As nobody was watching you

Drive in the left side of the road, travel hundreds of kilometers without a route, sing in the car, talk about one self, enjoy the silence, pause beside Dallywood’s hill to take a picture, tremble crossing a hanging bridge, dance on it, play in the grass, play with the grass and laugh.

Jump in the stones, watch a chimney into a mountain, discovery a Picasso, go to a festival, listen the live music, drink a pint, eat a hamburger,   see the kids rolling on the floor, roll with them, arrive to end of the world where the way ends, build a hotel in the car, have cold.

Dawn and see the sun going out from the seabed, wake up together in the middle of nowhere, have a breakfast in the sea, cross a desert, run naked on the beach until go into the water, write your name on the sand, practice tai chi?, be free.

Find a fifteen meters waterfall going out from nowhere, swim in the sea in underwear, explore some caves, collect mussels and sunbathe until it stars to rain.

Stop in anywhere looking for another beach, taste blackberries, climb to the top of the world beside the sea, lose track of time, have a siesta surrounded by people, see the sheep feeding in a place impossible to go to, take hitchhikers.

Cross a bridge to an island, admire a mountain close to the sea, hug to Chaplin, have seafood for lunch, watch you driving, look at you when I’m driving and you sleep, take a picture of a cloud tangled to a mountain that they look as a volcano, enjoy driving, stop in a valley full of lakes, explore an abbey in ruins, walk between the graves, climb a tree, find an island in the middle of a lake.

Wake up, get mad with myself to don’t know to say what I feel, find a witch in a forest, kiss the stone of the eloquence, smoke a cigarette in the druid’s circle, see an angel playing the trumpet.

Be a child, take pictures, find the details that anyone else see, run for run, swing in a park, laugh, dream awake, look into the eyes, wonder, smile, respect, be independents, surprise, be together, be free...

Be beautiful when you dance as nobody was watching you.

Como si nadie estuviera mirando

Conducir por la izquierda, recorrer miles de kilómetros sin dirección fija, cantar en el coche, hablar de uno mismo, disfrutar del silencio, detenerse en la colina de Dallywood a hacerse una foto, temblar al cruzar un puente colgante, bailar en él, jugar en la hierba, jugar con la hierba y reír.

Saltar por las piedras, ver una chimenea en una montaña, descubrir un Picasso, ir a un Festival, disfrutar de la música en directo, beber una pinta, comer una hamburguesa, ver los niños rodar por los suelos, rodar con ellos, llegar al fin del mundo donde se acaba el camino, construir un hotel en el coche, pasar frío.

Amanecer con el sol saliendo del fondo del mar, despertar juntos en medio de ningún lugar, desayunar en el mar, cruzar un desierto, correr desnudos por la playa hasta meterte en el agua, escribir tu nombre en la arena, hacer tai chi?, ser libres.

Encontrar una cascada de 15 metros que sale de la nada, bañarse en ropa interior, explorar unas cuevas, coger mejillones, tomar el sol hasta que empieza a llover.

Parar en cualquier lugar buscando otra playa, comer moras, escalar a la cima del mundo al lado del mar, perder la noción del tiempo, dormir la siesta rodeados de gente, ver a las ovejas pastar en un lugar imposible de llegar, coger a unos autoestopistas.

Cruzar por un puente a una isla, admirar una montaña al lado del mar, abrazar a Chaplin, comer marisco, ver como conduces, mirarte mientras conduzco y tú duermes, fotografiar una nube atrapada en una montaña que la convierte en volcán, disfrutar conduciendo, parar en un valle lleno de lagos, explorar una abadía en ruinas, pasear entre las tumbas, escalar un árbol, admirar una isla en medio de un lago.

Despertar, enfadarse con uno mismo por no saber decir lo que siente, encontrar una bruja en un bosque, besar la piedra de la elocuencia, fumar un cigarro en el corro de los druidas, encontrar un ángel dorado tocando la trompeta.

Ser un niño, hacer fotos, encontrar los detalles que nadie más ve, correr por correr, columpiarse en un parque, reír, soñar despiertos, mirarse a los ojos, admirarse, sonreír, respetarse, ser independientes, sorprenderse, estar juntos, ser libres…

Estar preciosa cuando bailas como si nadie te estuviera mirando.

I DON´T WANT THEY REPRESENT ME.

In a couple of days it will be elections in the country I come from, where I was born; I grew up, where the most of my family and friends live. I have learned, laughed, loved with them and although I love them a lot, I share too many things with them and they know me very well (sometimes better than myself). I don’t want they represent me.

Right now there it is the big election fight, around a hundred of parties want to be elected. Parties from the right and the left, national and independent parties, catholic and atheistic parties, I’m sure with all of them I share more than one idea, but they exclude all my other ideas, it is that why I don’t want they represent me.

This election, the same than the last one I don’t go to vote. The last election I went to the embassy trying to get my right to vote. I sent them an email, trying to get any information, but I was late. The last day to make the paper work it was the day they answer my email. The embassy is closed on weekends (plus evenings, Spanish bank holidays, Irish bank holidays and for sure any other international bank holiday), then it was nothing I could do. In this election as I was working from Monday to Friday I didn’t try it. I wanted to vote because it is the only right I have to say what I think although I don’t want they represent me.

After the election the party (or group of parties) chosen by the most will determine what is the best for the country interests and what no, what the children have to study in the school and what no, who can get marry and who no, what you can do in your own business and what no, what I can buy and what no, that they use my taxes for and that no and if we allow them they will tell us who I have to pray and who no, and they will never ask me again if it is that what I want to do even the most of the times doing something different they promised before without any responsibility, it is that because I don’t want they represent me.

I am ready to make the next step in Democracy, I have a computer, Internet connexion, an ID with chip, a personal certificated in my browser that allow me identify myself as me in any place in the world and with that I can vote what I want and I don’t because I don’t want they represent me anymore.
