No puedo decir tacos

Me gustó mucho un articulo de Elvira Lindo sobre lo dificil que le resulta decir tacos (debido a que viene de una familia donde no se decían)... coincido con ella en todo el artículo...
Yo tampoco puedo decir "p....." (prostituta) y "f............" (hacer el amor)... es que no exiten en mi vocabulario, lo mismo que "c...ñ..." Me parecen unas palabras tan barrio bajeras, tan de mal gusto, tan terrenales, que me recuerdan al barro y a la suciedad... La connotación es tan despectiva que nunca he podido utilizarlas en mi vida cotidiana. Como dice Elvira es que "no asimilo estos alimentos", se me indigestan...

En el fondo me alegro porque pienso que las palabras tienen poder y con ellas podemos crear la realidad...

Aquí va el enlace al artículo... no tiene desperdicio!

Shopping, shopping, shopping!

This is what I wrote for my 2nd Batx. students.


Here we are again! Christmas has just arrived at “El corte Inglés” once more! And we are ready to spend our money on things we don’t really need.
Presents, objects,clothes and perfumes, bags and jewellery, electronic devices, new mobiles and computers... We need them!

But when you grow older you realize that, sometimes, things and objects can become a real burden... At the moment I’m in the process of getting rid of things I don’t really use... Too many CDs, too many books, too many clothes...


I love Japanese classical home decoration... I need emptiness... I need a place with no images, a white wall... an empty space in my living room, to dance, to rest, to get some refreshing air for my soul...


Xmas is here again! What can we do?


“If you understand, things are just as they are
If you don’t understand, things are just as they are”

This is my inspirational quote at this stage of my life.



When I was a teenager I wanted to train my body (sports, martials arts and so on). I loved Aikido and Taichi (I learnt to be really fast and flexible with the former, and to be calm and relaxed when facing a problem with the latter )

















In my youth years I started training my emotions. Difficult task! We are full of contradictions: love and hate, joy and fear, activity and laziness. Sometimes it seems that the opposite forces can make your boat sink... I gave up martial arts and I started dancing...to express my emotions... we are like waves... going up and down, up and down restlessly...


And then it came a time when I started training my mind. And I was lucky to see a beautiful lighthouse in the distance and ... I followed the light...



I am a really curious person and I want to understand things at a deeper level, life and death, purpose of life, and so on...
And one day I realized I couldn’t understand everthing using just my mind.



“If you understand, things are just as they are
If you don’t understand, things are just as they are”

You cannot measure the water of the ocean using a tiny bucket (our individual minds). So why are we wasting our time instead of enjoying the beauty of the sea??








WRITING 3

I would like you to go shopping in a very special way: I don’t want you to spend money on things we don’t really need.
I’d like you to share 3 presents with your classmates. The first one is for your mind, the second for your emotions and the third one is for your body.

1.Tell us about your favourite inspirational quote at the moment. Explain.

2. Your favourite song. A song with a special meaning... Share the you tube video and the lyrics.

3. A place where you would like to be right now. Post the image and explain. (Save the image because you will need it in the future, for writing 5 in April, a description of a place)

Next to the image I ‘d like you to write a poem called “the five senses poem”
Start the lines with

I can see..........................
I can hear........................
I can smell..........................
I can taste.........................
I can feel................................


Merry Christmas and a happy new 2010!

Ikebanas invernales

Ayer sábado pase un par de horas con una japonesa haciendo un curso de ikebana de la escuela Katsura-Misho. Hicimos la forma básica con rosas y ramas de eucalipto en flor y luego un centro de mesa de forma libre con ramas de abeto y bolitas rojas de ilex.

No pudimos llevarnos a casa el kenzan (pinchos donde se clavan las flores) ni tampoco el recipiente... así que pido disculpas si el ikebana ha quedado un poco cambiado... lo tuve que rehacer en casa con otro florero...

Me gustaría dedicar más tiempo a los arreglos florales...que bien me lo pasé...

Me acaban de enviar un link de you tube que me ha hecho llorar...
Espero que os guste tanto como a mi...
