Hola amigo,
Happy Three Point Thursday!
This week’s edition is a call to wake up to this moment.
Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha.
“Siddhartha learned something new with every step of his journey, for the world was transformed and his heart was under an enchantment…All this had always existed, but he had not seen it; he had not been present. Now he was present, he belonged to it all. Through his eyes light and shadow raced, through his heart stars and moon raced.”
Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity.
“If my happiness at this moment consists largely in reviewing happy memories and expectations, I am but dimly aware of this present. I shall still be dimly aware of the present when the good things that I have been expecting come to pass. For I shall have formed a habit of looking behind and ahead, making it difficult for me to attend to the here and now. If, then, my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world.”
Gabriel García Márquez, Cien años de soledad.
“—Ay, hijo —suspiró—. A mí me bastaría con estar seguro de que tú y yo existimos en este momento.” (“Oh, son,” he sighed. It would be enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment.)
Keep shooting,
