Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

The Rebel´s Manifiesto

The Rebel´s Manifiesto

1. Do the opposite of what you were taught in school.
2. Care not for the opinions of others. They are base don their oun thoughts and fears.
3. Study the work of other rebels. Steal things from them. Reserch with fury.
4. Forget about the competition. They are on a different path tan you. Trends are for suckers.
5. “There’s nothing we really need to do that isn’t dangerous.” – John Cage.  Do the things that scare you on a regular basis.
6. Make a mess.
7. Embrace your darkside. Your so called “Dark Qualities” (or labels) are a source of great power. Find a way to incorpórate them into your work. Feature them. Pay particular attention to what makes you angry.
8. Exercise your voice. Put your thoughts, ideas and opinions out into the world even if it scares the shit out of you (see number 5).
9. Expand your horizons. Leave home. Visit other places/cultures. Wander aimlessly.
10. Never limit your play-time. Even if your brain is telling you otherwise. All of your best stuff comes from it if you allow yourself to remain open to the unknown.
11. Question everything.
12. Follow your heart.

Pisadas

Y al final las pisadas se van…

Algunos podrán admirar la marca que han dejado en la tierra.

Pero no serán las hojas ni la rama rota.

No será la tierra apretada que se asfixia

ni lo que no ha de florecer ahí.
