| A quiet moment |
Noon has arrived
I looked up in the
heat of the day
And it was there!
It has come over the
Andes!
Through the streets
of Lima
Walking quietly over
the asphalt,
To my home in San
Juan Miraflores!
The day shall never
end I think.
Sister Marleny and
her nuns are coming.
It’s Betty’s
birthday.
After them, after
lunch, quiet moments
Will rise, and I
shall rest…
Where people do not
take delight
They, no fleshly
pleasures seek.

Note: Sleep and rest is a great gift of God, it allows the body to
regenerate, to process calmly and sort out what is in the mind, so often people
do not take delight in the little gifts, like a siesta, or a good night sleep,
or a simple visit from friends, or a birthday. Of such people truly s/he has
destroyed opportunities, becomes the ungrateful one.
