Hey life! Tell me now, how’s it going? Hurray! The rhythm of your world is created within your heart, and all your dreams are born within you. Tell me my life, can I get there? Everything awaits me! Follow me! Everything I need is within me. Dreams can get lost, so follow them. I am the strength within my heart and everything awaits me! Follow me! Life is what you make of it. Life lives within your heart. Oh! The rhythm of your life! The rhythm gives life and I move to the beat. Live in your heart!

Do you see the magic in my river? Mija, feel the drumming in my soul? My whisper rises from beneath this silenced silt chanting from inside these prayer-rubbed walls Echoes of my past hum between your heartbeats, Mijo, spark the colors of your life with the cadence of my song Breathe in the grandness of this unbound sky Allow your fragile breaths the growth of wings Listen carefully. You will hear a melody of meanings trickling in from the sweet smell of centuries from the whisper of the willow the moan of the oak the sassy humming of vigilant chicharras You will see a waterbird in flight, river’s treasure dripping from her sibylline wings. Feel its cool drops upon your face, baptizing you to life The wing of the anhinga bird will lift you, soul and spirit, past 12,000 summers of survival Mission walls will echo vibrant dreams, Mijitos, drumming from your wintery chest For these missions are not made of earth alone but of symphonic dust of stars singing dreams through all your veins and stubborn strength into your steps Even now my song is dancing between your footsteps my voice trembling into your bones
