Asin Way To Make Someone Fall Asleep

207 We need contact .- 206 .-

"A nurse told me recently that during the night, when darkness and stillness reign in the hospital, some patients require attention repeatedly. Argues different types of discomfort or she needs, like other nurses, trying to solve. However, your experience tells you that behind those symptoms rather hides the need for contact. The loneliness of the night favored the emergence fears and concerns. Then, a caress, a close look, take your hand or come to the bedside to listen supplies a soothing effect immediately.

generally give little weight to these "medicines" free, but establishing a close and warm contact with another person holds great benefits for physical health and mental.

Virginia Satir, a pioneer of family therapy, often repeated: "Contact affective relations is like breathing to sustain life."

Neurologists insist that humans, like neurons, they need to be connected, and that their welfare depends on the networks of relationships that are integrated.

A tragedy of our society is the number of people who are alone or feel alone no choice. can stay connected with millions of individuals at once, but scarce real and close contact. In the age of the missing communication tools to establish relationships that connect intimately with another. Often, the family shared the same roof, but in practice they live separately, feeling isolated even in the company. Much of marital conflict is due to a disconnect between the partners. And there are people who, despite wanting to, fail to bridge the gap that keeps them away from others.

may be surprising: what more you want, in this case the emotional closeness, too afraid . Unconsciously, the impression that he seems too open runs the risk of being invaded.

By establishing contact may feel naked and vulnerable. It reveals an internal part of the personality, and there is fear of ridicule or the other use the information to control or hurt. This tendency to defend personal space is healthy, except when it becomes a barrier to connecting with others. But the risk also implies a profit.

"Your mission is not find love, but find all the barriers that have created within you not to see " (Jalal ad-din Rumi)

" The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed "(Carl G . Jung)

"I have fear to tell you who I am. Because if I tell you who I am, you might not like how I am, and that's all I have "(John Powell, musician)"

Friends who won

to you ...

know very well These lines belong to you ...

At some point on the earth lay a garden, beautiful like few before seen, bringing together the most diverse kinds of flowers with soft textures in contact with the skin and smells nice, gentle and captivating . It was indeed a splendid garden. It was not only for its various flowers, the best presentation of this garden so that its greatest virtue, but also the comforting power of domestic properties (interior) of those. Really was a beautiful and good garden, and at that point of land which stretched was seen through the eyes of others as pure space which wanted to be.

One day, seeing God's beauty and goodness of the garden, decided to entrust the care of a gardener himself alone, with black eyes and then sad. This young rookie outfielder was still in his office, but you could tell he was very anxious, very carefully to improve and become more skilled. Faced with the proposition of God not hesitate for a second choice in taking over the garden and take care of it. The young gardener would no longer be alone but could only devoutly attend the splendid garden, which quickly fell in love not considering the same wonderful qualities. And so one day summer, a day 20 started its work. They were the gardener and then this beautiful garden ... Both had the opportunity to devote themselves to each other, and the experience of doing it was also beautiful.

The young gardener, who once complained of his loneliness, now accompanied with the garden for most of the hours of the days of your weeks, and was happy, but did not know at all came as if to find out later when things changed and there was no garden or gardener more star in this story. And is that some excess sensitivity caused part of the young gardener, little by little, the lost garden magnificence ... His flowers, some of them and without notice, began to fade by the weakness of the young gardener.

writer of these lines do not let unfortunate that the poor could not be more steady and confident of certain things that were essential to continue contributing to the beauty of this garden ...

happened that one day the young gardener began to doubt whether this garden was the most suitable or not for him, and was where God repeatedly to ask if the garden had given adequate care. God said yes, while he advised effort to dispel the doubts and fears, " Son, if those doubts and those fears could not stop making the garden and its flowers wither ... Could it be that you want that? "and the young gardener was leaving the presence of God thinking" I know I want, I love this garden, but sometimes I also feel that does not give me the all he has ... Should I ask for more? . "And so the young outfielder was torn between how I wanted and loved the beautiful garden and how to have those doubts and fears-unfounded-will vanish.

writer of these lines leaves no regret that the young Gardener was skeptical of the benefits it offered this garden. Young gardener until then had been unable to find the desired calm ... Some time ago he had lost his father who never finished teaching the craft of gardening, and so the young outfielder had to be learning it myself, but helped by the breath of a mother who was always at his side. The young gardener could not erase from his memory the image of a family whose members had gradually faded away from the family portrait ever met. The young outfielder had less trust in people, but not stopped in their longing for love and be loved. The splendid garden was the ideal opportunity to compensate those affected and companies no longer and gotten to know other even more special. However, overcame doubt and fear love ...

As time went on the link between the gardener and the garden, not so splendid, was worn. The garden and not shining like before, and the young gardener and not hard enough for facelift. Thus, gradually ceased to be a splendid garden and many flowers began to wilt. One day, early morning, the young gardener went to the garden, and found it completely dry, the flowers of gentle flavors and textures gentiles. Only then entered conmosión and tried to revive her beauty, but could not.

sought good land and good flowers to replant and bring to the garden, but could not find available anywhere. Then he thought of the water: "In fact the water will do much and the flowers in my garden reborn" , but the water was not available. The young gardener even more worried. Bet because the wet element could do more than anything, and not finding cried. And crying realized that content in their own eyes was the wet element needed. So, he began to mourn and mourn together as long as all I could and give the garden, now dull, gray.

spent the night in his room, meditative and sad, very sad because I knew I could never mourn enough to remedy the drought was going through the garden. Went to bed, sleeping, crying like never before did it for another garden that has never known. His mother, who did not stay beyond his pain with him. And his friends and acquaintances told him "everything will be better, will the drought and the garden will flourish" , but that, unfortunately, never happen.

So the young outfielder returned to the presence of God to ask to intercede and give him back to the garden's beauty has always had, but God said

Son, it's late ...

The garden that once knew splendid

by the goodness and beauty of its flowers

dry now .. You can see there, gray and without any gloss.

The garden has dried up because you could not kill your doubts and fears.

I gave everything I had and more

your folly yet ended up wearing it

and now there is nothing more than flowers without color

that were once warm aromas.

To all this the young gardener said: "But Father, what I can do? ... Please give me one more chance ..." And God said seen:

Son, there are no more opportunities ...

You gave all and let go.

Now what remains is to begin to resign.

Take your things and go away as soon as possible, you

libero Care garden. This, in due time,

reborn ... And one that will take care of it

and perhaps next to the garden is forever ...

Your job is finished. You are dismissed.

And the young outfielder was not to pack their tools and leave. At the very moment he was about to leave on his site turned and looked for the last time the garden was once good and beautiful, with whom he shared the hours of days of weeks and could not hold down a few more tears : "One by one, I can watch it fall, at every moment, one by one ", said the young gardener. " Goodbye garden someday ... " and instant his voice broke and can not say anything more.

Young Gardener started out again and started walking, and gradually moving away from that point of land on which lay the garden, which once was splendid as two black eyes, fixed gaze contemplating the young gardener, who also have it was beautiful, a beautiful love ... A love that garden ... Yes, in the midst of confusion, love the garden ...

The moral in all this:

making roses while you can because tomorrow might not be for you ...

First Death Anniversary Note

Amin Maalouf. The role of culture Prejudice

"In this diverse world, this extraordinary diversity that is now characteristic of all human societies, sometimes we all sing the praise, but also makes us all suffer at times. Because it's source of wealth for our countries, but so is stress. The nations are based on the foundation of ethnic diversity and immigration are among the most dynamics of the planet, and just look at the other side of the Atlantic to be convinced of this. But this dynamic often accompanying disorders, discrimination, hatred and violence .

diversity itself is neither a blessing nor a curse. It is simply a reality, something that can be put on record. The world is a mosaic of countless shades and our country, our provinces, our cities will be increasingly the image and likeness of the world. What matters is not whether we can live together despite differences of color, language or belief, what matters is knowing how to live together, how turn our diversity for the benefit and not calamity.

Living together is not something that comes from the inside men, the spontaneous reaction is usually to reject the other. To overcome this rejection is a need for prolonged work civic education. We must tirelessly repeat them and those that the identity of a country is not a blank page, where you can write whatever, or a page already written and printed. It is a page we're writing, there is a common heritage, institutions, values, traditions, a way of life, which every profess, but we all feel free to make our contribution on the basis of our own talents and our own sensibilities. recorded this message in the minds of today, from my point of view, the priority task of those who belong to the realm of culture.

Culture is not a luxury we can afford only in times Fausta. Its mission is to formulate the essential questions. About us Where are we going? What do we build? What company? What civilization? And based on what values? How to use the huge resources provided to us by science? How become tools of freedom and not slavery?

The role of culture is even more crucial in times misguided. And ours is an era gone astray. If we neglect this century just started will be a century of ethical decline, I say with regret, but do not say it lightly. It will be a century of scientific and technological progress, no doubt. But it will also reverse a century of ethics. Identity claims rages, violent on many occasions and in many cases, retrograde, it undermines the solidarity between nations and within nations, the European dream losing bellows, are eroded democratic values, is used too often to military operations and states of emergency ... Symptoms abound.

Before this setback in its infancy, we have no right to resign or give way to despair. Today what honors literature and honors us all is the attempt to understand the complexities of our time and to imagine possible solutions to continue living in our world. do not have a spare planet, we only have this old Earth, and it is our duty to protect it and make it harmonious and humane.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome given to me in this unforgettable ceremony "
