okonkwo was deeply grieved. And it was not just a personal grief. He mourned for the clan, which he saw breaking up and falling apart...

Things fall Apart

"It is already to late... our own men and our sons have joined the ranks of the stranger. They have joined his religion and upheld his government. If we should try to drive out the white man in Umuofia we should find it easy. There are only two of them. But what of our own people who are following their way and have been given power.

Things fall apart

“Muere lentamente quien se transforma en esclavo del hábito,
repitiendo todos los días los mismos trayectos.                                                                          Muere lentamente quién deja escapar un posible amor,
con tal de no hacer el esfuerzo de hacer que éste crezca.                                                           Muere lentamente  quien no viaja, quien no lee
quien no oye música, quien no encuentra gracia en si mismo…”

De la ilusion

Escribiste en la tabla de mi corazon:
desea.
Y yo anduve dias y dias
loco y aromado y triste.

Simone,

You can never make the wrong decision, you can just make new decisions.

I knew it was only a shadow and the angle of the sun, but its still frightening when things you love appear suddenly changed from what you have always known.
