!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD.

Quit While 

You're Ahead

The Word Alive

Just as fast as you found the waves have crashed down around me

I'm still searching but out of place. I need your help, I need your grace.

When will this battle end or does it ever end at all.
And we fear what we can't seem to understand.
We believe what we allow ourselves, our selfish lies in the end.
We believe what we allow ourselves, our selfish lies in the end.
But is this the end.
I feel like the word is getting the best of me and it's getting hard to breathe.
I've never been afraid I've never been ashamed.
So let it be. I pray my God you keep me.
If this is my last chance to believe, I'll believe.
The threat of losing all I know is gone.
You can't judge me! You can't save me!
You can't love me so quite while you're ahead!
You've betrayed me now let me go. You've betrayed me I'm letting you know...
The things that you love will consume you.
The fire swallows you whole if you can't make your choice.

  1. But is this the end.

    Listen to what your heart tells you before it's too late.
    It's crying out to love, but is the risk to great?
