Lately I’ve been keeping busy with a bunch of stuff I can’t show anyone yet, so here’s an old favorite for now. Im excited and terrified for all the things I’m hoping to do in 2022. I think that counts as optimism, right?

Hi all.
It’s time to take a little break from military statistics.

“Hay una bestia en mí. Destruyo a aquellos a quienes no puedo controlar. Debo cerciorarme de que las personas cercanas a mí tienen intereses idénticos a los míos. Soy benévolo dentro de esa estructura. Fuera de ella soy un ser horrendo."⠀
⠀
"There is a beast in me. I destroy those whom I cannot control. I must make sure that people close to me have interests identical to mine. I am benevolent within that structure. Outside of her I am a hideous being."⠀

“Los hombres se engañan al creerse libres; y el motivo de esta opinión es que tienen conciencia de sus acciones, pero ignoran las causas por que son determinadas; por tanto, lo que constituye su idea de libertad, es que no conocen causa alguna de sus acciones."⠀
⠀
"Men delude themselves by believing themselves free; and the reason for this opinion is that they are aware of their actions, but ignore the causes by which they are determined; therefore, what constitutes their idea of ​​freedom is that they do not know any cause of their actions."⠀

“Entre tantas incertidumbres, con todo, una cosa es cierta: si dejamos morir lo gratuito, si renunciamos a la fuerza generadora de lo inútil, si escuchamos únicamente el mortífero canto de sirenas que nos impele a perseguir el beneficio, sólo seremos capaces de producir una colectividad enferma y sin memoria que, extraviada, acabará por perder el sentido de sí misma y de la vida. Y en ese momento, cuando la desertificación del espíritu nos haya agostado, será en verdad difícil imaginar que el ignorante homo sapiens pueda desempeñar todavía un papel en la tarea de hacer más humana la humanidad…"⠀
⠀
"Among so many uncertainties, however, one thing is certain: if we let the gratuitous die, if we renounce the generating force of the useless, if we listen only to the deadly siren song that impels us to pursue profit, we will only be able to produce a a sick community with no memory that, lost, will end up losing the sense of itself and of life. And at that moment, when the desertification of the spirit has withered us, it will be really difficult to imagine that the ignorant homo sapiens can still play a role in the task of making humanity more human…"⠀

ROBINSON⠀
⠀
Mi abuela es mi más querida⠀
amiga de infancia⠀
desde que tratábamos⠀
de salvar a Robinson en su isla desierta⠀
y juntos gritábamos por las cosas⠀
que sufría Gulliver a manos⠀
de los liliputienses.⠀

ROBINSON⠀

Grandma is my dearest⠀
Childhood friend⠀
Ever since we tried⠀
Saving Robinson from his deserted island⠀
And cried together over things⠀
Gulliver suffered in the hands⠀
Of the Lilliputians.⠀

“La vida está llena de hermosuras impredecibles y sorpresas extrañas. A veces, la belleza me supera y no sé cómo afrontarla. ¿Conoces la sensación? ¿Cuando algo es demasiado hermoso? ¿Cuando alguien dice algo o escribe algo o toca algo que te conmueve hasta las lágrimas, o que llega incluso a cambiarte? Está bien cuando un no creyente tiene que cuestionar sus propias dudas. Quizá fuera eso lo que me condujo de entrada a la música. Parecía magia. Bastaba con añadir música y ya era capaz de trascender la lamentable situación de mi entorno, y convertirla incluso en algo positivo."⠀
⠀
"Life is full of unpredictable beauties and strange surprises. Sometimes beauty overwhelms me and I don’t know how to deal with it. Do you know the feeling? When is something too beautiful? When someone says something or writes something or touches something that moves you to tears, or even changes you? It is okay when an unbeliever has to question his own doubts. Perhaps that was what first led me to music. It seemed like magic. It was enough to add music and I was already able to transcend the unfortunate situation in my environment, and even turn it into something positive."⠀

Regresar es ⠀
volver a ocuparse⠀
de devolver a la tierra⠀
el polvo de los últimos meses;⠀
recibir del mundo⠀
el correo dormido⠀
intentar saber⠀
cuánto dura⠀
una memoria de paloma.⠀
También reconocerse⠀
como una abeja más⠀
que es para la colmena⠀
apenas una unidad que zumba. ⠀
Eso, sólo una abeja más⠀
muy prescindible⠀
______________⠀
Return is⠀
get back to business⠀
to return to earth⠀
the dust of the last few months;⠀
receive from the world⠀
the sleeping mail⠀
try to know⠀
how long does it last⠀
a memory of a dove.⠀
Also recognize yourself⠀
like one more bee⠀
what is for the hive⠀
just a buzzing unit.⠀
That, just one more bee⠀
very expendable⠀

VAN GOGH, LOS OTROS Y YO⠀
⠀
Sería mejor para el mundo⠀
que yo no apareciera en mis Obras.⠀
Alguien que sentía algo parecido cogió un cuchillo⠀
y se cortó la oreja poseído por la tristeza.⠀
A pesar de todo lo que con tanto esfuerzo había pintado,⠀
era incapaz de encontrar la paz.⠀
Lo torturaba algo como un crimen⠀
que no conseguía callar,⠀
porque hay algo en nosotros que quiere fundirse⠀
con todo lo perceptible y lo imperceptible.⠀
No podemos borrar nuestras huellas⠀
y luchamos por un período de gracia⠀
para demostrar nuestra inocencia.⠀
Más, al mismo tiempo, nadie nos acusa.⠀
No les importamos ni a los dioses ni a los ancianos.⠀
Vivimos de la megalomanía⠀
que mostramos ante el juicio del mundo,⠀
ante el cual se justifica toda palabra.⠀
Y se ve cada pincelada.⠀
Y con alguno se demuestra: que no se ha equivocado.⠀
⠀
VAN GOGH, THE OTHERS AND I⠀
⠀
It would be better for the world⠀
that I did not appear in my Works.⠀
Someone who felt something similar took a knife⠀
and cut off his ear possessed by sadness.⠀
In spite of all that with so much effort I had painted,⠀
he was unable to find peace.⠀
Something tortured him like a crime⠀
that I could not shut up,⠀
because there is something in us that wants to melt⠀
with everything perceptible and imperceptible.⠀
We cannot erase our tracks⠀
and we fight for a grace period⠀
To prove our innocence⠀
More, at the same time, nobody accuses us.⠀
Neither the gods nor the elders care about us.⠀
We live from megalomania⠀
that we show before the judgment of the world,⠀
before whom every word is justified.⠀
And you see every brushstroke.⠀
And with some it is shown: that he has not been wrong.⠀
⠀
