Waverly Weaving

And in this belief Lucy reposed her hope, and went on weaving her enchanted web of fairy tissue, as beautiful and transient as the film of the gossamer when it is pearled with the morning dew, and glistening to the sun.

The Bride of Lammermore
Sir Walter Scott

Soneto a Cristo crucificado

No me mueve, mi Dios, para quererte
el cielo que me tienes prometido,
ni me mueve el infierno tan temido
para dejar por eso de ofenderte.

Tu me mueves, Senor! Mueveme el verte
clavado en una cruz y escarnecido;
meveme ver tu cuerpo tan herido;
muevenme tus afrentas y tu muerte.

Mueveme, al fin, tu amor, y en tal manera,
que aunque no hubiera cielo, yo te amara,
y aunque no hubiera infierno, te temiera.

No me tienes que dar porque te quiera,
pues aunque lo que espero no esperara,
lo mismo que te quiero te quisiera.

Atribuido a Miguel de Guevara, s. 17

Teamwork

I had learned another lesson, an important one: You have the right to use a doctor who shows you respect and listens to your observations. You should feel comfortable teaching her what you know and learning from her expertise and experience. You should have confidence in her judgment not because she has a medical degree, but because you know her to be fair as well as responsible. You should be able to trust her not to ridicule your ideas and to give you all of the information you need to make intelligent decisions. If you cannot, then it is your responsiblitiy to find another doctor.
