EXPECTANT
We should have seen it coming
The future is not hard to predict
Death is and must be
We try so hard to pretend
Life is less than it is
Lest wanting more
We find ourselves
Profoundly
Disappointed.
FORGIVENESS
requires putting aside the ego to
acknowledge
the inter-connection of
one human being
to another.
HOW OLD?
Ask me my age and I’ll tell you
          True
I’m somewhere between
Birth and Death
          Are you?
GOOD AND BAD
The strong negative is necessary
In order to see the redeeming positive
Clearly.
LAST CARD
With every closing of a door
There is another door that opens
In new space of mind
Only courage required
To take the step
The crossing of the threshold
On the verge of a salient dream.

How to add an image to this work

Besides sending your opinion about this work, you can add a photo (or more than one) to this page in three simple steps:

  1. Find a photo related with this text at Flickr and, there, add the following tag: (machine tag)

    To tag photos you must be a member of Flickr (don’t worry, the basic service is free).

    Choose photos taken by yourself or from The Commons. You may need special privileges to tag photos if they are not your own. If the photo wasn’t taken by you and it is not from The Commons, please ask permission to the author or check that the license authorizes this use.

  2. Once tagged, check that the new tag is publicly available (it may take some minutes) clicking the following link till your photo is shown: show photos ...

  3. Once your photo is shown, you can add it to this page:

Even though Badosa.com does not display the identity of the person who added a photo, this action is not anonymous (tags are linked to the user who added them at Flickr). Badosa.com reserves the right to remove inappropriate photos. If you find a photo that does not really illustrate the work or whose license does not allow its use, let us know.

If you added a photo (for example, testing this service) that is not really related with this work, you can remove it deleting the machine tag at Flickr (step 1). Verify that the removal is already public (step 2) and then press the button at step 3 to update this page.

Badosa.com shows 10 photos per work maximum.
