Sand and desires

avatar
(Edited)

I woke up in the sand. Some bird sounds came with more intensity as I opened my eyes; and I was annoyed to see the humpbacked horizon. I have this problem with the horizon... I also miss smoking, even though Daisy Gray says in the comments of her video that she does not support the promotion of smoking, nor does she smoke. Apparently it's all about pointing out an aesthetic or contrasting something, in this case, the sea with the toxicity of smoking. Still, I feel like smoking. But who cares.

I can say I've woken up wherever I want, even in Iceland. It is very easy to daydream. Here is a list of the best beaches in this sparsely populated northern European country (what a delight) that presents itself as a very safe place, where people know how to enjoy life very well.

my imagination and a little help

This morning I'm craving a walk in Iceland. It's beautiful there. I just have to open my laptop and ask to be taken far away and that's how I immerse myself in its natural landscapes, which are quite diverse. There are mountains, valleys, plains, cliffs, glaciers, geysers... auroras borealis.

Don't judge me, I was alone, thinking about the sea, the cigarette, that song that was caressing and tearing me at the same time and I had nothing better to do than to play a little with the AI.

However all this preamble is because I want to tell you about this woman. Bing and I think we've done a good job.

Björk

But look, don't get overwhelmed. This post is about music, inspired by music. I'm a weird human being, I could say I'm boring. I'm basically moved by ideas and emotions, I remember two days ago I was talking a bit about Dogma, a film movement, and that thought takes me to the moment when I discovered that, and Lars von Trier.

I went to the Chaplin cinema, which is almost on the corner of 12th and 23rd in Havana's Vedado. The movie advertised at the box office was "Dancer in the Dark", by Lars von Trier. This was some years ago. What I remember is that the film was a big slap in the face and made me question many things about human nature and my personal aspirations.

Let's connect things a bit more here: Selma, the protagonist of that story daydreams while working in a factory.

I knew then, as a result of that visit to the cinema, the whole question of Dogma because I read there a little bit about what I would see and the film somehow complies with some of its precepts, a few, like the fact - for example - that it was filmed with handheld camera.

That was also the day I met Björk. And as the years went by I learned that she had never acted in films again, because she preferred to devote herself to her striking musical career.

I like her songs, her music and how cool she tends to be. I saw this short today of her explaining why she doesn't like to sign autographs. I loved it.

As for the songs I have my favorites. I could mention, for example, jóga, and back to the arena. Today I am connected to the sand, in many beautiful ways.

And as I circled that black surface, I thought about how hard my life has been to get to where I am, and how I have yet to learn.

What do I seek, what do I want, what do I desire? Perhaps these are a bit complex to answer now, and I don't think many people are even clear on this. But I do, which maybe I have lacked action. Or I just put things off.

I was looking for freedom. In a way I've had it. I wanted to be me, without ballast, without questioning. Well, every day I am more myself, and I don't make concessions with this. In all these years I have been trying to be my best version. And my desire has always been to be honest with myself and others. When I think about Björk I feel that she is authentic and honest with herself, and with her art.

I've been very quiet today. I just write a little and think of sands... hourglasses, maybe in poetry when I hear her say:

While you are away

My heart comes undone

Slowly unravels

In a ball of yarn

I know. I have my own cage and inside it also my freedom. Incredible as it may seem to you, I don't just want to dream. I have this life and I also have a wish list.

I hope I can fulfill it, because I put all my faith and my heart in it.

Björk is one of those artists that I have always found curious and mysterious. I don't know much about her history or her music, but it is clear to me that she is unique and special.

Her answer as to why she doesn't sign autographs speaks to the idiosyncrasies of her country, it certainly makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for sharing part of your feelings. It was a pleasure to read you.

she is unique and special.

Oh yes, it is only because she is authentic. Because she is herself. And that's what this post is about.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it here and that your time was not wasted.

Regards ✨

Nani gracias por recordarme la película es una de mis preferidas por lo que me impactó, qué mujer fuerte y persistente qué horror las cosas que le pasan. Quiero volverla a ver las tres veces que la vi en el cine lloré ruidosamente.

Me encantan tus posts Nani, me divierte leerlos, cambias de un tema a otro con una facilidad sorprendente, sueltas lo que piensas y vuelves a coger el hilo y tejes tu historia. Esta publicación está buenísima, las playas de Islandia.......exóticas y bellas, la razón por qué Björk no firma autógrafos....super sincera, vive como piensa, bien por ella. Vi la pelicula hace mucho, estremecedora, debería volver a verla, hay detalles que mi memoria olvidó. Una soberbia actuación, lástima que lo vivido la alejó para siempre del cine. Espero el próximo!!!

What a story that is: Smoking as some contrast to the sea! No clue, but seems to me more marketing than anything else 😂 That said, did you quit smoking?

Iceland is a place on our planet I still like to visit. Never been. Björk was perhaps the first who made me much aware of this Iceland ... owww wait ... her first album is only in 1993, hummm... then she isn't the first who drew my eyes (and mind) to Iceland. Perhaps she intensified it for me 🙃

I really 😍 Björk as an artist (never seen any of her few movies), not just for the music, but also the way she is approaching much of it. Different styles of promoting. Early entry in blockchain technology. Working together with 3D-printing artists and what not. For sure she is very much an exploring type who is at the cutting edge of innovation, in what she does, as well as in her art itself.

I quit smoking, thankfully, but sometimes I feel a lot of cravings, like I said. You know @edge I always make things up and go into tunnels and form tremendous entanglements. It's my mind that is a bit weird.

If you think about it, I'm sure you'll live it. One day you're going to tell me: nanixxx, guess what, I'm in Reykjavik.

I really 😍 Björk as an artist...

I have to confess to you that after I responded in your post yesterday, I started writing, motivated in part by that you have mentioned. I connected things. What I had written about Dogma, her as revolutionary as she is, her unique and spectacular way of being... mind you, maybe she is a crazy person... I don't know her personally {hahahaha} you may do it first, but however she may be, I love her.

And I'm also glad you like my post.

🤗 thank you, edge.

You say weird, I say fantastic. How cool is it to travel through all sorts of thoughts and connect things that seem weird to others 🙃 In the end everything somehow is connected. It's always fun to find these entanglements. Well, as long as it is not negatively loaded, mentally. Mind you, I also see a connection between Dogma and my post. From your post, I understand Dogma is a set of rules for filming that must be applied. While my post was about no rules to define an artist/DJ. Hmm, now I have written it down, it doesn't say exactly how I 'feel' the connecting, but am not able to better articulate it at the moment (uhm, will I tomorrow? perhaps not 😂).

Hahaha... but the important thing is that even without finding the connection you have done your best to find it. It will come. 😅

You say weird, I say fantastic.

Thank you 🤗

An imaginary trip to Iceland, that sounds great, more inspired by such beautiful music. I've been on journeys that take me to unsuspected worlds. With meditation, and it's great. Always with music in the background, inspired by music.

How beautiful this song, love and imagination, thoughts that fly and take you wherever you want. We all live in cages, I think, but inside them, our heads, thought is free.

Dream, think and feel and you will attract what you want, that's how it works. That's how it works.

I love reading you .... what a great imaginary journey!❤️

Oh, but what nice things you say to me. Thank you @avdesing, Of course, that's how it works. It is to be aligned with the principle that the Universe is mental and what you think about manifests.

:) Have a nice day. 😋 🐣

I smoked a cigarette days ago, just one. But what is called smoking as a habit I think I've lost count already.

Gracias 😌
