Querido diario, pagina #9 Cuatro pasos hacia un mundo mejor…

(Por una isla en el Mediterráneo/Derechos Reservados)

Si me preguntas por mi formula de como hacer el mundo mejor, no vacilaría en responderte que deberían dejar a los artistas, escritores, dramaturgos, músicos, bailarines, coreógrafos, compositores y todos aquellos individuos que han currado, grandemente, para superarse, educarse, mejorarse y hacer algo positivo en la vida, gobernar. Creo que así comenzó la Republica Checa cuando se liberó del yugo del comunismo…

1- Para mejorar la patria hay que cambiar el gobierno, ipso facto. Hay que dejar que los sabios gobiernen, como era en la antigua Grecia, que fue, después de todo, la cuna de la democracia. Los politicos están motivados por el ego y por el afán de enriquecerse. Otros están demasiado enamorados del poder y su megalomania los conduce a obligar a los demás a seguir sus pasos y eso no le gusta a nadie, al menos a nadie que ame la libertad.

2- Hay que educar mejor a la juventud. Los colegios no deben ser centros de adoctrinamiento, como lo son ahora, sino centros para formar a los que un día van a llevar las riendas de la patria. En los colegios tiene que haber, por encima de todo, disciplina, orden y respeto. Los alumnos tienen la obligación de respetar a sus profesores, de obedecer y de cumplir con la normativa y con los deberes. Ya habrá tiempo para la libre expresión, cosa tipica y apreciada de la juventud, pero primero hay que aprender a ser ciudadanos correctos y respetuosos. La paz depende de la justicia y la justicia de la educación.

3- Hay que saber ser uno con la naturaleza. No somos extraterrestres. Somos parte de esta tierra, tanto como las plantas, los animales, el viento, las nubes, las aguas y todo lo demás que vive y se desarrollo en nuestro entorno. La tierra tiene consciencia y sabiduría y hay que saber llegar a ella. Hay muchas maneras y todas, o casi todas, conducen a la sabiduría. Hay que aprender a callarnos la boca y a escuchar que a veces el viento mismo nos habla y suaviza nuestras almas inquietas.

4- Finalmente, el hombre tiene que purificarse, tiene que dejar que el espíritu, el Gran Espiritu de nuestra existencia, cree en el un corazón puro, y nos renueve por dentro. Solos no podemos, unidos al espíritu somos…

El dibujo es el verdadero surrealismo, el sueño y la magia, diría yo que es algo superior a la pintura, igual que un gato que es animal superior al perro…

Drawing is true surrealism. It is the dream and the magic of art. I would say superior to painting. Like a cat which is a superior animal to a dog.

Dear Diary, page #5 – Four Steps to a Better Existence

(Detail of «Danny Boy» by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

If you asked me what my formula for how to make a better world, I would not hesitate to reply that it must be governed by artists, poets, writers, playwrights, composers, dancers, choreographers, musicians and all those who have worked to educate themselves, better themselves and through that effort have tried to make a better world, govern. I do believe the Czech Republic started out that way after they rid themselves of communist oppression.

1- To make the country better we need to change the government right away. The wise have to be allowed to govern, like in Ancient Greece, who was governed by wise men of philosophy. Politicians are motivated by greed, ego and the quest for power. Some are so enamoured of power that they force their people to behave in ways that no one wants to, at least no one who loves freedom.

2-We have to educate our youth much better than we are doing now. Schools should not be centres of indoctrination as they are now. They should be places to form those who will eventually hold the reins of the country. In schools there should be, above all else, discipline, order and respect. Students have the obligation to respect their teachers, to obey them and to perform all their duties according to the norms and to complete their assigned work. They will have time enough for free expression, something typical and admired in youth. But first they must learn to be correct and respectful citizens. Peace depends on justice and justice on education.

3- We have to know how to be one with nature. We are not extra-terrestrials. We are part of the Earth as much as plants, animals, the wind, the clouds, the seas and everything else that lives in our environment. The Earth has consciousness and wisdom and we must learn to approach such knowledge. There are many ways and most of them lead to wisdom. We must learn to close our mouth and open our ears for at times the wind itself speaks to us and comforts our weary souls.

4- Finally, man must purify himself. We must let the spirit, the Great Spirit of our existence to create in us a pure heart and to renew us from the inside. Alone we are not, together, united with the Spirit, we are…

Dear Diary, P.#44

(Sailing the Mediterranean/All Rights Reserved)

Well it is late April but it is beginning to feel like summer here in our Mediterranean coast… The temperatures are slowly rising above 30 degrees (Celsius) and the sun is bright in the sky. The days are long and the breeze is refreshing, as are our warm Mediterranean waters. So this means that it is the perfect time to get away and enjoy the coastal cities and beaches. A little later they will be so crowded that you will not even be able to walk from the chiringuito* to the water without stepping over…or on…oily bodies of northern sun worshippers. These fine folk come to Spain seeking what no other country in Europe can give them.

So I did my first trip of the year to a beautiful place, just about two hours by car from Valencia, the island of Tabarca. I drove to a small town south of the city of Alicante, called Santa Pola and from there I took the ferry to the island of Tabarca. It’s just a 20 minute boat ride and you reach this beautiful little paradise on the Mediterranean Sea.

Tabarca is a small island with many restaurants and most importantly, surrounded by little calas (coves) where one can sunbathe, swim, relax, meditate and thoroughly enjoy nature in all its most wonderful aspects. There are also hotels on the island and did I mention restaurants and bars? Full of them…

So… before it gets too hot and you melt, try and get away if you can during early May and beat the rush…

Cheers…
