The Pasho Perspective
Ever feel like you're the only one who sees what's happening in the world? Ever feel frustrated over the appearance of the world's antipathy to its own demise? If so, do I have a podcast for you. At The Pasho Perspective, I strive to speak the truth. I strive to tell it as my heart feels it. I'm a Christian, married, father of three who likes to howl at the moon. I am ardently passionate about life and expect to cover all those things we find in the space between life and death. So please... turn up the volume, get comfortable, and join me. You can also support me and receive some merch from the podcast at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thepashoperspective
The Pasho Perspective
Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda (read by Pasho)
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I read Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda. Enjoy! God bless. Pacho's Chachos for life!
"One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII"
By Pablo Neruda Translated By Mark Eisner
I don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz,
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as one loves certain obscure things,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom but carries
the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself,
and thanks to your love the tight aroma that arose
from the earth lives dimly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you directly without problems or pride:
I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love,
except in this form in which I am not nor are you,
so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,
so close that your eyes close with my dreams.
Thank you for all of your support. God bless.
