represas, intentando estancar el agua, hasta que es arrastrada por una crecida. O con una piedra, al principio informe y llena de aristas y al final, suavizada por los choques contra las otras piedras que viajan con ella, convertida en un pulido y suave canto rodado.

Quizá haya algo de todo o quizá no haya nada. Pero la forma que prime en nuestro ser (hoja, rama o piedra) va a determinar qué vamos a ser cuando lleguemos al mar y cómo vamos a volver a la playa.

Me identifico con la hoja en cuanto a la podredumbre final, sobre todo en el aspecto físico; pero es inevitable que también me identifique con la piedra en cuanto a lo de limar asperezas, serenidad de espíritu, talante conciliador, es decir, quiero que mi espíritu algún día sea una piedra pulida, un canto rodado, en suma, no quiero que cuando se me pase la cuenta por los servicios prestados, venga añadido a mi factura un gasto adicional en concepto de "chinita fastidiosa dentro de un zapato" que sirvió para hacerle daño a alguien alguna vez.
Qué bonito todo eso que has escrito. Me gusta que me hagan discurrir y que no me lo den todo pensado.
Besazo, Gloria.
PD: Recibí tu mail y te reitero las gracias.

Isabel dijo...

Siempre me han gustado las coplas de Jorge Manrique, ¡son tan vigentes! y me gusta también la reflexión que haces a partir de ellas. A mi particularmente me gustan las piedras, siempre guardo alguna que recojo por donde paso.
Por grande que sea o pequeña que se convierta siempre está ahí.
Muy bonito Gloria. Besos

Hola Gloria, me identifico con las tres formas. Pero casi, casi, me decanto por la rama aún verde, que intenta con todas sus fuerzas nos er arrastrada por la corriente. Un abrazo y enhorabuena por el blog que sigue su andadura por las mieles del éxito. Valeria

Yo me identifico con la hoja que se pudre. Saludos.

If you are a novice gambler you probably haven’t heard the term but professional bettors who earn their livelihood from sports betting use the method all the time taking advantage of the variance in odds from the opinions of the diverse number of bookmakers. Even though it sounds as if it is a no risk situation that may not always be the case and there some issues that can cause you to lose.

Any one who bets on sports for profit will want to make sure they are getting the best sports betting odds but it doesn’t matter what you are betting on, the fact of the matter is that the house is going to be sure to come out on top. They don’t build those billion dollar casinos with winner’s money! The best odds are generally a little better and a sports bettor will likely see a return of eight to ten dollars for every hundred dollars he or she bets over a long term period.

The changes that are going to be made to the Wire Act are quite simple. First and foremost the internet will be added to the list of wire communications that are prohibited. Of course the internet was not around in 1961 so it was not included in the first draft. In addition, penalties for breaking the Wire Act will increase from a maximum of two years in prison to five.

The important thing to note here is that neither of the above approaches is "systemised", although those in the first group believe that they are limiting losses while increasing their winning chances. But what the majority in that first group generally do not take proper account of is how the Bookies have fixed the odds to ensure that they, the Bookies, will come out on top in the long run. What this means is that if you only bet on "favourites" you will eventually lose all your money, although it is true that you will enjoy a much longer period of betting before you kiss your last buck goodbye!

9.) Similarly, chat rooms also offer different incentives. Some chat rooms offer free game for playing and chatting for certain number of hours on their site. Some offer incentives for referring friends to their site. Such incentives offer extra chances to play and therefore, more chances for winning a game of online bingo. You also get to enjoy bingo games for longer periods.

All 24 numbers have strategic positions in the bingo card while the remaining numbers occupy dead positions or squares. Probability of winning combinations occupying strategic positions is high. The dead squares come into force only in bingo combinations occurring in horizontal or vertical positions.

If you do not know anyone who uses the gaming sites or you want some additional reinforcement your first port of call should be an online bingo community. By reading reviews by other people who use the Bingo sites, you will be able to get a feel for the different sites that exist and make a more qualified decision about which one you would like to use. The knowledge concerning different sites and what other users consider important about them is an invaluable tool for the new online Bingo player. Whether it is for fun or for money, there needs to be an element of integrity within the site and a potential for the player to win the game. The knowledge of other users concerning specific sites will tell the new online Bingo player whether the site is for real or is just masquerading in order to harvest the players email addresses in order to bombard them with spam, or worse con them out of their hard earned cash. This can all be avoided with research and trying before you buy, as mentioned earlier the best places to scope out bingo sites is by using a review site or Bingo members forum.

Bingo is usually played in special halls where many players can play at the same time. The actual fun is the tension building up seeing other players closer and closer to the finish line. However, with the advent of the Internet, BINGO has gone online as well. There are many ways to play on the net, though the basics remain the same. You will have to complete a given pattern before anyone else in order to win. Over the net, you need not shout the computer will flash it out for you. Some online games also have chat attached to the games where you can speak with other players online and have fun right from your home, office or any other place where you can get on the net. Chatting is a great way to meet new people and pick up the tips and tricks.

If you have been doing some research into [url=http://muahotdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nu[/url], then you may possess a decent idea of what is well-known. But what is useful for you will hinge on a few variables. Your particular situation will influence what additional areas of study you have to consider. It is not always safe to assume you have absolutely all the details and can stop reading and studying. Putting together the big picture for any subject is often not easy or fast with online research. This is some extra, and important, clues about this very specific subject that undoubtedly will serve you well.

The relative difficulties of men's and women's style

Both women and men may have the demands of keeping their clothing up-to-date and in time, yet men's fashion usually feels a lot easier. Of course, for both genders, clothes and fashion choices can be equally as elaborate, and there are lots of'fashionable'things that can rapidly become fashion faux pas - who is able to say they frequently see people walking around in 70s flames? On the other hand, men's fashion has a few staple items which will exist forever - which man is going to watch out of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Choose traditional cuts, colors and fabrics and you'll never look out-of-place.

Why classic men's fashion is amazing

The classic man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are several options for different functions, however they are all common in their quest for a wise, sharp try to find the individual. The best part about common fashion for men is that it's effectively stylish simply neat. A well-groomed man will more often than not appear his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this is a testament to the style of such apparel. A suit will undoubtedly be worn to work in several jobs because of the professional look it provides to the individual, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Equally a suit will undoubtedly be utilized to many social occasions, like a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This amazing versatility that enables suits to be worn in virtually all occasions is what gives it its eternal border and a permanent invest men's fashion.

Modern developments in traditional men's style

Whilst classic men's styles can never be changed, it's interesting to observe that shifts in men's fashion trends have produced particular common garments back into fashion. The reputation of vintage clothing, specifically, has had back a wide-variety of classic designs into men's closets, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to reference men who dress in a classic yet luxurious way, placing importance on appearance and acting in a sophisticated approach. This tendency for nearly'over-the-top'traditional fashion for men is evident from events such as the'Tweed Run', wherever men and girls of all ages dress in particularly Victorian-style clothing and take to the streets on vintage bicycles - with most of the men wearing perfect mustaches! This is just one of several types of research showing the resurgence of such styles. Additionally, there are numerous sites on line which concentrate on gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as complete web sites such as'The Art of Manliness'dedicated to giving articles on traditional men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, whilst specific facets of traditional men's style can be cut back as new movements, the simple garments which they are derived from will never slip out of fashion.
