My daughter, Bryn Rodriguez, and her husband Andrés,
shared the following poems at their wedding on April 18, 2011 in Costa Rica. The second poem,
Culture, was written by my wife, Megan Tschannen-Moran. Enjoy!
Nature
|
Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth
You owe me
Imagine what happens
With a love like that
It lights up the whole sky!
~ Hafiz |
Incluso después de todo este tiempo
El sol nunca le dice a la tierra
Me debes
Imagínense lo que sucede
Con un amor como aquel
Ilumina todo el cielo!~ Hafiz |
Culture
|
The places that you come from
Are quite different from my own.
The well-worn patterns
of daily life
Reflect the history of your people –
What they loved and what mattered enough to die for.
The paths you traveled,
That brought you to this place,
Were bordered by different vistas, hills, and streams.
Yet, when my eyes
met yours,
in the crisp morning air,
You smiled, and I was glad.
~ Megan Tschannen-Moran |
Los lugares de los que vienes
Son muy diferentes de las míos.
Los patrones muy conocidos
de la vida cotidiana
Reflejan la historia de tu pueblo –
Lo que ellos amaban y lo que importaba lo suficiente como para morir por
ello.
Las rutas que viajaste,
Que te trajeron a este lugar,
Tuvieron como límite diferentes vistas,
cerros y arroyos.
Sin embargo, cuando mi mirada
se cruzó con la tuya,
en el aire de la
mañana crujiente,
Sonreíste, y me alegré.~ Megan Tschannen-Moran |
Adventure
Deep inside the mountain
the adventures hide themselves.
They are of all forms and shapes.
They all have an excellent ending,
because those who live their lives
in adventure
see the world
in an extra ordinary way.
To attract the adventures into
the patterns of habit
we only need to close our eyes
and ask them to embrace us.
Life itself is certainly
a grand adventure
if only we have the eyes to see.
~ Anonymous, adapted |
Dentro de la montaña
las aventuras se esconden.
Son de todas las formas y figuras.
Todas ellas tienen un final excelente,
porque los que viven sus vidas
en aventura
ven el mundo
de una manera extraordinaria.
Para atraer a las aventuras en
los patrones de hábito
sólo tenemos que cerrar los ojos
y pedirles que nos abracen.
La vida misma es sin duda
una gran aventura
si sólo tenemos ojos para verla.~ Anónimo, adaptado |
