infinite

Those photos were taken from the car while driving around the Medina. My eyes were getting in touch with the harsh reality some people face everyday. But in the dirt, in the darkness, there was always something that made me feel close. So far away but still so close, as a number kept on reminding me. Like a circle, that ends where it starts...

Now, I'm working in the Medina, just to achieve one goal: that the population of this district could look at the bright side of life through Art and dreams that become true.

The biggest skies I've ever seen are in Africa. Wide open skies that invite you to open your wings and fly. But you are and will never be alone while crossing the skies. There is always a chance to cross your path with another bird that loves the free breeze as much as you do.

So today, a bug wants to give you the infinite. Close your eyes and fly over the sea. Can you feel it?






Have you seen the moon today? it is not full, but it is the same moon as what is essential is invisible to the eye :-)

I've just been outdoors, staring at the moon for a good while, though she was hidden between the clouds of night. Somethings you don't need to see them to be sure where they are, or just that they are somewhere. You just know, with great certainty. You just feel them.

It's been a long time since the last time I had this bird-girl in front of my eyes. But not even once I had the need of such an evidence of her existence to feel her presence. To feel her near. Although I tried to hide her between the clouds of night. As you say, the essential is invisible to the eye.

And it's hard to tell what it is, and what it's not...

So let us fly to the infinite with that bug tonight, as if nothing ever happened, but the essential. As if we were in this circle, in which things end where they start, and start where they end.

All my love

Que negro es tu B/N cuando quieres :-D.
Tranquila que ya queda poco, ve sacando brillo a tus alas y prepárate a surcar cielos azules.
Un beso.

Brave and wild as a lion and free as a seagull...
- Are you saying I can fly?
- I say you are free

Last night there was a half moon. But next to the half moon there is always the other half even if you don't see it. Because the important things are seen with the heart...

Hope you found strips of clouds on your hair this morning ;-)

Love

buen viaje y buen trabajo.

A veces las fotos me piden mucha textura, otras veces mucha oscuridad y crudeza. Otras veces solo quiero luz. Obviamente solo reflejo lo que siento. Malo, bueno, o regular...
Y gracias! aunque nunca saco brillo a mis alas. Me gusta verlas "usadas" :D

Hola Daniel! Mil gracias!! y sabréis de mí durante el viaje ;-)

"The biggest skies I've ever seen are in Africa". Y yo en unos ojos... Que seguramente sueñan con los cielos de África. :)

Sabes? una cosa que me horrorizó de los niños tokyotas es que el 80% de ellos jamás había visto un atardecer ni un amanecer. Sus vidas transcurren en edificios que les impiden "abrir sus alas y volar"

Eso es lo que me ha recordado tu post sobre el cielo.

ESo eso, saber de ti en el viaje...al que yo debería haberme apuntado...buaauauauaa
Y yo aquí, haciendo mierda fotos

aNaY said...

Petrarca me parece precioso que puedas ver los más inmensos cielos a través de esos ojos que sueñan con Africa... Seguirás viéndolos :-)

aNaY said...

Fanmaki ¿eso es verdad? es desolador! Nadie en este mundo debería vivir sin atardeceres ni amaneceres....
La verdad es que allí tienen hasta playas artificiales metidas en burbujas. Siempre he pensado que era un atentado contra la vida, el alma y la salud.

aNaY said...

Anda mao, que seguro esas fotos valen la pena. Lo importante no es el lugar donde están hechas...
Me voy ya este domingo. Las conexiones allí son muy malas y tengo mucho trabajo. Aún así espero mantener esto en movimiento. Tan solo habrá que tener un poquito más de paciencia... :-)

Precioso colorido y preciosa foto la de la playa...

aNaY said...

y ojalá hubiera tenido la libertad de hacer más fotos de aquella playa llena de color y sabor... pero no me dejaron :-(
Me alegro de que te guste, Nemo!!
