My emotions (text)

If I'm feeling depressed, I'll sing.

If I feel sad, I'll laugh.

If I feel sick, I'll work harder.

If I'm afraid, I'll step forward.

If I feel inferior, I'll dress with new clothes.

If I feel insecure, I'll speak louder.

If I feel poor, I'll think of wealth to come.

If I feel incompetent, I'll recall past successes.

If I feel insignificant, I'll remember my goals.

If I feel all-powerful, I'll try to stop the wind.

If I become wealthy, I'll recall a starving mouth.

If I feel excessively proud, I'll recall a moment of weakness.

If I go through moments of greatness, I'll recall moments of embarrassment.

If excessive confidence takes me over, I'll recall my failures.

Today, I'll be master of my emotions. 

The original text isn't mine (I just translated it), but liked it enough to share it. As usual, take what works for you, leave out the rest.

He asked...

 

The other night I dreamed with the Dalai Lama, and "there" he asked me:

What makes a cat turn into tiger... what makes tiger happy?

my pic, your quote

I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it... I always want to see the third dimension of something... I want to come alive with the object.

Andrew Wyeth

towards the Sun

You are a dream that found its way into reality

You are this heart born into mine, beating my spirit to life

You are the reason of my past 
an illusion for my present and a link to my future

You are the bearer of every possibility... 

and the reaching hand pulling me towards the Sun

my tree (imagery)

There's an image that has haunted me for a very long time now. It is an image that I'd paint everywhere if I knew how to paint.

I close my eyes and see it. The sky is light blue with a hint of pink. The night's falling.

... Should I share this image with you? All of a sudden I feel like I'm letting go of a treasure...

I once read that we only loose what we keep to us, and we only gain what we give away. So, yes. I'll give away my image.

From where I'm standing, all I can see on my sides is a green-turning-orange plain, a huge, vast plain. But there's a hill in front of me. Against the sky, on top of the hill, there's a single tree.

The tree is there alone but it's so rich. It has many, many branches. It's beautiful, leafy. Really, it's an amazing tree. Very tall, too. The cold wind moves it's leafs and branches. It is there all alone. On the top, alone.

It is a nostalgic view. Who's there to see the beauty of it all? The sky, the plain, the hill... the colors.

Who's there to feel it?

After seeing this image, after dreaming with it and thinking of it whenever I see something similar for years, I wonder... Why does this nostalgic view make me feel so peaceful and satisfied?

Am I the tree? Am I the missing spectator? Am I the night falling to hide it? Maybe it represents my mission in life somehow... who knows.

Who knows.

when night falls, my mind shifts

What is this? -READ!!!

my soul

my heart

 my mind

This blog is all about my vision of the world and what I feel: My colors. 

You'll find posts about everything and anything - mostly poems, which are mostly for a He :) - but, in general, whatever crosses my mind. 


Almost everything is in English, even though Spanish is my first language and I'm in love with it. 

The first reason for this is the most obvious: readers. It doesn't matter what language you speak, chances are you'll also know at least some English. Also, many of my friends are non-Spanish speakers.

Second, I'm professionally bound to the language. I must learn and practice it. 

And lastly, but perhaps more importantly, for some odd reason it is way easier for me to share what I feel in English. There's something about exteriorizing yourself in a foreign language... It sounds more romantic to you, it favors denial -in a sense- and it certainly helps you to think twice about what you want to say and how to do it.

Not easy but I happen to be addicted to thinking and challenges... among other things.

Welcome to a piece of my world. I hope you enjoy it :)
