Its a lil effort to read in Spanish, lots of words I dont know but as Im reading the rest of the words that I do know let me get the gyst and yes Im understanding. Its easier than Shakespheare or old English for me actually. Im circling words I wana ask my Dad what they mean, im not stopping to look them up everytime, its a documentation of his life story and its so impressive! My Dad was born in Spain in 1941 and for that he has lived a lot of life, hes a very kind and fair man, hes an intellectual, he is a poet and he is very talented. Through his life experinces he gained great knowledge from his story and from his mentors. Even his good mentors were at times greedy and making a living was just as hard as it was for anybody. The road less traveled is the one of the artist, Id say. Im incredibly proud and amazed. By reading this book Im seeing our similarities. He didnt tell me about his life much bc he didnt like to boast, he was beyond humble to the point of putting himself down to be funny or charismatic but Ive learned that isnt a good thing to do. I was a lot like him, I learned his ways and the perfectionism is unattainable so its important we understand that and not suffer. Life has been steered by political leaders and the fight for control and its been forceful and people had to go serve in the military. Many of them didnt want to but were forced to. I like discipline, i like pushing your body, being sharp, having order, having manners. But life is supposed to be full of responsible fun, free will, nature, tons of movement! Learning to take care of ourselves, the land, self reliant, & helping others, each other. The roots of our problems need some adjusting. As we pay others to do the jobs we dont want to do we learn how we are mistaken. While u pay for someone to clean ur house then u go spend time at the gym… cleaning house is a form of gym. The time we have, this life time, we have to choose to spend it wisely, life is money! Its a living, breathing, multiplying, abundant machine for our conveniance, to use best, the blessings are here! Why are they so far away and not more immersed into our day to day? The beach is healing and for all but we have made it for the elite w not enough conviance and parking. The rules upon rules arent just for us but for them to protect us most importantly. To protect us from what? Well, like good parents teach their kids how to best survive and fuction so much the system to children w the schools letting kids think outside the box instead of memorize answers or spelling. The kids can garden and cook and clean as well as learn things.
Traveling is imperative! Families could get more vacation time. In Europe its a month, here its two weeks. More family discounts. More functional life style, routines and time to do nothing at all for people to live in leisure, self care, create.
Working so hard his whole life and then when he retired he was already too old to get in a kayak w me. He gave his life to the industry. We need our time w parents!
