Water Tower to Chicago


Every skyscraper in Chicago is a continuation of the story skyscrapers, which began for the city in 1885 with the construction of houses for home insurance (Home Insurance Building). "Tower" height of 42 meters (plus two floors were added in 1891, bringing the height to 50 meters) was the first building in the world, exceeding the level in the five floors. New Water Tower (Aqua Tower) - another mark on the map. Its height of 250 meters, is a unique sculptural facade of a building, creating the illusion of waves.

Vocation to Happiness


Don't write verses weeping, singing endless sorrows,
impossible love, longing painful, tragic passions and unmatched.

I have the vocation to happiness.
Being happy doesn't bring me guilt.
I don't need to justify the sad futility of life.
I need not die and go to heaven to find happiness.
I want it and have it land in this space of the here and now.
Happiness, just like the love is within me
And overflows in tenderness, in melodies, in endearments, in joy, in songs and charms.
I'm happy and not have to justify myself.
Smile without seeing green bird.
Not afraid to be happy.
I make my star shine.
Without fear of encounters, misunderstandings, charms and disappointments that love tells me.

Annoyances? I have them.
And who doesn't have them in secular life?
Shortage of money? Nor is it good to talk
Unrequited love? Separations?
Rejections? Incurable homesickness?
Repressed affections, tenderness saved without the party against the other?
I've been to heaps.
I'm the queen of losses necessary for my growth.

But the shadow did not know who doesn't know the light.
And in mathematics book existential joined all these unsolved problems,
with answers in the back pages.
But why would I dwell on them, looking for the solution if life itself leads me
to the final answer?

Without fear I will be happy here and there where the paths and trails,
The shortcuts take me, tracing my path.
Sometimes with some sadness, but who said that happiness
is the opposite of sadness?
Sadness is just a momentary lack of joy!

You, my friend, tomorrow is always another day
And when the misfortune to come by, my bags will be ready for me to go there.
