The ending of the current year, 2021 has been a bit hard. This Covid-19 affair is being endless. Sometimes I feel tired of everything. I wouldn't like depression to take me where I don't want to be driven. Fear is present all the time. Fear of being ill, infecting others, of dying...It's hard to live with fear. I want to enjoy life despite this horrific virus.
It's not easy to be fully conscious of our emotions. Sometimes we feel thrown away by strong winds. winds that will end up at any moment. But these moments seem to have come to stay forever. However, nothing is forever, nothing seems to be permanent. Everything stops when we stop breathing. Life can be simple.
Sometimes we are aware of life when death is so near us. Learning to live joyfully with our everyday routines, family, walks, doings, injuries... is so hard that we are not conscious of all the blessings surrounding us. Sometimes it´s difficult to focus on the positive side. It´s hard to be present and be aware of our emotions.
Gure inguruan ditugun bedeinkazioak disfrutatzen ikastea da, agian, gure ikasketa handienetako bat. Gozatu dezagun naturarekin, familiarekin, dugun lanarekin, behar dutenei laguntza eskainiz... Jarri arreta aurrera egitera bultzatzen zaituzten gauza errazetan .
This video is dedicated to my nephew who passed away recently (January 3, 2021). We all think he went too early (he was only 23) but I prefer to think we have enjoyed him for 23 years. We loved him just as he was. We loved his beautiful smile, his loving hugs and his jokes. Go back home, Aitor, peacefully, free of all fear and pain. Rest in peace with all the loving ones.
