On December 19th of 2013 I was again in a plane in a journey to see my family across the ocean. It began on a cloudy day. As I was already seated and ready for the departure I started to ponder the travel ahead of me. Little time had I for my thoughts since the loudspeakers of the plane started to roar to announce that we were ready for take off. The usual procedure..the security guidelines and all....

The great quest of mastering oneself
Posted by Angel Canizales on 9:42 AM
"To master people takes force, but to master yourself takes strength."
These words of Lao Tzu that I encountered correspond very well with the events of my life during this week. Today I'd like to explore the topic of the self discipline, specifically about how we react about our feelings; feelings that appear as a result of interactions or situations in our life that more than once take over...

Iunctis palabra del latín que quiere decir "conectados", la elegí como el titulo del post de hoy ya que esta semana quiero escribir un poco acerca de una aparentemente inexplicable conexión entre los seres humanos.

Acerca de la amistad
Posted by Angel Canizales on 4:39 AM
Esta semana recibí la visita de un amigo que hacía casi un año no veía. Aunque solo estuvo en la ciudad un día y medio pasé un tiempo agradable con conversación, comida y un par de cervezas a la margen del río.

Dia de muertos
Posted by Angel Canizales on 12:00 PM
Día de muertos es mi celebración favorita. Es la mas llena de color y la que más representa el espíritu de las familias de los mexicanos. Hoy escribo mi calavera con motivo de este día.
Estaba un día la muerte reposando en su sillón,
cuando vió que era día de muertos,
