I identify myself with Nature: the symbol of our fate. Our natural landscape is a purifying exercise: it gives free rein to our fears and hopes, the imprints of our ancestors, the echoes of peoples and civilizations long gone.
I hold the romantic view of nature which gives me a sonorous loneliness, where my subjective imagination creates unspeakable, ineffable , unheard-of worlds full of reminiscences of the past.
I´m always overwhelmed by Nature, a passion, an enduring emotion without ideas. The integral way to educate humans is by taking us closer to the natural landscape/ our natural surroundings...as Nature is an open book waiting for both sensitive and sensible people to interpret it rghtly...

A SCHOOL RAP

(Thanks to Ángel Rivera)

Try to make up your own rap as below:

"THEY´VE TOLD ME THAT I´M A FAILURE:I DIDN´T PASS. STOP!

DOING MATHS AND SOCIAL SCIENCE WAS NOT EASY

TOO MANY NUMBERS, TOO MUCH HISTORY I GOT CRAZY

THIS IS A GAME AND I HAVE NOT YET LOST

I´VE FOUGHT AGAINST MY LANGUAGE TEACHER AND DESTROYED ´M

COMPARED TO ME HE´S JUST A TOY

I DON´T WANT TO INSULT TEACHERS, ABOVE ALL ENJOY

NOT ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS FOR WHAT I DO, I´M A B-BOY

MY NEXT VICTIM IS THE TEACHER OF MATHEMATICS

MY NUMBERS ARE BAD BUT MY RHYMES FANTASTIC

WITH MY MUSIC I WILL GIVE HIM A STROKE

HE SENT TOO MUCH HOMEWORK AND I WAS ALREADY EXHAUSTED

I FELT ABOVE IN CLASS AND OUTSIDE HE SMOKED

I FELT HIGHER, QUITE NORMAL ,THAT GUY WILL SOON RETIRE

I KEEP ON SINGING SO THAT YOURSELVES REMAIN CLOSE

IN THIS ART IT´S CLEAR I´M THE BOSS

DOING THIS BECAUSE I´M THE CLASS LEADER

PEOPLE TELL ME THAT THEY FREAK OUT, THEY CHILL OUT...

THIS HAS JUST BEEN ONE OF MY RAPS

BEWARE OF SCHOOL THERE ARE MANY TRAPS

AT LEAST THAT´S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AT SCHOOL

I CAN SINCERELY TELL YOU I´M NO FOOL....

I´LL SAY IT CLEAR AND LOUD

I´M THE NERJA RAP MASTER AND AM PROUD....

CHANGE YOUR WORDS TO CHANGE YOUR WORLD

(Wittgenstein´s theory "the limits of my world are restricted by the boundaries of my words") See the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis..."Thought is a bird caged in the prison of words"
If instead of "queer" you use "gay" you are giving a more positive outlook on a widespread natural phenomenon.So, try to see the glass half full. Use positively enhancing words and avoid negativity in your ordinary speech.
