Dancing

I used to think
I did not want any complications
I did like to believe
hardworking fills all my expectations.

But there is a difference
between protecting my heart
and just stop living
from my life quite a part.

I can not tell you
I have figured out all the answers
I just ask to be two
to forge them as a couple of dancers.

A way to your smile

I wish I could
just by looking at your astral chart
have a glimpse of your soul,
of how you feel deep in your heart.

Regarding me I can tell you
I’m tired of just breathing
and trying to survive.

I’m leaving a past age
rediscovering what makes me human.
I want face a real challenge
instead of dealing with an imaginary one.

Just let me sow your dreams
with sunflowers for a while.
Let your sight become two beams
that enlighten the way to your smile.

New dawn

Talk to me in a way
the vibration of your whispers
and the warm in your breathe
tells me more than just phrases.

I want you not to hide
like a majayura any longer.
The fears that used to frighten you
you can face now you are stronger.

Just look at me in a fashion
you can tell how your touch makes me feel
just by seeing the reaction
through my eyes without a veil.

Let me reach you in a manner
you can enter my life
and make real the beautiful dawn
that I can see in your eyes.

Looking at you

The first time we met each other
you looked at me just like
you remembered me from your dreams.
Now, when I remember you
I feel I am looking at you in my dreams
for the very first time.

I would like to remember you again from my dreams
I would like you meet me again for the first time.
I won't pretend,
I won't lie,
I shall just show you who I really am,
while my heart is breezing through my fears
while I looking at you in the eye.

A dreamed mate II

Vladimir : Thank you very much for your comment. It will be a real challenge to debate your arguments. You said "I think everyone is in permanent evolution", and this is the way it should be, but I'm afraid there is people who seems to be stucked in a stage of his/her evolution. That's exactly the reason why El Marqués and I were so surprised when our friends got married with their girlfriends: those girls don't seem to be smarter, or wiser, or skillful or more interesting in any way than when we first met them, several years ago. However, I agree with you: when I described a mate who evolves permanently I meant a mate who makes me proud of her. I believe a good way to do it is adapting to normal changes in your environment and finding new challenges to improve. Unfortunately, I've already met a few people like this, so I KNOW as a matter of fact they are real and to dream of someone like this is not an impossible whim.
          Most people just get accustomed to comfort and I don't like that (I hope I would never behave this way).
          Additionally, you said "Sooner or later beauty will vanish". I think you said this under the assumption that youth = beauty (there is an age for beauty). However, I think there is a beauty for each age: a baby girl could be beauty but not in the same fashion a grown woman could be. A number of grandmothers are beauty in their own way as well, and you can say probably they should be hot in their teen years. Of course most people won't be attracted in a sexual way by a baby girl or most grandmothers (anyway I don't), but sex-appeal is an acceptable demand at my age. However, I really don't expect that a mate will be sex-appealing no matter her age (that's more a demand from the consumption society than mine) but I do expect she keep her healthy and beauty according to her age. I'm trying to do the same, stop dressing myself as a teenager and choosing a look I could like which is according to my age.
          On the other hand, you said "you don't want to spend years thinking you need to ‘become a better person' to ‘deserve' your girl". I completely agree with you, just my bad writing betrayed me. I think every human being deserves to be loved (fortunately I've been) but I would like to be loved by someone I fall in love with. It's not a matter of deserving your mate's love (as you pointed out, true love is by definition unconditioned) is just I like challenging women. I guess my doom is to fall in love with Brynhildr, the valkyrie who only would love the warrior who could defeat her in combat... ha, ha, ha :)
          So, if I want an interesting mate, I should be interesting to her eyes at least. I don't imply if she is a good tennis player I should beat her in every match. I just mean I should have some attribute that makes her feel admiration about me, no matter if it is about a completely different field than hers.

A dreamed mate

Talking to El Marqués, we were exchanging impressions about several friends of each one who are getting married or even having kids. The annoying thing about it was no one is older than us, but they took the BIG STEP when we don't even have a girlfriend.
          We both were surprised since our friends' espouses don't seems to be especially smart, charming, pretty or at least industrious. When we asked our respective friends their reasons to get married, they didn't claim to be deeply in love or mad about their couples but in a state of trust and comfort with their future wives. Is this the end of the road? To marry someone which main attribute is to be known well enough to inspire trust and comfort? I can't speak for El Marqués, but I think I would be bored by someone like that, even before the wedding. My point is I don't visualize myself marrying someone who doesn't inspire me stronger feelings than just trust and comfort.
          In first place, I would like a woman in permanent evolution, someone who learns about things I don't know and, for example, surprises me with the new article that is writing, the new art that is learning or the new stage in her career that is attaining. No matter how long you have met this woman, I think you'll never be able to claim to know her entirely.
          In second place, I would like a woman who takes care about her appearance. I'm not asking for someone who spends half life in a gym or in a hairdresser's shop or on a surgery table but someone with healthy enough habits like to be good looking without have to hide herself under tons of makeup or fancy clothing. However, if she looks like a prom queen, I won't be mad at it at all. .. ;)
          In third place, such a woman has to be quite challenging. Since I'll feel compelled to deserve her I think I would be strongly encouraged to improve myself. I know this should be a goal I try to achieve for my own sake (independently from who I am with) but I believe the process is easier if you have a couple who shares your main goals and is the living proof of why you are trying to attain them.
          In fourth place I would put the feeling of trust and comfort as a reason to marry someone. It's quite important since a marriage is exactly like a business where you need a partner who doesn't let you down, no matter how hard the circumstances could become. Notice I didn't forget this reason our friends argued; I just don't think it for itself is enough to get married.
          In conclusion, I would marry a girlfriend whit whom I fell in love AND improves herself permanently AND encourages me to be better than I am, not just someone with I feel comfortable or due I'm too lazy to start again the difficult process of find someone I really like.

Why myths are important?

A myth is most times a symbolic representation of reality, and it's intended to be a guide that helps us to deal with life's challenges.

In first place, myths have been used by humans since oral tradition exists, long time before writing was invented. In its primitive origins, myths used to speak about forces of nature, then evolved to stories about gods and heroes. The purpose of those stories was people learned some universal true deducted through observation of human behavior or constants in how Nature works. Those stories was made in a format of kind of condensed and exaggerated study case where the characters make decision and we can be witness of how those decisions worked in the context of the story, thus we be able to compare the results with the goals the characters tried to achieve.

In my opinion, it's more enjoyable to listen this kind of story than simply listen the conclusion, but in addition most myths provide a context and some sort of circumstances that might be extrapolated and compared with real life situations.

However, myths are far from being just a simple collection of success stories supporting a methodology related with successful living. In first place, myths are encoded in order to reach our unconscious. Actually, those stories shows astonishing tragedies or inspiring epic journeys (sometimes they mix both) that are very unlikely to be faced by a regular human being in his/her lifetime. However this sort of exaggeration is useful to highlight the most relevant attributes of characters and situations in order to be processed not by our conscious but by our unconscious. It seems to be easier for the unconscious to process symbolic representations of reality than the real thing. This is important because myths are made to warn us about danger or to bring us hope, and if unconscious is aware of these messages then I guess our response to life's challenges would be the desired one in a more natural or automatic fashion than when a similar situation is just remembered by the conscious.

On the other hand, if myths weren't important then they would be forgotten long time ago. Indeed, nowadays most of old myths like Noah's Ark, Gilgamesh's journey, Ulysses' adventures , King Oedipus' tragedy or Romeo and Juliet's story still being popular. In addition, year after year people create new myths, which is the case of The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, The Matrix, X-Men, Superman and a long etcetera. All those Twentieth Century's myths are in part so seductive because they follows the same encoding than ancient myths. And they worked as well as old myths still doing.

In conclusion, myths are important for people because they enlighten us about how to deal with life in an unconscious level, and their effectiveness is proven by ancient myths which still working as well as the new ones.
