'Tango is a therapy that liberates the soul.'
''Tango es una terapia que hace liberar el alma.'
Jorge Luis Borges
"The tango is a direct expression of something that poets have often tried to state in words: the belief that a struggle may be a celebration. "
“El Tango es la directa expresión de lo que comúnmente los poetas han tratado de definir en palabras como: la creencia de que la lucha puede ser un festejo”
Ricardo Vidort
When you dance tango you must give everything.
If you can't do that, do not dance.
My Voice Will Go With You: The Teaching Tales of Milton H. Erickson, M.D.
I love his ideas, such as: encouraging resistance, providing a worse alternative, encouraging a response by frustrating it, seeding ideas, amplifying a deviation and prescribing a symptom.
John O'Donohue in The Sun, April 2007
"Yes, most things that are true and lasting have a symmetry between inside and out. Your outward relationship toward your beloved, if it is not mirrored internally by a loving relationship with yourself, is reduced and limited. You end up scraping from him or her what you are not giving yourself. But if you are nourished at your own table, you do not need so desperately to be fed by someone else; consequently, you can be free and open with that person."

"There is an unseen life that dreams us: it knows our true direction and destiny. We can trust ourselves more than we realize, and we need have no fear of change."
'Tomorrow' by David Budbill from While We've Still Got Feet: New Poems
Tomorrow
we are
bones and ash,
the roots of weeds
poking through
our skulls.
Today,
simple clothes,
empty mind,
full stomach,
alive, aware,
right here,
right now.
Drunk on music,
who needs wine?
Come on,
Sweetheart,
let's go dancing
while we've still
got feet.
Epigraph at the beginning of The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge by Carlos Castaneda
Para mi solo recorrer los caminos qe tienen corazon, cualquier camino que tenga corazon. Por ahi yo recorro, y la unica prueba que vale es atravesar todo su largo. Y por ahi yo recorro mirando, mirando, sin aliento.
(For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly.)
–Don Juan
