Old doors constitute a History Map. Every patch, every mending, every decorative element, stand for decisions or events that, wheather meaningless or not, got intentionally or serendipitiously trapped making up unique textures.
Las viejas puertas son un mapa de Historia. Cada parche, cada reparación, cada elemento decorativo representan decisiones o sucesos que, insignificantes o no, quedaron atrapados intencionada o involuntariamente formando texturas únicas.

I'm sinking underwater now
You've got me clinging at the shore
Your waves just pull me closer now
A crashing tide I can't ignore
No, I won't keep my distance
Cause I'm closer than ever before
And I won't show resistance
Cause I'm closer than ever before
I could be everything you want and more
I could be everything you want and more
I know you're leaving in the morning
But if tomorrow never comes
Could you let me down easy
And say that I'm the only one
I know you're leaving in the morning
But if tomorrow never comes
Could you let me down easy and lie
Say that I'm the only, I'm the only one
The rush against my skin is cold
You've got me locked inside your love
I know that this is meaningless
I let the water fill my lungs
No, I won't keep my distance
Cause I'm closer than ever before
And I won't show resistance
Cause I'm closer than ever before
I could be everything you want and more
I could be everything you want and more
I know you're leaving in the morning
But if tomorrow never comes
Could you let me down easy
And say that I'm the only one
I know you're leaving in the morning
But if tomorrow never comes
Could you let me down easy and lie
Say that I'm the only, I'm the only one

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can’t you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted…

How to Fight Loneliness
Wilco - Summerteeth (1999)
How to fight loneliness,
Smile all the time.
Shine your teeth till meaningless
Sharpen them with lies.
And whatever's going down
Will follow you around,
That's how you fight loneliness.
You laugh at every joke,
Drag your blanket blindly,
Fill your heart with smoke
And the first thing that you want.
Will be the last thing you ever need,
That's how you fight it?
Just smile all the time,
Smile

Y lo primero que quieras, que sea lo último que necesites.
Hoy no quiero estar lejos de la casa y el árbol
Silvio Rodríguez - Mujeres (1978)
Hoy no quiero estar lejos de la casa y el árbol.
Hoy quisiera estrechar mi ciudad sumergida.
Boca de los corales, alma de las esponjas.
Dureza de las piedras, que se encuentran a veces.
Ojos de las estrellas de mar y los peces.
¿Cómo voy a cambiarle el color a una ola?
¿Qué se puede querer, si todo es horizonte?
¿Qué le voy a enseñar a la suma del viento?
¿Qué le puedo objetar a una noche estrellada,
con mi vela amarilla y mi proa emparchada?
Hoy no quiero estar lejos de la casa y el árbol.
Cada rizo del suelo, es un sueño contado.
Algo como un recuerdo, una imagen, un beso.
Y en la espalda del día, se queda ese algo
Hoy no quiero estar lejos de la casa y el árbol.
Hoy te quiero cantar más allá.
Más allá de donde ha de quedar la canción.
La canción.
Mi canción.

And dedicated, unfortunately, to all those people who have left us forever, due to this meaningless "global" pandemic.

I keep talking like a parrot. But the words I say are not meaningless.
All of them are hidden treasure.
I don't care about substance. Because its mirror isn't pure.
If someone's heart is not clean; I can't say that she/he is real lover.
That isn't fair-mindedness.If true lovers don't know each other.

it`s alright
if words fail you
those empty shells,
shattered in endless storms,
have become meaningless
wait for the silence to embrace you

i often listen to music, and there is often also a kind of synaesthetic link between the music i hear and the pictures i am working on.
however, there is not so very much music that reaches the depths that i wish to explore.
this piece - a prayer - sounds almost exactly how i remember parts of my early childhood. if you listen, you can hear the walls' sad grey litany, the sound of motors, high-voltage lines and the sirens.

Furillen is gone.
The war is going on.
It's always happening somewhere.
Ukraine is not the only one. Wars are always going on all over the world.
I know that if I lament the stupidity of war here, the world will not change immediately.
Many people also know that they don't pay much attention to the words written here.
Some say that art is powerless against war.
But all I can do is make something and make a small voice.
Is it meaningless?
But I don't think people should be indifferent to being in a dangerous situation, exposed to sadness and fear.
Art may not match bullet, but indifference will destroy a lot more than missiles.
And the chain of sadness and hatred will be bigger and deeper, and will eventually swallow us too.
I don't want to stop making something, even if it doesn't make sense.
And I will continue to mutter peace in a small voice.
If I make something and you see it
And you make something and I see it
The small circle of ripples that spreads in this way may change the world little by little.

Imagine all the people

“You led me to your heart And again I fell apart. I do believe one day you will find the key to this visble cage. But you better hurry it only gets stronger with age….. Beware of the jokes and meaningless conversations that never get serious. But i hope you will stay and break these scars…… So i can let go of all the pain and all this rage stuck inside my rib cage…. But slowly we would depart Though I’ve still got your caged heart”
Rest hope you all enjoy amsy work as always ^^

My inspiration for this picture: In The End - By Linkin Park
When worries overwhelm you and you fade away . . . .
The feeling that you're losing yourself, losing everything that means anything to you. . . . . .
You're crying and desperate and there's nothing left no matter how hard you try . . . .
Hope is lost and you realize that everything you've ever done is meaningless. . . . . .
Do you know this feeling?

Think about the future so that I will not be crushed by sad days.
"My future design"
A sustainable future, a stable society is needed for that. In a society where violence can change the situation, we cannot pursue sustainable efforts.
We have many problems that the world needs to work together to solve, such as global warming, pandemics and wars, as soon as possible. If we do not deal with those problems in good faith right now, 100 years later, 200 years later, our descendants will blame our stupidity in the utmost words.
I already know that word.
"You were so stupid that you were selfish, always put off problems, and were incapable of doing justice."
Many of us thanked our parents and cherished the culture and traditions that our ancestors had built, but all of them were denied by our descendants, and the conclusion was that our lives were meaningless. If so, does it make sense for us to live?
So I suggest.
It punishes those who do selfish words and deeds, those who commit violence, and those who bring destruction to the future of humankind.
For their sins, I will transplant cute cat ears to them.
And let's say they should only use the words "Meow" and "Thank you".
Perhaps Will Smith will be the first Academy Award winner with cat ears after ten years.
People love the deep expression, the soft cat ears, and the witty "MEOW" as machismo becomes a shadow of its former self.
Then what about that dictator?
I'm tough on him, but he may at least be the model of Scrooge in Disney's latest 3D animated "A Christmas Carol" to be released in 2222.
I dont't know about the cat ears on his bald head looks cute or not...hope to people love it.
Meow!

You call it love - Karoline Kruger

_____________________
You call it love
There are things I need to say
about the way I feel when your arms
are all around me
You call it love
Words I'd heard that sound so fine
Meaningless each time
till you came and found me
See the ground is slowly turning
dizzily, easily
Feel the way my heart is burning
secretly inside of me
You call it love
All the wishes in my mind
Soared into the skies
where reflected in my own eyes
You say it's love
Variations on a theme
Love was just a dream
Memories of past sighs
See you love is always round me
everywhere in the air
New sensations now surround me
ocean wide deep inside
You call it love
All my days past close to you
Grey skies turn to blue
And the sun shines all around me
You call it love
It's a phrase that people say
each and every day
Real love is hard to find though
See the ground is slowly turning
dizzily easily
Feel the way my heart is burning
from your touch secretly
You call it love
Now I know it's so much more
Being close to you makes this
feeling new that you call it love
" Don't go out the door,don't committed a mistake ...
Everything behind the door is meaningless,
especially the exclamation of happiness.
Just go to the restroom and return immediately ...
Lock up and barricade yourself
... against chronos, space, eros, race, virus ."
(excerpt from the composition of I. Brodsky 1977.)
On the seashore of endless worlds children meet.
The infinite sky is motionless overhead and the restless water is boisterous. On the seashore of endless worlds the children meet with shouts and dances.
They build their houses with sand, and they play with empty shells. With withered leaves they weave their boats and smilingly float them on the vast deep. Children have their play on the seashore of worlds.
They know not how to swim, they know not how to cast nets. Pearl-fishers dive for pearls, merchants sail in their ships, while children gather pebbles and scatter them again. They seek not for hidden treasures, they know not how to cast nets.
The sea surges up with laughter, and pale gleams the smile of the sea-beach. Death-dealing waves sing meaningless ballads to the children, even like a mother while rocking her baby's cradle. The sea plays with children, and pale gleams the smile of the sea-beach.
On the seashore of endless worlds children meet. Tempest roams in the pathless sky, ships are wrecked in the trackless water, death is abroad and children play. On the seashore of endless worlds is the great meeting of children.

I'm raiding my archives again....this was taken in Oregon.
Now that mountains of meaningless words and oceans divide us
And we each have our own set of stars
to comfort and guide us,
Come into my sleep
Come into my sleep, oh yeah
Dry your eyes and do not weep
Come into my sleep
Swim to me through the deep blue sea
upon the scattered stars set sail
Fly to me through this love-lit night
from one thousand miles away
And come into my sleep
Come into my sleep oh yeah
As midnight nears and shadows creep
Come into my sleep
Bind my dreams up in your tangled hair
For I am sick at heart, my dear
Bind my dreams up in your tangled hair
For all the sorrow it will pass, my dear
Take your accusation, your recriminations
and toss them into the ocean blue
Leave your regrets and impossible longings
and scatter them across the sky behind you
And come into my sleep, Come into my sleep
For my soul to comfort and keep
Come into my sleep
For my soul to comfort and keep - my sleep
Come on, Come on, Come on...

I like the reflection in your eyes
always wanted to look at me
two eyes full of me
Please put me in front of you Look in my eyes
When I look into your eyes, I think I know everything
can't see anything
In the eyes that contained everything
lose the light
It's full of darkness oh no
this is no no no i
Even if you look for me in your eyes
Turn around around around around please
it's already too late
I like the reflection in your eyes
always wanted to look at me
two eyes full of me
Please put me in front of you Look in my eyes
When I look into your eyes, I think I know everything
I know it's true
Two fingertips holding each other
Meaningless time passes
We repeat now
Did time make it oh no
this is no no no i
Even if I look into your eyes and shout
Turn around around around around please
it's already too late
I like the reflection in your eyes
always wanted to look at me
two eyes full of me
Please put me in front of you Look in my eyes
When I look into your eyes, I think I know everything oh
Without any answer, you just look ahead
Only the awkward air remains
If this was right, if this was our answer
I'll just close my eyes and stand
go first
I like the reflection in your eyes
always wanted to look at me
two eyes full of me
Please put me in front of you Look in my eyes
Why does my heart hurt when I look into your eyes
I'm sad because I'm reflected in your eyes
stop trying to let you go
stop now
I won't make it hard just say goodbye
Can you look at me one last time
warmly

It's a place we all arrive. We usually don't know when, how or why until we get there.
Obviously, this salmon has reached the end of its line in the jaws of a grizzly, which might not be all bad.
Rather than enduring a long, drawn out death at the end of a very long and arduous journey, gasping in shallow water until time mercifully stops all living functions, this salmon might feel pain, (lots of controversy over that), for a short time and then, it's over.
But its life isn't meaningless or its death in vain. All things come to an end and all things serve a purpose on this great planet. Mother Nature made sure of that when she created all the wonders we see and share on this earth.
At some point, we all reach the end of the line. No getting away from that.
These were just some thoughts I had while looking at this salmon's face. And aren't those just some happy little thoughts to start the day with, LOL!
There are gaps that words fill,
others that words dig.
There are silences that are a gift, others that kill,
which make no sense.
There are right words, wrong words,
words spoken or kept silent so as not to do harm.
Expected words, sighed. There are words, there are silences.
A missed "here", an unpronounced "I'm sorry".
A "suspended" not filled.
There are silences waiting for an explanation to arrive
in order to extinguish the torment of those meaningless whys.

1974 Ferrari Dino 246GTS
Dino was a marque for mid-engined, rear-drive sports cars produced by Ferrari from 1968 to 1976. Used for models with engines with fewer than 12 cylinders, it was an attempt by the company to offer a relatively low-cost sports car. The Ferrari name remained reserved for its premium V-12 and flat 12 models until 1976, when "Dino" was retired in favour of full Ferrari branding.Named to honour Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari's son and heir Dino Ferrari, the Dino models used Ferrari racing naming designation of displacement and cylinder count with two digits for the size of the engine in deciliters and the third digit to represent the number of cylinders, i.e. 246 being a 2.4-litre 6-cylinder and 308 being a 3.0-litre 8-cylinder. Ferrari street models of the time used a three-digit representation of the displacement in cubic centimeters of one of the 12 cylinders, which would have been meaningless in a brand with differing numbers of cylinders.The Dino 246 was the first Ferrari model produced in high numbers. It is lauded by many for its intrinsic driving qualities and groundbreaking design. In 2004, Sports Car International placed the car at number six on its list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970s. Motor Trend Classic placed the 206/246 at number seven in their list of the 10 "Greatest Ferraris of all time".Calls for more power were answered with the 2.4 L (2418 cc) Dino 246. The motor was a 65-degree, dual-overhead-camshaft, 9.0:1 compression ratio, iron block with alloy heads. The European motor produced 195 bhp (at 7,600 rpm), and was available as a fixed-top GT coupe or, after 1971, an open Spyder GTS. The American version had an exhaust air-pump, and timing changes which created 175 hp (130 kW). The GT had 3 Weber 40 DCNF/6 or 40 DCNF/7 carburetors. For the 246 a new version of the Dinoplex ignition was deployed, the more compact Magneti Marelli AEC103A system.The 246 Dino GT weighed 2,380 lb (1,080 kg). The 246 Dino GTS weighed 2,426 lb (1,100 kg). The body was now made of steel to save cost. The 246 Dino had a 2.1-inch (53 mm) longer wheelbase than the 206, at 92.1 inches. The height of the 246 was the same as the 206 at 43.9 inches.Dino 246 production numbered 2,295 GTs and 1,274 Spyders, the latter being built from 1972 to 1974 only, for a total production run of 3,569. Three series of the Dino were built, with differences in wheels, windshield wiper coverage, and engine ventilation. The Series I cars, 357 of which were built until the summer of 1970, used the same center-bolt wheels as did the 206. Series II cars (built until July 1971 in 507 examples) received five-bolt Cromodora alloys and "clap-hands" wipers. The Series III cars had minor differences to gearing and fuel supply, and were built at a much higher rate as sales in the United States commenced with this version. 1,431 Series III coupés and 1,274 GTS cars were built.
Vows are spoken to be broken
Feelings are intense, words are trivial
Pleasures remain, so does their pain
Words are meaningless and forgettable...
Enjoy the silence.
There's just something about a windmill that catches the eye and leads the imagination to another place where the wind on your face is more than just a feeling and time is only a meaningless abstraction. The old windmill at Just Another Tequila Sunrise is no exception. Rising beyond flaming meadows where gentle horses graze and crows cackle overhead, it is truly one of the highlights of a visit to this gorgeous place.

Funny that you can be surrounded by so many people and yet not be connected or engaged to anyone. You can hear conversations without knowing what’s being said nor caring to know either. Your thoughts are your own and you focus on whatever you choose to in the moment and nothing else matters. Noise and commotion are meaningless right now because you and your thoughts are miles away in your private world and that’s ok even for that short while. Enjoy those precious moments when you’re “Surrounded, And Still Alone.” When you find yourself there, cherish that time alone because your privacy can be priceless. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and be kind. Put your masks in the laundry and start the week off right by committing to wearing them always.
