The ugly words of 2020

-

This year so far, I have learnt a lot of ugly words. And that in all the languages I speak.

    Es triste lo que hay detrás (lo que está sufriendo todo el planeta), pero es bella la idea de plasmarlo en palabras.

      ¡Gracias, Au! Era mi manera de expresar mi tristeza, pero aún mucho más, de gritar mi rabia hacia medidas muchas veces absurdas. Y de agradecer a ciertas personas que luchan para que triunfe la verdad un día.

    So interesting, Chani - and thought-provoking! I know a lot of people are tired of the restrictions - there are protests across Europe, I've heard - but what are they protesting against? If we don't control the virus, there will be even more restrictions and deaths. I must say, personally, I don't actually experience much of these restrictions and I'm happy working from home but I know a lot of people have lost their jobs, so I guess I'm just lucky? Also, I think introverted people have an easier time in lockdown - all three of us in my small family (even our teenage son!) are introverts, so we don't find the restrictions difficult at all. I feel sorry for people who have a hard time...

      I am also rather introverted, but I am suffering because I haven't got much work those last months, which is not astonishing, as many activities were prohibited, postponed... People are protesting because they have lost their work, think the future of their kids is in danger without a "real" school, and/or think lockdowns are not the appropriate response and will generate more deaths than the virus itself (doctors and other specialists also have different opinions on this, time will tell who was right at the end).

    PS It's great that you speak so many languages! I can just about make out some of German and Spanish words!

      Thank you. In fact, I speak more languages than those but I prefered to concentrate on some of them.

Water reservoir in Álora

September, finally! Temperatures are dropping (a bit, at least in the mornings and evenings), which is a good thing. We are even expecting some rain tomorrow. Water reservoirs in the province really need to be filled. I am looking forward to hiking during the day instead of getting up in the middle of the night.

End of the Year Again

I find it difficult to look back and to look forward because I am someone who lives in the present. Since I don't know what tomorrow will bring, I don't want to worry too much about what I will do, won't do or should avoid. But one thing is certain: in 2024, I will hold on, just as I did in 2023. Trying not to hurt others, trying to live reducing my carbon footprint. Living with eyes wide open to see beauty wherever it is. Making art out of it. May love and happiness be yours this holiday season! Water greens in Benalmádena (Andalusia, Spain) Shells on the beach in Benalmádena
