Nunca huyas de la noche pensando que el día salva, la luz ilumina a justos y a pecadores, a los que sueñan y destruyen. La luz, como las buenas intenciones, puede ser detenida por el pétalo de una rosa,

Greetings, friends of Holos & Lotus. I'm tired of seeing so many people around me doing things that are poorly done, or at least morally questionable, just because others are doing them too. And I

Greetings, friends. The headquarters of the Nicolás Guillén Foundation in Las Tunas dates back to 2002, when I was just a child. However, even back then, when I wasn't even thinking about becoming a writer,

Greetings, friends. My son is eleven years old and speaks to me without filters. He tells me the good, the bad, and what he doesn't understand. That trust didn't appear by magic; I patiently built it from

Greetings, friends. I'm one of those people who always need solitude. Actually, I try to avoid gatherings and crowds. At most, I can tolerate family celebrations (birthdays, Christmas, New Year's, etc.).

Greetings, friends. The book that changed my life as a writer was One Hundred Years of Solitude. I write much more poetry than prose, and yet, this great novel was the first one I thought of, the one that,

Hay quien lleva la luz en la mirada, el susurro del tiempo en los oídos... y va naciendo sol. Pocos amigos degollan una lágrima por cada mañana que amanecen sobre el mundo. Entre los pocos vas, como una

I'm a sort of human lie detector. It's the result of years of observing, listening attentively, and subjecting every conversation to a filter of logic that now operates automatically. I almost always know

Greetings, friends. My son is quite independent; as independent as a 10-year-old can be these days. His independence stems from his intelligence. The same intelligence that led him to have his first

Greetings, friends. I found this week's prompt, @ifarmgirl, quite amusing, as I was discussing this topic with some friends. Honestly, if I were at a party or somewhere else and someone was talking about

Greetings, friends of @holos-lotus. I've rarely been able to write about gratitude without it sounding like a farewell or a year-end reflection. But today I feel I must write it down, commit it to paper

Greetings, friends. Luckily, I'm blessed with a healthy body. I'm not a sickly person. At most, I catch a cold or two a year. My only problem is gaining weight. I've always been slim, and to take care

Greetings, friends. I'm fairly new to this whole vast world of Hive, so, @kerrislravenhill, I have no idea what I could do with such a large voting power as yours; except vote, of course, and thus help

Greetings, friends. Since I was little, I've been very clear about how I manage my budget. I don't know how, since no one taught me, but when my parents gave me money for school, I didn't spend it all.
