On the way back ... to be PARENTS

Perhaps if we begin to identify the problem, we can begin to fix it.

LnOL and I was reading a note that stops first moved my interest in the title and then grabbed me by its content: "Parents who know no limits to produce dictators." Dr. Aldo Naouri

I stopped a moment to review my short story of blogger something I wrote in September 2005: "Colored Hope http://ilfranchese.blogspot.com/2005/09/de-color-esperanza.html and make a parallel to my previous posting: "Cro-Magnon: And we (the parents)?

life Thanking for giving me the elements to profess and practice hope the "resistance" (which so well describes in his book Don Ernesto Sabato), I can not drown out the internal complaint compels me to express our social decline and moral.

In this very, very "light" modernism, dissolved the boundaries. I am very concerned the "forbidden to forbid", the clear problem for permission, to do something no matter the form or where the "liveliness" full of disrespect, educational decline, violence could burst, the urgency before the others and the idolatry of the ephemeral and unpresentable, among many others .

always sensed that those most responsible for this debacle was us "parents" and was always parallel and I am a reactionary to everything I thought and I find it an imposition.

In my case it was the fashion, always an imposition. I do not understand the stupidity to accept without at least ask why? How far? Not learned never to take advantage of her, she always took advantage of us.

We began to invade at all levels, in our personal lives, in schools, at work, in the professions, politics, religion and ways, and as you never put a brake began the free fall social.

is directly proportional, if no quality raw material, the result of the final product will never be acceptable.

Parents are missing the appointment and when I say parents included all parents, even the religious parents alleged that in many cases have become "parents" unpresentable.

Our children need us, pals, buddies and competitors, need parents, need to replenish all lost in this "our" journey, so well described by Dr. Aldo Naouri: "Imagine that a mother is the wheel of a vehicle. Your child is the passenger who has to bear positive results. Before, there were signs. There were red and green lights, agents for regulating the circulation. And even had put beside it a sort of co-pilot, who was the father of her child. But half a century ago made him believe that mother who is worth the journey, not the destination. Gagged the copilot and took out the maps. "

I think the figure could not be more clear, from this to understand what happens to us (Cromagnon included) think it's very simple, but significant deformation that would prevent us identify the reality.

Mandalas in Patchwork




For those who wondered "what are mandalas" ...


Mandalas are drawings concentrically used since ancient times to achieve personal harmony. They are a graphic support to get meditation, both to observe and to draw or built with some artistic technique. They are originally from India but have been found in other cultures such as American Indians (Navajo, Aztec, Inca, etc ...) or the aborigines of Australia. Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning "circle."



Buddhist monks build sand mandala complicated to commemorate special situations, use weeks to build and when it ends, let the wind undo ... for them the important thing is the action itself and not the result it produces.



Mandalas also have therapeutic applications as they help to balance the two cerebral hemispheres: the "rational" and "creative." Also, on a spiritual level to help us bring meditation to our "rational side."



mandalas I built with fiber and graph paper to my 15 years and did not know why, today, at 51 I am fully aware "of why" and I am happy to have found, always in my heart there was a "healthy control" for balance between my rational self and my spiritual self. Today I'm leaving "rest" a little to my side "rational" left "space" inside me to give free rein to spirituality.



This is a journey that we started with Marta and we came up with "mandalas" with Patchwork.



This summer, my friend from Barcelona, \u200b\u200bMaria del Carmen, on his visit to Cordoba brought me a pair of patchwork books that I ordered and now I'm encouraging to implement and what better way to prove "mandalas"



Well, explained something about mandalas (in next posts I will continue explaining more about them), step to show how we were arming to do in the future will be a quilt ....



AUI show them the central block of the project, the only thing new is sewn, the rest was the provision on the floor of the remaining blocks begin to sew ...





Here we see the available fabrics for another block ...




continue arranging the blocks, choosing the right design ...




Finally, just when the mandala will be stitched, which I will muuuuuuuuucho time, indeed.


take this opportunity to inform you that soon will be notified about the next Patchwork Seminar will be a Saturday (all day) and give you the basic techniques for beginners and advanced which and attended the first seminar in Carlos Paz.

Those who want to reserve, they may be sending mail ....
