“There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with.”

Elementos de Génesis
The best thing about change is that something always inevitably ends and that leaves the door open for new beginnings. Sometimes things have to start all over again, as if they were brand new.
Elementos de Integracion
It is funny how it works. For months you go on thinking you are not going to make it through another day, not like this. Then all of a sudden you wake up one day and everything has changed. The hole in your heart is not there anymore. You are over it.

Elementos de dispersion
Sometimes you can actually feel things as they shift and change. You know you are going to come out transformed. And they said people don't change... but you know it is not true. You know it because you are living it.
Cumbia en San Jacinto
Cumbia is a Colombian musical style and folk dance that is considered to be representative of the country. Cumbia began as a courtship dance practiced among the slave population in hidden places away from their owners. In San Jacinto, The way the cumbia is danced is probably one of the purest of the country. The woman is always very dignified representing the indigenous side, and the man has much more of a hot-party role representing the black side. Traditionally the woman will hold a candle, because the places were they used to hide to dance were very dark... Feet are always dragged on the floor, because the slaves had chains on their feet, which didn't allow them to properly move.
In the dance the man is trying to court the woman, and the woman sort of flirts back, but never gives in completely... you never touch each other in the Cumbia...but when you are properly dancing it, you should never take your eyes of your partner... and you get very close without ever touching. (I find it extremely sensual ;) )
