MY LUCKY ENCOUNTER<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\n

I had a lucky encounter with the swans<\/p>\n

that marked my whole life,<\/p>\n

a miraculous moment between the lake and the forest.<\/p>\n

They invented stillness.<\/p>\n

Swans know how to see inside the soul<\/p>\n

because they do not know anger,<\/p>\n

they are spiritual.<\/p>\n

I was walking on the water close to the swans,<\/p>\n

I talked to them and I felt that I touched eternity,<\/p>\n

that I had lived for centuries in an ecstasy of divinity<\/p>\n

where only love and I did fit.<\/p>\n

MI ENCUENTRO AFORTUNADO \/\/ Tuve un afortunado encuentro con los cisnes \/que marc\u00f3 toda mi vida, \/un momento milagroso entre el lago y el bosque. \/ Ellos inventaron la quietud. \/ Los cisnes saben ver adentro del alma \/porque no conocen la ira, \/son espirituales. \/Yo iba caminando sobre el agua al lado de los cisnes, \/habl\u00e9 con ellos y sent\u00ed que toqu\u00e9 la eternidad, \/que hab\u00eda vivido siglos en un \u00e9xtasis de la divinidad\/donde solo cab\u00edamos el amor y yo<\/em><\/p>\n
