Restoration

    I imagine God with his mighty hands in a pile of clay. He voluptuously kneaded on it and a human body took shape. He breathed out and the form became a living body.

    The last model was a dancer from Cirque du Soleil. I was in awe not because he was naked-- he was supposed to--but because his body was a true example of beauty. Besides proportions, it featured a perfect balance of muscle and fat. Whichever his diet was, it worked great with the type of activity. (It was a good thing he did not show a hanging belly-- it would have banished away my inspiration... ) Such sight got me close to the act of creation. He told me he loved what he was doing and asked for my drawing...

    I see beauty, love and health as interconnected. I can only imagine the silent movement of cells when the body goes through development or healing. Love, proper substances, make those cells move freely. A sort of re-creation. The result is beauty.

    The opposite of love creates disfunction, disease, crime...

    That land cannot heal without love. It cannot be beautiful...

    Decartes ar zice gândirea. Dar cred ca frumosul primează înaintea cogitoului. Căci doar așa luam seama de ceea ce ne înconjoară.

      Da, nu am atins aici gandirea... As zice ca frumosul e ceva elevat ce apare printr-un proces de slefuire. Nu ne nastem cu o perceptie deplina de frumos. Si aici intervine gandirea...

    Cred ca frumosul apare o data cu constiinta de sine. Sigur ca este completat de instinct și plăcere.

      Si instinctul si placerea au locul lor. Imi place ideea de "completat."

Neclintire

     Sunt zile și zile. Manunchiuri de zile. Zile când vreau sa mă tot duc pe drumuri, mări, neștiute, nesfarsite, si zile când vreau sa stau, sa patrulez pe aceeași poteca de mii de ori, sa mă umplu de un spațiu care să-mi devină din ce in ce mai familiar, din ce in ce mai acasă. Un nomad si un sedentar.        Dar acum vreau sa stau. Zile in șir. Sa stau aici, sa fac pași mici doar, nepresati de orele plecărilor, sa ating aceeași materie in fiecare zi. Sa mă desfăt in rutina. Sa descopăr si sa sug energia care e într-un singur loc. Pana la fund. Si locul acesta sa se îmbibe cu energia mea ca un burete din care începe sa curgă. Sa mă împrietenesc chiar si cu ceea ce-mi e ostil: caldura amiezii, țepii cactușilor, scorpionii, aerul prea uscat, toate musculițele care au apărut dintr-o data la caldarusa unde adun resturile de mâncare...      Nu ma mai chemati pe nu stiu unde...

Freedom

     I did not know that Carl Jung said about life that begins at 40. Good to know because I was tempted to believe that it was more of a personal experience. When I entered my 40s, I felt something remarkable about this age, something that signaled newness. A more open stage, where things that had been in a sort of haze, became clear. Clarity brought immense freedom like I did not experience before. Freedom from anything that would keep me stuck in an idea that was not totally internalized, understood, or honestly dealt with. Freedom is an outset.      Why people talk about getting old at 40? It is a new life that begins here, maybe a new form of childhood. When you are rediscovering everything without the typical child-like clumsiness, hesitation, or ambiguity. It is a stage where known feelings are elevated through a form of consciousness that gives a sense of freedom. It feels like a new self, and yet the same soul; rejuvenating like a new set of clothe...

Dark and Light

     Who would have thought...? In a day when nothing seemed out of the ordinary... To slip through a hole like Alice in Wonderland... But for me it was no Wonderland, but a dark world where people suffer, cannot do normal activities, they are in pain and cry for help, where disease and death are looming. I mean... I vicariously knew how hard it was for sick people to deal with life, but I got more than ever to feel it myself, to have it... to know it first hand...      A simple accident while showering, overzealously polishing my heel. A sharp pain on the side, then loss of ability to move. Excruciating pain, and crawling like a creature of the earth. A few hours like that, then hardly moving. A muscle strain. Rest, ice, oils helped. Better everyday, then coming back home through the same hole... Running like a deer again.      Happy as if life it's not simply granted, but it's a miracle...
