Someone to whom I owe an explanation. My dear Chant Lyric

After many months of not being able to return to flickr, I have some very strong feelings.

There is one in particular that I must calm down, as I have not been and have not been able to act to solve it. So it is now that I will do it.

I chose this photo, because these two birds are very sweet to me, but there is something special about one of them, its body is reflected in the water, the other one is not.

I identify the first one with you, Chant, because it is a metaphor of who you are, you manage to transcend beyond your physical image, you deploy your energy to illuminate everything around you.

My lack of communication in all these months makes me feel and look like the other bird, without the best extension, outside of me.

It is as if the mind has been turned off for a long period of time. There fears, ghosts took over. The exhaustion increased and I reached a point where I think I lost some neuronal connectivity. In that damned stage of null creativity, the more I thought that the next day I would send you an email, but I was paralyzed.

Today I remembered your incredible gesture, when you wrote on a photo: "Dedicated to Venicio Armin".

I had never received such wonderful words. Those that you gave me, in addition to your courage to say (as you always do) what you felt, without any kind of barrier. With that freedom that is your center, your place of comfort, your way of living and acting.

I will not be able to say better what I thought, at that moment. Therefore, I will write it again.

I still don't understand, that you say you don't use words, as you would like to. Really, it would be impossible for me to find better ways to say, as you have done. You should know, that you are very cultured, in knowledge and wisdom, of that which is studied as those things that are not taught in schools or universities, I am talking about a perception, beyond, of our unity, as a body.

You know what I think of your courage, in confronting, the "truth" that is imposed on us, as the other kind of courage, that of sustaining a life, full of moments almost impossible to bear. But there you are, giving gifts of such immense value, that I find it absolutely touching that I am the recipient. It's worth telling you that I'm not half as brave as you. I also find it hard to believe that my supposed brilliance is as you describe. I am simply someone who has developed a strange form of diction, born from who knows where.

 

Now I'll just try to get back to sharing ideas and thoughts, in case you want me to.

Few people in the world have qualities that are so admirable, I always felt I was not worthy of your beautiful friendship.

 

I will also respond to your amazing words, which as always, you dedicate to me on my photos, but first I had to do this. I hope you like the photo.

A big hug to your heart

Venicio
