I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

These photographs were taken a few days ago from an airplane flying to a certain destination, of little importance at this moment what it was.
They correspond to a trip whose goal was not only to reach a place, but also to close a cycle that began 20 years ago. On December 13, 2004. I needed to take distance, savor the moment and share it with people who appreciate me, away from the daily routine, from the stimuli that set in motion the automatisms, that living without being present.
These images are a sample of my current passage through this world. Not so many years ago, they surely would not have been possible. To capture these moments, I had to choose a window seat and a flight with a specific departure time.
My reason for choosing a window seat is very simple. I am a privileged person who is able to travel several times a year out of town. A privileged person who has the opportunity to see reality from places that neither Napoleon nor Julius Caesar could see. A privileged person who is not willing to miss even one of those unique moments that will never come back.
There is a lot of insistence on the need to integrate and implement good habits to achieve any goal. I do not doubt it, but habits are addictive. Francis Bacon already warned us that anything repeated several times becomes a pleasure. I would say that habits, even good habits, can become a prison.
This happens when habits become an end and not a means. In a satisfaction by themselves, away from their initial purpose: to achieve a goal that brings us happiness.
I was talking to @palomap3 a few days ago about death and happiness. I have passed the halfway point of my life, I have far fewer years left to live than I have lived. There are loved ones who are no longer with me. Some time ago I decided not to be the first or the second or the third in anything, not to stand out, not to be the best, not to be recognized. Long ago I made the decision to live.
The awareness of death has become something very important for me, I share with Paloma that it is liberating. Death turns life into a small miracle, and I can assure you that I have no intention of not taking advantage of this opportunity built of singular moments.
Going back to these images I present today, they were made possible because someone decided, at some point in their life, that the journey was at least as important as the goal.
Another decision made, and closely related to the above, is the decision to live from vulnerability. I can appreciate this quite clearly in the soundtrack that accompanies me today.
I hope you enjoy these photographs taken by a human being who is starting a new cycle in his life.
Thank you for joining me.

Hello! @enraizar.
I imagine you're back. Very thoughtful about life and death, the separator, which not many years ago I saw as so far away, and today I feel closer.
I don't think I fear it, but there is a part of this journey that begins to bother me. My strength wanes, my eyes get tired sooner and even though I get used to it, the sudden appearance, for no apparent reason, of a pain like sciatica makes me utter some bad words.
As the reservation is secure for that last flight, while the unknown day arrives, I try to enjoy it and learn something new. Just like my laptop, which I thought was dying and all it took was a blow and thermal paste on the heat sink to run like new.
Merry Christmas.
One who also passed the equator and whose knees hurt one day and another day something else, wishes you a Merry Christmas @felixmarranz and family (although I think that, now, the correct thing to say is Happy Holidays😟).
A big hug from Madrid.
¡Feliz Navidad!
Salvo que no la compartas. Me declaro en rebeldía de la nueva corrección y otras modas. Te respondí mediante el traductor por seguir la corriente de la publicación, pero prefiero el español.
Espero que esto no afecte tu relación con esta comunidad de fotografías de m. ¡Curioso nombre!
Desde Buenos Aires, un fraternal abrazo de feliz Navidad y todo lo demás.
Feliz Navidad, mi estimado @felixmarranz. No creo que tenga problemas en esta comunidad. Y sobre la " corrección", siempre he sido un incorrecto. 🤣
Interesante nada está quieto. Saludos
El asgua estancada se pudre..., un abrazo muy grande Yolernis.
I hope you have a wonderful time with this trip my friend.
I loved the photos and the sunset, good post my dear.... Cheers.
Thank you very much my friend, I'm so glad to see you here, and that you enjoyed the trip!

Beautiful sunsets and spectacular views of a city, full of souls that die and live.
Welcome to your new life @enraizar 2.0, you know I know.
A hug.
Thank you very much @manclar, you know that I know that you know. 🤣
The views are spectacular, but moreover, I connect with the energy of those moments, when it's neither day nor night, it's the prelude to the new. I used to enjoy the night more, now it seems it's the call of change, of the new that calls me.
Thank you my friend.
I forgot to say that the music is very appropriate, very pulp fiction and Tarantesque. You just need to become a "Sin City" style comic, and I think the evolution will have been completed.
Deciding to live is the best decision. Life is so short... every second we waste after that weighs an eternity.
The images are beautiful, it is the closest to flying that I can imagine and today I have done it thanks to you.
Welcome to your new life, dear friend.
Thank you very much Paloma, for being there, and for accompanying me in this new life.
A big hug 🫂
Life is very short and mystical @enraizar 🥰🥰, I really liked this post and the way you manage to capture the beauty of the sky and of course, the very beautiful chaos in which we live hehe (that would be the cosmopolitan city) 🥰.
Greetings and I hope u have a merry Xmas 🙌🏽
Thank you (de verdad), stop by hispapro, we are waiting for you.
Graciass 🩷 si para allá voy jeje
🏃♀️
Fantastic! This view brings back memories!
The new cycles are necessary to evolve... life and death... I discovered that I don't die only change, there is no death there is transformation, I will no longer be in this body. That makes life live in a different way.
Beautiful pictures!
Thank you very much @avdesing, on the previous trip you were there, and I hope to see you many times on the new trip. un abrazo muy grande @avdesing.
May travel always be beneficial!✨
Thank you very much!! 🐦.
🤗
Gracias por todo 🤗
No es nada!! Buenas noches!
incredible and shocking
!HUESO
!BHRT
Thank you very much Mistico.
How great that you can be that privileged person and can take those moments that fill the heart, I love sunrises, sunsets and starry nights. I am in that position of being able to live life, doing the things I like within my possibilities of course. a big hug 🤗💐 @enraizar
I am privileged to have the good fortune to receive visits like yours. It makes me happy to have you here, and what you tell me about your moment in life. Be happy @karelysk89.
Un abrazo muy grande.
We cannot miss out on life, there are always windows to look at it and then open doors to live it. ¡Y muchos vuelos más!
I loved your post. And congratulations. I am hyper happy for you.
Thank you very, very much @nanixxx, for joining me in this adventure. I am very grateful.
😄
I am delighted to accompany you and to see that there are many who also accompany you. I liked the background music, and also what you say about habits. It is true. They suffocate us if we are not happy, intrinsically happy.
Today I was listening to solfeggio waves. I washed and greased my bikes, cleaned the house a bit, cooked, read, explained things about Hive and cryptocurrencies to luisdrian (the guy who accompanied me on the trip to Old Havana).... I must sleep now.
A hug.
Happy dreams @nanixxx, and again, thank you so much for joining me.
It's a pleasure, I told you! Grrrrrr! 😆 hahahaha... see you soon.
👋🏻
👋
@enraizar Saludos amigo que bueno que estes de regreso con las pilas recargadas, un placer siempre saludarle...Bendiciones
Muchas gracias @cayitus63 🤗
Muy lindas fotos, espero que inicie un ciclo muy lindo
Muchas gracias @angeluxx.
Sometimes it happens that you have to close cycles to move forward, good images you give us, the best of success in the stage that begins, Merry Christmas.
Thank you very much, I am sure that what is to come will be very good. And I hope to share it with the people I appreciate and admire in Hive, as is your case.
A big hug @mariiale1979.
Amen time will tell a hug @enraizar
I forgot, Merry Christmas! @mariiale1979.
I'm going to see if you've posted anything, I know you've been having trouble with your phone.
Hugs.
mas bacano, viajar en avion
Dentro de poco lo harás tú 😉. Si no me equivoco... Te esperamos por Europa.
estamos esperando mi pasaporte en la embajada porque soy inmigrante, ya mis compañeros estan en Gran Bretaña y yo tuve que quedarme, esperando solucionar mi problema en inmigración, mal muy malo bacano mal
Qué pena!, espero que la situación se arregle pronto y puedas volar.
Un abrazo.
Se me había pasado comentarte el post, ¡qué horror! Y eso que lo vi el día de la curación 🤣. Las fotos están increíbles, son preciosas todas, nada como capturar imágenes desde la ventana de un avión 🤗. En cuanto a la reflexión del principio, no podría estar más de acuerdo, la ansiedad nos hace vivir en el futuro y no enfocarnos en el presente, yo he aprendido a enfocarme más en lo que tengo en estos momentos. Así se vive más tranquilo. Excelente post como siempre @enraizar 🤗, saludos.
Nunca es tarde @vezo, y más para mis visitantes más queridos. Gracias por el comentario, como siempre, elogioso.
Me tomo la vida como un viaje, y poco a poco voy aprendiendo a pararme durante la travesía.... y no soy el único.
Un abrazo muy grande.
