We are already completing our first month of #quarantine and surely, we have many mixed feelings, either with our environment or with what we believe is to come.
We have a habit in our minds of wanting to be in a different place than we are most of the time, to be in a different condition than we might be in, there can always be something else, something better, something that transports us to I don't know where...
When we were 14 hours away from our loved ones, we longed to be at least 8 hours away just to gain 6 hours and give them the best of us; now that we spend 24 hours near them we don't want, in many cases, to inhabit the same space in defense of our ego to avoid confrontations.
Some years ago I heard a friend teaching his son the following: "Son, since we were born we have been told that we must run and have a lot, what they don't tell us is when the competition ends and how much is a lot"
And I feel that this micro-story could not be more accurate in defining everything that has happened around the world and what we might be feeling. In the frenetic life we lead, routine has killed our passions, our loves, our ideals, and ourselves that we are so obsessed with what happens outside that we forget what happens inside.
Fear is part of that routine, part of thinking about the future, change, uncertainty. Suddenly the money stopped and automatically began to emanate in many a flow of frustrations that have kept them so busy that they still don't want to accept what is happening and let this unique and unrepeatable experience pass them by that is otherwise tremendously enriching.
We have all the time to explore ourselves and make a trip inside, without haste, without interruptions, without excuses of the pressing about what is important; as we pretend to bring a healthy coexistence if our interior is sick and we chase chimeras outside in the news or in the charges that have not arrived, or worse still sunk in messages from social networks that poison body and mind, as an explanation to something that just happened.
Flowing with events is a way of surrendering and when you don't fight the current there is no wear and tear, everything happens at its exact moment and so synchronic that the executioner of time disappears and leaves space to see what is inside. But watch out! surely it will not be a pleasant experience rewarded with likes, comments or views, if we only have S***t inside us we cannot give something different.
All the S***t that we have accumulated we must recognize it with all the pain that it implies, clean it NOT for a NEW START - it does not seem to me the appropriate expression - but to be more conscious of our course, because we cannot ignore that we are what we have done, WHICH DOES NOT DEFINE US but it places us right now, right here.
The world continues to turn, the universe has sent us a halt on the way, so that we can benefit and understand that life will not be the same - at least that is what I want for me - let's take advantage and be the best friends of ourselves.
The last time I was returning from Medellin I was trying to meditate and when I opened my eyes to my left side there was a senator sitting there (which I learned later when he introduced himself) and he asked me a question:
Did you hear German, what can I do when I have so much on my mind and sometimes, I despair, as I calm down?
And the answer was as simple as the problem:
HAKUNAMATATA, I answered...
