Living the search

El océano es como la vida.


Para moverte en él, debes aprender a escuchar, a observar y a sentir ese algo tan antiguo como el mundo. Observar las mareas. Dejarte guiar por el instinto.


 Aun en compañía, la relación con el océano, como con la vida, es exclusiva, es una comunicación directa entre él y tu. Una relación basada en la confianza.


El océano como la vida, es caprichoso y cambiante. las olas amenazantes de una mañana pueden dejar en la tarde una superficia tan plana que pareciera planchada en seco. Dos metros de distancia pueden cambiarlo todo.


Pero la frustracion nunca es parte del plan. Porque él nunca no te da lo que buscas. Sino lo que necesitas.
Aprender de él es un ejercicio de paciencia.Y la paciencia siempre otorga grandes recompensas.
El secreto está en disfrutar de la busqueda.


Ocean is like life. 
If you want to learn how to move in it, you must learn how to listen, observe and feel something as old as the world. Observe the tides. Let yourself be guided by instinct. Even in company, the relationship between ocean and you, as with life, is exclusive, direct communication betwen both of you. A relationship based on trust. 
Ocean as life is capricious. Unexpected. Threatening waves in the morning, can leave an afternoon with a surface as flat as if it was dry ironed ironed. But the frustration is never part of the plan. Because he never gives you what you want. But what you need. Learn from him is an exercise of patience . And patience always gives great rewards. The secret is to enjoy the search.

Swimming lessons. About how to be a hero


"I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins


Like dolphins can swim

Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
For ever and ever


Oh we can be Heroes
Just for one day.

I,
I will be king
And you,
you will be queen

Though nothing
will drive them away


We can beat them,
just for one day


We could steal time,
just for one day.


We can be Heroes,
for ever and ever
What d'you say?


We can be Heroes,
just for one day".

"Heroes". David Bowie. Changes.
