Liviandad

2010 of flight, of colors, of grand travels, of incissions into the body.

2010 that cut me open, Herman Hessed into Abraxas, made me new.

2010 tomorrow still, forever present.

2010 of beach, of sun, of color.

2010 you ought to be saluted.



Thought: vivir plenos, con insolente necesidad por darse, buscar palizas de abrazos a felicidad, con labios abiertos pa la vida. Feliches, libreches! Liviandad

Vein Travel, Rapture

I would like to vein travel you. Set ship in your arteries. With my grand teeth open a bit of heart and just deposit myself warm there. Just for a bit.

That is how I perform 1st hand research on what is happening, really. And from there, decide how to approach this message.

I have not writen since moving to London in August. Wonder why. Busy much? Did not care perhaps? Nothing to say? Neither of these apply.

I flew over the Atlantic and decided it was time to disconnect myself from all past life, from all of me, to "become focused". Worked, studied. Tried to make life go somewhere. Went back to old ways. Stopped caring about body. Drank into oblivion. Made new friendships. Some very exciting and special. Others, simply new.

Nothing revolutionary, integrally changing, essence striking, has happened. No lightning has struck. I was hoping one would struck. That I would be turned to dust. Start new. Begin fresh. I have not, however.

So, I am looking back into the 2ND half because I am just getting around reflecting this happened since August. It should not be complicated, but for some reason, I choose to remain in a dense environment. But that should stop. I need fast waves, travelling sun, flowing spirits.

I expect more. I look for magic. Wrapture. Closing of the year begins.

Unleash Potential

Why are you so little this late in life? When was it that you fell off the carriage into the hachet and became comfortably numb? Unleash potential, my friend. Unleash.



“Unusual soul, unconventional thinker, spirit explorer, life adventurer, transparent heart, passion to do, and, life to the fullest”. His life appears to be that of a nomad yet he somehow found roots where he stood. All the institutions he belonged to now count with wings that boast his name. They were all transformed by him. He showed there is absolutely nothing men cannot accomplish. He was a parent, his children are beacons of his legacy.

Be particles of body scattered across the world. Be your own "Communities” and let them play 84 different songs, handpicked by you. Your life's soundtrack as a guiding compass. Each song representing a year of life. Send an unusual message and choose, for minutes, to be music. Be ashes on snow. Be frameworks of unconventional ideas that breathe fresh air. Be hopes suspended on mineral water tanks. Be a heart pulsating. Be colour on canvas. Be silence and observation. Be vibrancy of spirit. Be life, every year, every day, every minute, and every second.

Come to be NOT like anyone else. Be ocean power, fiery everlasting sun, a freedom seeking soul. Come here to be your own soul, to set your own path. Live life in seconds most miss. Transcend daily routines, go a layer deeper. That layer is a place no one will understand fully. Have a a way of engaging the world. Have a way of engaging communities. Be unusual, rich, and generous. Move with light, be a foreign dimension where finding meaning is all that could be asked.



Rest in Quito; glide over Maine; fly over Oxford spirals; fire start sparkles in the great New York; trainspot to India, China, Brazil. Paint London. At this very minute: be. At the next minute: be. Particles of soul envelop this air. Grab life and legacy.

"Look at life in the face and know it for what it is." Do not come here to live by anyone’s standards but your own. That is: creativity and heart. Come here “to find the perfect day, six glasses of water, seven phone calls”. Come here to challenge own notions. Come here to dare to know.

Just think of the soul, the one strived to become, and clap! Clap at the top of your hands, at the top of your hourses! Clap for life, for memory. Clap for victories. Clap for failures. Clap so a foot print sets clear through it all.

Souls, of desires, unobserved spaces, and seconds of existence. Back on the horse and onto the carriage. Time matters. Evolve. Matter. Unleash, yeah!

A Manifesto of Authenticity

A Thought: Authenticity is the most important value to uphold in professional life.

A Reason: Being authentic brings deeper levels of success and leads to building happiness, not only satisfaction.

A Reality: We work for most part of our days. Business life matters. It is not an island. It burns that it is practically impossible to be authentic in business.

A Fussy-Wussy: A professional survey screams: “you question ‘conventional wisdom and conventional behaviours’, you are a bit unconventional yourself.”

A Process: The child is no longer an infant, no longer a teenager. He is an activist. Out goes he. Plans to change the world. The corporation hits. The corporation demands. And he normalizes self. Others did as well.

Open Parentheses: I drank the cool aid, quenched my thirst, became a "team player", and played the role of "culture carrier". That is great and all. But what really happened? During this process, I drifted towards the status quo and the median. I gradually replicated behaviours and practices that had been established, used, and implemented by others in the past. I did think, I did create, I did innovate, I did deliver, I did produce. But, in all instances, I felt constrained. Constrained to act within accepted parameters. It was rare to deviate one step further, to really question the underlying philosophy of value proposition. In all, I was not able to channel my “authentic genius”, meaning working from my truest, rawest, bestest, or worst expression of myself. I did not find that realm where mistakes happen but where real, true innovation occurs. Close Parentheses.

A Conclusion: Authenticity is most challenged during career development because people do not easily accept what is unconventional until after the fact. We resist authenticity and chose to adapt, flex, and deliver within the expectations. We challenge authenticity because we believe that norms and rules add to productivity. We prefer to operate in comfortable spaces where the level of risk is lower. When we are authentic, we are at our best, deliver the most, reach full potential.

A Secret: I find myself living at the peripheral areas of my brain. Before, I did not. Now, my brain makes decisions considering notions of career success that seem to respond more to ego needs, societal demands, or perceptions of what a career path should look like.

A Suggestion: Act, study, relate to others from a point of absolute raw expression. Build on everything learned but operate from a no-pose point of view. Make this choice because life then becomes a risk-free environment in which we get to understand our very mortality. You will then build resilience. In that way, channel unconventionality in productive ways.

Most Cliche-d Explanation: Enhance unconventionality and become authentic. Leave an impactful, lucrative, and exciting trace. Search for something special. That is the opportunity to be. Find a business, role, function to channel energy. Repeat NOT others, find self, this will lead to a deeper level of success and build happiness, not only satisfaction.

Drink this cool-aid.
