English

On the street, cold and wet

Will translate this eventually - we are, after all, bloody lazy and too poor to spend time in internet cafes instead of on beer!

A lady came by, read the signs and asked me if I’m happy. “Yes. I think so,” I replied, to which she told me she wasn’t - she had the permanent job, house etc. but wasn’t happy.”

She sat down (her face reflecting sadness) and I told her that if she didn’t like her life she should change it and she told me that she was going to change the house and see if that helped.

I pointed out that it’s not enough to change like that - that you have to change the way you think. That solitude is something one has to learn to use to improve life - change must come from within and not from anybody or anything outside.

Cold and wet, I’m still on the street.

Cold and happy, because maybe I’ve helped someone

Castellano

Frio y mojado estoy en la calle

Una mujer se acerca, lee los carteles y me pregunta si soy felíz. Le respondo que si, se queda pensando y me dice que ella no lo es; tiene trabajo fijo, casa etc. pero no es felíz.

Se sienta sola (su cara refleja tristeza). Yo digo que si no le gusta su vida que la cambie y ella me cuenta que va a cambiar de casa y eso a lo mejor le ayuda.

Le puntualizo que esp no es suficiente que tiene que cambiar de forma de pensar y que la soledad es algo que tiene que aprender a utilizar para mejorar su vida y que el cambio ha de venir del interior y no de nadie ni nada externo a uno

Frio y mojado sigo en la calle

Frio y contento, porque a lo mejor a alguien he ayudado.
