The Cradle - La cuna

 

The Cradle.

In the center of the room, in the shadows, the splendid cradle revealed its aquamarines embedded in the black ebony of the headboard. A sunbeam, lost, came to illuminate the hidden faces of the twins who were sleeping peacefully. The cradle was surprised by the discovery because it had been alone in that attic for more than forty years, after having cradled all the offspring of the family. The cradle was felt again the center of the universe. So much happiness made it hug them tight ... tight. So tight that the twins stopped breathing.

 

La cuna.

En el centro de la estancia, en penumbra, la espléndida cuna dejaba ver sus aguamarinas incrustadas en el negro ébano del cabecero. Un rayo de sol, perdido, vino a iluminar las escondidas caritas de los gemelos que dormían plácidamente. La cuna se sorprendió del hallazgo porque hacía más de cuarenta años que permanecía sola en aquel desván, después de haber acunado a todos los vástagos de la familia. Se volvió a sentir el centro de universo. Tanta felicidad le hizo abrazarlos fuerte… fuerte. Tan fuerte, que los gemelos dejaron de respirar.

The Mind Games - Los juegos de la mente

 The Mind Games Today I discovered something extraordinary. The external world does not exist. Everything around me, including people, objects, and events, exists only in my mind. They do not exist outside of it. Everything is a product of my imagination. It is my imagination that invents what happens to me at every moment. Thus, my life unfolds along the paths dictated by my imagination. We exist only in each other's minds.   Los juegos de la mente Hoy he descubierto algo extraordinario. El mundo exterior no existe. Lo que me rodea, incluidas personas, objetos y eventos están solo en mi mente. No existen fuera de ella. Todo es producto de mi imaginación. Ella es la que inventa lo que me ocurre en cada instante. De manera que mi vida transcurre por los caminos que dicta mi imaginación. No existimos sino en la mente de cada uno.

She - Ella

She It was a dark night, with no shadows. He was driving absentmindedly on an unpaved road when, on a sharp curve, the headlights illuminated the figure of a woman. He turned the wheel quickly to try not to hit her but it was impossible. He braked the vehicle and got out quickly to help her. She then realized that she was dead. The headlights of his vehicle illuminated the macabre scene. He dragged her, with great difficulty, away from the road, and hid her behind some bushes. He returned home and that night he could not fall asleep; at dawn, he fell asleep. He woke up a while later remembering the accident. He got up and raised the blinds on the bedroom window. The image of the run-over woman was reflected in the mirror, sitting on the edge of the bed. He turned around terrified and there she was, with a trickle of blood coming down from the corner of her lips. She stayed to live with him forever. Already on his deathbed, she confessed that the accident was not even a coincidence. Aft...

Language and Other Extraordinary Stories - El lenguaje y otros cuentos extraordinarios - 言語とその他の驚くべき物語

 Language and Other Extraordinary Stories The other day I was telling my dog  about the time that had to pass since humans invented language, until all animals, some before and others after, began to understand and speak the language of humans. With a certain contemptuous air, my dog told me that, although mastering language had cost them a little more, they had other abilities that human beings did not possess and have never possessed. For one reason or another, they can detect the presence of invisible forces from the ethereal world. Slowly drinking the beer from him, and hiding his gaze under some modern sunglasses, my dog ​​ told me: -If you could see what I see, it would worry you. There is a being of light behind you that identifies itself as the future being that you will soon become. So you must value language appropriately compared to other abilities that you have not been able to acquire.   El lenguaje y otros cuentos extraordinarios El otro día le...
