The other day I woke up to this photo text that my client’s boyfriend took of her hiking in the mountains. I really do have the BEST JOB EVER!!! (p.s I do have permission to post this publicly, and she asked that this poem go with the photo).

Volver a los diecisietedespués de vivir un sigloes como descifrar signossin ser sabio competente.Volver a ser de repentetan frágil como un segundo,volver a sentir profundocomo un niño frente a Dios.Eso es lo que siento yoen este instante fecundo.

(translation via google)

Back at seventeen
after living a century
is like deciphering signs
competent without being wise.
Back to suddenly be
as fragile as a second,

to feel deep

as a child before God.
That’s how I feel
fruitful at this moment.

Violeta Parra,1917-1967.
Chilean poet, folk singer and artist.
