Hola Comunidad de Hive…! Aquí con mi taza de café me dispongo a compartirles parte de mi tiempo en estos tiempos. Y sin ánimo de que sea una historia más o la mía, esta forma parte de ese proceso que les compartí en mi introduceyourself.
Coexisten con nosotros unos “organismos vivos” que crecen sin poder moverse y te dicen mucho sin necesidad de hablarte y como todo ser vivo también se reproducen. Me refiero a las plantas o matas que tengo en mi casa y que muchos tenemos por lo general para adornar, o llenar un espacio, porque alguien nos las obsequió o simplemente nos dijeron: hey..! Tienes que tener por lo menos una en tu hogar, o naturalmente es nuestra necesidad o deseo de tenerlas; y es que en definitiva no se puede compartir la vida, si no es con la vida.
Hello Hive Community...! Here with my cup of coffee I am ready to share with you part of my time in these times. And without wanting it to be one more story or mine, this is part of the process that I shared with you in my introduceyourself.
Coexist with us some "living organisms" that grow without being able to move and tell you a lot without needing to talk to you and like all living beings they also reproduce. I am referring to the plants or bushes that I have in my house and that many of us usually have to decorate, or fill a space, because someone gave them to us as a gift or simply told us: hey! You have to have at least one in your home, or naturally it is our need or desire to have them; and is that ultimately you can not share life, if not with life.
Y entre ese cuido obvio y muchas casi obligado, pues si no las riegas pueden morir, seguí mis días. Ya sin trabajar y por la pandemia, comencé a dedicarle solo un poco más tiempo o atención. Y ellas comenzaron a sorprenderme; comencé a emocionarme con sus flores, sus colores, sus frutos, sus retoños. Y se volvió casi una adicción levantarme ir baño y salir a verlas, y pasar casi hasta una hora entre tomarle fotos y más fotos y subirlas a mi Instagram; y para después desayunar y todo lo demás.
And between that obvious care and many almost obligatory, because if you don't water them they can die, I went on with my days. No longer working and because of the pandemic, I began to dedicate just a little more time or attention to them. And they began to surprise me; I started to get excited with their flowers, their colors, their fruits, their shoots. And it became almost an addiction to get up, go to the bathroom and go out to see them, and spend almost an hour between taking pictures and more pictures and uploading them to my Instagram; and then having breakfast and everything else.
Vivo en un apartamento por ende no tengo muchas plantas por cuestión de espacio. Pero tengo de Sábila, Jades, de Rosas, Calas, Lirio y otras. Pero tenemos también de Fresas, sí fresas y se han dado satisfactoriamente y en nos han deleitado el paladar de forma muy especial, porque son de nuestra pequeñita cosecha.
I live in an apartment so I do not have many plants because of space. But I have Aloe, Jades, Roses, Calla lilies, Lilies and others. But we also have Strawberries, yes strawberries and they have been satisfactory and have delighted our palate in a very special way, because they are from our small harvest.
Fueron cada vez más días y mañanas donde me quedaba casi sin aliento, emocionada, y se dibujaba una sonrisa instantánea en mi rostro de ver como estaban, en cada hoja, flor y como se reproducían. Me sorprendían y muchas veces me parecía increíble cómo siendo incluso tan pequeñas ya daban flores y frutos. Comencé a notar o a sentir que algo decían (o me decían); algo más allá de devolverme en belleza, flores y frutos por el cuido que les daba, ahora que les dedicaba un poco más de tiempo. Todas me indicaron algo, incluso aquellas a las que les daba tanta importancia.
There were more and more days and mornings where I was almost breathless, excited, and an instant smile was drawn on my face to see how they were, in each leaf, flower and how they reproduced. I was amazed and many times it seemed incredible to me how even being so small they already bore flowers and fruits. I began to notice or to feel that they were saying something (or telling me); something beyond giving me back in beauty, flowers and fruits for the care I was giving them, now that I was dedicating a little more time to them. They all indicated something to me, even those to which I gave so much importance.
Ellas estaban siendo y viviendo… como siempre antes y ahora (solo que para estos instantes con “tiempo de sobra” lo notaba más). Y me dije: que cuarentena, ni que pandemia (sí es cierto y hay que cuidarse y sobre todo ser conscientes y responsables). Estamos es en resguardo, pero NO estamos detenidos, no estamos paralizados, ni el mundo tampoco, como todos creen o nos hicieron creer cuando este virus se desató.
They were being and living... as always before and now (only that for these moments with "time to spare" I noticed it more). And I said to myself: what a quarantine, what a pandemic (yes it is true and we must take care of ourselves and above all be aware and responsible). We are in shelter, but we are NOT stopped, we are not paralyzed, neither is the world, as everyone believes or made us believe when this virus was unleashed.
Con o por ese contacto con mis matas, rápidamente me di cuenta que este virus no vino a cambiar el mundo ni a detenerlo, ni tampoco iba a perecer en un corto, mediano o largo plazo; entre otras cosas porque sin ser una experta en la materia no se de algún “virus” que haya extinguido en su totalidad. Vino para quedarse y hemos de aprender a vivir con él, como otras pandemias. Se decía incesantemente: el mundo cambio y se detuvo; pero no, aquí el que tiene cambiar eres tú, yo y un gentío, pues la Tierra sigue girando, el sol, la luna y las estrellas brillando y la naturaleza siguió en su ritmo sin detenerse. Incluso algunas manifestaciones naturales se dieron o se vieron en su máximo esplendor; pues en nuestra pausa dejamos de atacarla.
With or because of that contact with my plants, I quickly realized that this virus did not come to change the world or to stop it, nor was it going to perish in the short, medium or long term; among other things because without being an expert on the subject, I do not know of any "virus" that has been totally extinguished. It came to stay and we have to learn to live with it, like other pandemics. It was said incessantly: the world changed and stopped; but no, here the one who has to change is you, me and a crowd, because the Earth continues to rotate, the sun, the moon and the stars shining and nature continued in its rhythm without stopping. Even some natural manifestations were given or were seen in their maximum splendor; because in our pause we stopped attacking it.
Cada día mis maticas comenzaron a darme lecciones de vida. Veía con asombro y emoción como siendo algunas tan pequeñitas y retoños recién salidos, incluso estando en materos muy pequeños y/o junto con otras plantas, no se detuvieron en su función, e independientemente de las que tuvieran al lado; ellas ya daban frutos y flores, incluso hasta de color distinto aun siendo de la misma planta. Empecé a escuchar lo que decían: no importa dónde estés, o si tienes poco espacio o si lo compartes, o si eres muy pequeño; que la diversidad se hace presente y todos cabemos en este mundo.
Que si tú quieres florecer y dar frutos, solo tienes que convencerte de lo eres, cuál es tu función en este mundo y hacerlo, eso esto todo; no necesitas de más, te necesitas a ti mismo. Entendí que yo no estaba detenida, ni paralizada, ni acabada; porque me había quedado sin trabajo, o por mi edad, por la situación económica o por la pandemia.
Every day my maticas began to give me life lessons. I saw with astonishment and emotion how, being some of them so tiny and with recently emerged shoots, even being in very small nurseries and/or together with other plants, they did not stop in function, and independently of the ones next to them; they already bore fruits and flowers, even with different colors even if they were from the same plant. I began to listen to what they were saying: it doesn't matter where you are, or if you have little space or if you share it, or if you are very small; that diversity is present and we all fit in this world.
That if you want to flourish and bear fruit, you just have to convince yourself of what you are, what your role in this world is and do it, that's all; you don't need anything else, you need yourself. I understood that I was not stopped, nor paralyzed, nor finished; because I had lost my job, or because of my age, or because of the economic situation or because of the pandemic.
Yo no pretendo que tengas matas, que hables con ellas (yo si lo hago, por cierto), y ellas en definitiva me devuelven ese amor, porque el amor no puede sino no devolver amor. Solo dejo algunas situaciones que vivo y mi sentir; es tú libertad tomar lo que quieras de estas líneas. Mi intención no es que tu vida de un giro; y si ha de ser, pues será tú decisión y seguro ocurrirá en la mejor época, porque será “tú momento”.
I do not pretend that you have matas, that you talk to them (I do, by the way), and they ultimately return that love to me, because love can only return love. I only leave some situations that I live and my feelings; it is your freedom to take what you want from these lines. My intention is not that your life takes a turn; and if it has to be, it will be your decision and it will surely happen at the best time, because it will be "your moment".
Tan solo sugiero:
Que mires a tú alrededor: siempre hay algo, alguien o una cosa indicándote, diciéndote algo.
Que cuides a la naturaleza: sin pedir nada tan excepcional a cambio, solo “cuido” claro. Te da mucho y más de lo que crees, empezando por el aíre que respiras; sin ella no podrías respirar.
Que no dudes de ti: pero si lo haces no te quedes en con esa duda; búscate aun cuando exista el temor o no te guste lo que puedas hallar.
Nunca creas: que vas lento, que no creces, que eres pequeño y por eso no puedes. O si te detuviste, y de ser así seguro es por algo; solo tienes que estar atento y dispuesto a ver.
Yo, al igual que la naturaleza, no pretendo que cambies ni pedirte algo a cambio; mi vida no es la tuya. Pero, si con esto puedo ser la plantita que te hablo, o te indico algo… yo me doy por satisfecha.
PD: disculpen tantas fotos. La selección fue muy difícil, tengo muchas y quería colocarlas todas…jajaja
I only suggest:
- That you look around you: there is always something, someone or something telling you, telling you something.
- That you take care of nature:** without asking for anything so exceptional in return, just "care" of course. It gives you much and more than you think, starting with the air you breathe; without it you could not breathe.
- Don't doubt yourself:** but if you do, don't stay with that doubt; look for yourself even when there is fear or you don't like what you can find.
- Never believe:** that you are slow, that you are not growing, that you are small and that is why you cannot. Or if you stopped, and if so, it is surely for a reason; you just have to be attentive and willing to see.
I, like nature, do not expect you to change or ask for something in return; my life is not yours. But, if with this I can be the little plant that talks to you, or point out something to you... I am satisfied.
PS: sorry for so many photos. The selection was very difficult, I have so many and I wanted to put them all... hahaha.
