This week and last I've undergone some disconcerting events that have kept me from assimilating A Healthy Mind, A Healthy Body, A Healthy Spirit, A Healthy Heart, and A Healthy Soul, health in its entirety.

Is it really true that not a single human being in this planet has never had it all, doesn't have it all and will NEVER have it all!? In my case, I don't desire it all, what I want is to know that my spirit won't ever run dry, and that someone out there shares my same vision, goal, passion, purpose, just like Ayn Rand once stated.
As usual, I will look for shelter in my own sanctuary: Praying, playing with words (writing) and working myself to death!

Mens Sana In Corpore Sano

Orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano.

fortem posce animum mortis terrore carentem,

qui spatium vitae extremum inter munera ponat

naturae, qui ferre queat quoscumque labores,

nesciat irasci, cupiat nihil et potiores

Herculis aerumnas credat saevosque labores

et venere et cenis et pluma Sardanapalli.

monstro quod ipse tibi possis dare; semita certe

tranquillae per virtutem patet unica vitae.

–Roman poet Juvenal (10.356-64)

You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.

Ask for a stout heart that has no fear of death,

and deems length of days the least of Nature's gifts

that can endure any kind of toil,

that knows neither wrath nor desire and thinks

the woes and hard labors of Hercules better than

the loves and banquets and downy cushions of Sardanapalus.

What I commend to you, you can give to yourself;

For assuredly, the only road to a life of peace is virtue.

Se debe orar a los dioses que nos concedan una mente sana en un cuerpo sano.

Pedir un alma fuerte que carezca de miedo a la muerte,

que considere el espacio de vida restante entre los regalos de la naturaleza

que pueda soportar cualquier clase de esfuerzos,

que no sepa de ira, y esté libre de deseos

y crea que las adversidades y los trabajos terribles de Hércules son mejores que las satisfacciones, la fastuosa cena y la cama placentera de plumas de Sardanápalo.

Te muestro lo que tú mismo puedes darte, con certeza de que la virtud es la única senda para una vida tranquila.
