Reflections about death: a journaling exercise

I never took death very seriously when I was younger. I can remember easily that part of my life were unconsciously challenging death was part of the game. There could be lots of different situations where this happened, but what I remember the most was at those time when we did motorcycle racing in these snake-like roads in the mountain of Cullera. Girls were scared and we boys were proud. I had some accidents but I felt them as part of life. This is interesting because I always felt, and keep feeling, death as part of life. This continued even when I quit motorcycle and started cars. I had one insight at this time when by chance I was able to avoid a death accident. I was driving and entered this curve extremely fast and made it out a crazy maneuver. We were two boys and three girls in the car. They were as excited as scared. I was just scared. This I think was the first time I just realized that playing with death could be a risky business also for others, and I actually felt I did not want to kill anybody at all. (más…)

Love/Amor: a thinking session for CreativeMornings/Madrid

Last Friday, July 29th, I gave a talk about what is LOVE, written like that, in capital letters. The context was the event organized by CreativeMornings/Madrid. The place was SoulSight‘s office, the organizers, a few meters away of the Puerta de Alcalá in Madrid.

The day couldn’t be more appropriate. I was born on July 29th and it was my birthday, 48th to be concise. Upon arrival, I found a extremely festive and well decorated space. There were hearts everywhere. Heart-shaped balloons. Sticks decorated with a heart. Chocolate cookies with heart drawings. Even a heart-shaped cake. It made me feel special, and it all continued very special. Although the decor matched the event and the theme of the talk, Love / Amor, I felt that it was also my birthday party. Here you can see a few pictures of the space and the event. And here you can watch the talk itself at Creative Mornings’ site (sorry, it is in Spanish!) (más…)
