The Dog’s Dilemmas

Memoirs of a Guardian, Laura’s Legacy

You Know Me

The Principle of Consciousness

An investigation into the nature of consciousness, questioning whether we are the same person when we wake up and where what truly defines us resides.

The Soul

A reflection on the impossibility of defining the soul and the celebration of the real processes that allow us to think, love, and exist.

To Be or Not to Be Human

A reflection on the violence intrinsic to human beings, our failure to adapt to the planet, and the irony of being our own predator.

Transcending Time and Space

A reflection on humanity's capacity to overcome the impossible and love as the only force capable of transcending time and space.

XI. Judge One Another

A reflection on social invisibility, the fear of judgment, and the impossibility of comprehending the totality of another's reality.

XII. Judge Yourselves

On how the judgment of others reveals more about the one who judges than about the one being judged, and the danger of living a reality that is not your own.

Convoluted Revolt

In your mouth there is democracy. There is dictatorship. Forget the sensuality of the tongue. That appeases the naked and pure flesh

Gray Soul

Gray. Yes, no, yes and no. Neutral or not, light or not. Yes, maybe. Neither white, nor black. Light is not, dark isn't. Gray.

A toast to time

A poem about time as the godfather of love. Between skeptical dawns and storms that veil the moon, two hearts learn together that being foolish before time is the most honest way to love.

Your presence

For years, I captivated senses and emotions, which I left confined in their fortress, isolated. It was enough for your eyes to simply meet mine for the walls of anguish to crumble.
