locked up ©riosik

–Fence closing an old well in the island of Chios, markings in the stone caused by the ropes that used to pull the water out. –

Most of the time we live locked up by our emotions. We fight for happiness, but the prisons we build for ourselves are pretty hard to break, and we dont even realize who has trapped us. For sure, almost certain about it, you are your own prisoner and jailer.

” Overcoming any negative emotional reaction or behavior begins with awareness. Awareness allows you to see that the projected stories in your mind are not true. When you have this clarity you no longer react to the scenarios that your mind imagines.  By changing what you believe you change what your imagination is projecting and you can eliminate these destructive emotional reactions.  Even when there is justification for the reaction, emotions as jealousy and anger are not beneficial ways to deal with the situation and get what we want.

To permanently dissolve the emotions such as anger and jealousy in relationships means changing the core beliefs of insecurity and mental projections of what the others are doing.

The steps to permanently end negative emotional reactions are:

1) Recovering personal power so that you can get control of your emotions and refrain from the reactive behavior.
2) Shift your point of view so that you can step back from the story in your mind. This will give you a gap of time in which to refrain from a jealous or angry reaction and do something else.
3) Identify the core beliefs that trigger the emotional reaction.
4) Become aware that the beliefs in your mind are not true. This is different than “knowing” intellectually that the stories are not true.
5) Develop control over your attention so you can consciously choose what story plays in your mind and what emotions you feel. “

fern ©riosik

Like a fern over a river we stare at life flow. Every leaf marks a moment or a day of our life, and a leaf at the tip, for the day of our death.

only in nature ©riosik

Only in nature we can search for ourselves. In nature we can find all the clues. We are animals, but our brains play strange games. In the few moments we were one, now I look desperately for myself.

How we perceive the things around us affects the way we think. How we think things are affects the way we act. How we act determines who we are. What we perceive make us what we are, and what we think , is later what we see. I am not who I think I am, but I am what I think I am.

Como vemos las cosas a nuestro alrededor afecta la manera en que pensamos. Como pensamos que son las cosas afecta a nuestros actos. Nuestros actos determinan quienes somos. Lo que percibimos crea lo que somos, y lo que pensamos, después lo vemos. No soy quien pienso que soy, pero soy lo que pienso que soy.

In love, maybe there is more than one way, maybe two, maybe more. Two boats and both take to the same place, but two boats that are different. There is river enough for many boats, but is there river enough fo you?

Βαθιά πληγή, παλιά πληγή Ηerida profunda, herida antigua
μονακριβή δική μου única preciosa mia,
την ξεριζώνω απ΄την καρδιά que arranco del corazon
φυτρώνει στην αυλή μου crece en mi patio

ανθίζει καταχείμωνο florece en mitad del invierno
που οι φωνές κοπάζουν cuando las voces se aplacan
έχει την φυλλωσιά πυκνή tiene el follaje denso
και νύχια που χαράζουν y uñas que rallan

Αγαπημένα πρόσωπα Caras queridas
αγαπημένα μάτια ojos queridos
έρχονται σαν τα κύμματα vienen como las olas
κι αφήνουν κατακάθια y dejan sedimentos

Μαραίνεται απ΄το γέλιο μου Se marchita por mi risa
πίνει απ’τα δάκρυα μου bebe de mis lagrimas
έρχεται στις παρέες μου viene en mi compañia
και κλέβει την μιλιά μου y roba mi habla

Βαθιά πληγή, παλιά πληγή Herida profunda, herida antigua
πες μου τι να κοιτάζω dime a que mirar
να μπω σε κόσμο σκοτεινό entrar en un mundo oscuro
ή πάλι ν’αγγαλιάσω? o abrazar de nuevo?

Παλιά πληγή  by Θ.Παπακωνσταντίνου

Tamed tiger ©riosik

“Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive…”

From Eye of the tiger by Survivor

fogueira de san xoan ©riosik

Forzas do ar, terra, mar e lume,
a vós fago esta chamada,
si é verdade que das miñas mans
poderei calmar a xente eiquí e agora,
facede que os espíritos dos amigos que están fóra
participen con nós desta queimada.

Trás mucho rumiar y rumiar la tesis acaba de acabar. Y de vacas gordas de Dinamarca, en un papel tapiz de güindous, a vacas sagradas voy!
