Good morning fellow travelers

Today, I want to play with the idea of life as a trap.

More specifically relating it to the mind and heart. Since time immemorial,

Hope you like that nice literary reference! Since in my case I have not been able to comply with basics expectations in life, I have been forced To look for a different way to make sense of it, which has led me to Eastern religions or philosophy I were you may want to look at it.

So today I want to play with the idea of a meaningful trap. How in life there may be tools to help you move on from where you are to a higher place of understanding then the very idea that, that which was then so useful has become obsolete, and looking for a new trap to keep going on the ascension of the Impossible Mountain.

Hopefully some of it might prove useful to some of you and remember that

Today's the first day of the rest of your life

Good morning fellow travelers,

Let's see today, where I go with these very idea of "dreaming a new life".

As I am about to embark on my Camino,

I reflect more and more on

what I am living behind and

what I hunger for,

A lot of it has to do with

what has happened to me in

the last year and a half in southern Spain, The dear friends that I have met and with whom I have transformed

who I thought I was,

who I have now become and

who I would like to be in the future.

Hopefully those reflections won’t go

all over the place,

however likely that is to be and

I hope that some of it will be useful

to someone out there.

And like always, don't forget that…

Today's the first day of the rest of your life life

Ne me quitte pas

Il faut oublier

Tout peut s'oublier

Qui s'enfuit déjà

Oublier le temps

Des malentendus

Et le temps perdu

À savoir comment

Oublier ces heures

Qui tuaient parfois

À coups de pourquoi

Le cœur du bonheur

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Moi, je t'offrirai

Des perles de pluie

Venues de pays

Où il ne pleut pas

Je creuserai la terre

Jusqu'après ma mort

Pour couvrir ton corps

D'or et de lumière

Je ferai un domaine

Où l'amour sera roi

Où l'amour sera loi

Où tu seras reine

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Je t'inventerai

Des mots insensés

Que tu comprendras

Je te parlerai

De ces amants-là

Qui ont vu deux fois

Leurs cœurs s'embraser

Je te raconterai

L'histoire de ce roi

Mort de n'avoir pas

Pu te rencontrer

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

On a vu souvent

Rejaillir le feu

De l'ancien volcan

Qu'on croyait trop vieux

Il est, paraît-il

Des terres brûlées

Donnant plus de blé

Qu'un meilleur avril

Et quand vient le soir

Pour qu'un ciel flamboie

Le rouge et le noir

Ne s'épousent-ils pas?

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Je ne vais plus pleurer

Je ne vais plus parler

Je me cacherai là

À te regarder

Danser et sourire

Et à t'écouter

Chanter et puis rire

Laisse-moi devenir

L'ombre de ton ombre

L'ombre de ta main

L'ombre de ton chien

Mais

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Good morning fellow travelers,

Today, on we go with the word compromise,

The word that has been coming in and out of my life quite a bit over the years and still very pertinent up to this day.

It comes back from Friends, loved and many many many times and today I would like to play a little bit with it so…

And by the way, don't forget that,

Today is the first day of the rest of your life

Good morning fellow travelers,

Once more today I'm going to play with the judge, a theme that has been present and of which I have been obsessed for quite a while now.

Something that I may not have shared before has to do with authenticity.

There are people around whom I just get so irritated when I hear them talking and it feels like Garbage spewing out of their mouth.

Here we are one more week, one more day, curious to see what will come up today right… folks i wish you a great day, grateful for the possibility to share my thoughts and reflections on my life as it unfolds.

And don't forget that...

Today is the first day of the rest of your life

Good morning fellow travelers,

Today, want to talk about one of my favorite movies.

Dead poets society… Very influential movie in my late teens, actually early teenage years.

Hopefully for those of you, who have not already seen it, I will not give away too much but do encourage you to check it out.

It is definitely one of my favorite favorite movies with Robin Williams in it

I like the sensibility expressed in there.

Of course I could not help but include, I guess in a parallel kind of way, some thoughts and feeling about the actual love of my life instead of the Danbury girl in the movie.

Hopefully some of that was not too distracting and, who knows, may have actually helped give some brush strokes of colors to my little humble review of that movie.

Wish you a great day and remember that

Today is the first day of the rest of your life

Good morning fellow travelers,

Today I want to share with you something that happened yesterday on the beach in south of Spain and the best way that I could describe it would be one of the most powerful emotional state that I've ever gone through. I'm hoping that some of it may prove useful, might resonate with somebody else out there.

Like always thank you for being part of my journey and being a willing year and remember that

Today's the first day of the rest of your life

Good morning fellow travelers,

Today again I will strike while the iron is hot and talk about the topic at hand which is the tide of my heart. The love of my life, that beautiful person toward whom I feel things that I have never felt for anybody else.

I call her my spiritual muse and as an extra little gift I thought I would share another one of my award-winning recording of the Beatles “all my loving”.

Hope all of you are doing well and remember that

Today is the first day of the rest of your life

Good morning fellow travelers,

Today I will talk about a little dish of mine with lentils, onions, mushrooms, greens and you name it.

And also about an upcoming event happening later today, hopefully...

Hope this podcast finds you well, courageous and hungry and curious on the funny part of life. And don't forget that

today Is the first day of the rest of your life

Good morning fellow travelers,

Here is a little bland of things,

This Story/poem that I wrote a while back I wanted to share with you, of course this is Wednesday artist corner so here is one of my recording “ and I love her” by The Beatles and my little ranting actually happened yesterday evening as I became aware of some news that stirred my heart.

Remember that

Today is the first day of the rest of your life

It

It has been a while since I felt that itch

That lone wolf with its mouth muzzled

Yes, alone as it maybe, he still,

Stands strong and proud

No noise need to be uttered,

Nothing to be accomplished,

To be said or to be done.

The work is resting in front of him

On a consecrated alter, unbeknownst to him

The whole time, his whole life dedicated

To an obscure labor of blood and unwept tears.

Another enormous door is been shut against

My gasping soul, once more.

Those chains keep dragging me to a bottomless pit

It is not like I have a choice, it is not like I have a voice

The darkness is never too far away.

Yes mother, I hear you near and clear.

The witch of the howlers,

The creepy crawlers, the unwanted,

The unsung, could it be that I...

Finally am ready to surrender to the inevitable

And trust this stinky abyss?

You never know right...

I don’t want to sell myself anymore.

I have tried and failed so many times

I am a lone wolf

My mold came to this world by accident

I was never meant to sleep though

I tried to lull myself.

I tried to love and the freezing wind of the north slap me back with a resounding no.

I have tried to fit into this strange mold the world has been selling forever

Though a mystery, I cannot hold on to it, to the comfort of the illusion.

When I look at the story of the world, I see a fog

How can I take a fog seriously, with all its drama...

So my journey compels me... again

I hear the call, so quiet and yet so resounding.

I will pack my things and this time head north to nowhere with my heart still beating, my hope still branded on my sail taut on its mast... the path is still to be forged... for now anyway... and I breathe... OM
