My friend suggestion
Yesterday, chkusiya and I enjoyed a couple of hours of long delayed conversation via skype. I love those chats between us. For me, our minds can be at the same time quite different or very similar, and everything she has to say always hits an unknown spot in my consciousness.
Since, we are what we are and we usually are inside ourselves we can very often fall in our own trap and spin in circles around a wrong idea or around a rotten stuffy thought. In those circumstances, being able to listen is a great advantage. It's true, I don't listen very often but yesterday I did, I think.
They say something about Russian people, something good you won't ever find in a Spaniard: for Russians, if someone is speaking they will listen till he ends and won't interrupt. That's a very polite behaviour that I'd like to follow too :)
"Treat every piece of art like a prince,
let him speak to you first."
So, my friend suggestion, and the reason of this entry existence is in part due to my previous entry. I told her how reading novels doesn't work for me lately, how I find almost impossible to read fiction but how at the same time I spend lot of hours reading articles and small essays about physics, philosophy, politics, economy and other sciences. Then she said:
"I think what you need is to DRAW."
(It always amazed me how she actually knows me and how she can remember all our conversations.)
There, she also said to me another important thing: Sometimes, when we need to stop and relax and our body is tired but we don't listen to its signals, our body forces us to relax. So, "Relax!", she said. And she was/is right.
This quick sketch I did just after my accident when I was confused and stressed.
And here I am.
I needed to accept that my job, that gives me all the fun possible, is also banning other important things from my life. Sometimes, they pile up and urgently ask me to get out of there and I don't listen. I was too speeded up lately that I needed to press the reset button.
I still have 2-3 more weeks before they take off this plaster in my right foot and I've decided to spend this time strengthening my inner peace. And, who knows? I'll probably try to draw something too ;)
