Dreams like coffee
Coffee can have many different flavors. There is a wheel of flafovor, fruity, nuts, chocholate, bitter, sweat, all of them.
And once I’ve met with one friend, that was keep asking me, how is the guitar, and when I’m going to play in Harpa ( Icelandic filharmony ) And I was very sad, and upset at people telling me not to play infront of them.
He said - It is your life do what you want
Well, easy to say, when you don’t expirience rejection after rejection, but he was right it is my dream, and dreaming out lound about a coffee, in a world where people are just drinking sodas, and energy drinks, is not going to be met with interest, just like I don’t have interest much in dreaking sodas and energy drinks at that point. So mistakes, are just ending up in a situation, where you didin’t met the outcome you expected to meet.
But there is limited time we have, so even though I might have dreamed of working in a bar, and partying with people, creating them space, to relase the tention, and have fun…
It is going south, and I want to go north, so I did that actually.
For 2 months I worked for few shifts in a bar, with incredible people, that were like pirats, it was cool to be on a pirats ship, with hope to drink beers, and rum, chant songs, and have adventures, and never give up with that dream. Hope that maybe one day, I will have a chance, to do that, if I’m not going to have so much dedication to the norht pole.
But mistakes, are just readjusting the course.
It just happens because of lack of concentration.
Group of people take concentration away, that is the moment that no matter how beautyfull the life can get, with them we need to gather different resoucres.
Resources, are life expiriences, If I were to sit in the restaurans, and be presented dishes made by Icelandic chefs, to me and my Icelandic firends, to be fully expirence love that they have to share on those plates that would appear infront of me, I would need to understand every word in Icelandic, and that is years, of learning, and to be able to say things back with confidence, is the outcome, of gathering enough of vocabulary, to do it.
Naitive speakers of life
We are all born with different talents, pursinig different desires, and the more we nurtie the beauty of our own in all of that, it is happening slowly, to learn, how to speak, Explorer native tounge.
Gather fouces when it is slow, make sure everything is always taken care of. You can jump in into a conversation between 2 jazz muscians, but if all you played was Pop music ( Which is beatuyfull as well ) Jazz players, will try to adjust to you, but you will not be able to full, join what they were playing, of course you are welcome to join to them, people are kind, but, maybe it is a way of creating this beauty of making the unexpected connection
Like coffee black coffee, with honey - would be jazz
And you come with a splash of milk, maybe coconut milk, and they are like
-Hmm never tasted it, and we all change you got at full cup of black coffee with honey, that is suprise for you, and they get to taste coconut milk with it.
Let’s be open to eacheter, when I went to this kitchen with my firends, and felt like I should leave, because, I’m not ready for that kind of coffee, the feeling stayed in me. I understood, when me and a chef, shaked hands, and said our names, this uncertatinty
English or Icelandic ?
And I hestetieded, he noticed, I noticed, and he said in Icelandic.
Ást
Which I understood means
Love
Love is what we share.
Make it as natural and human as possible for others to help them see a human behind your eyes.
We are all somebodys son, we all have mothers and fathers, that brought us into this world, some of us have brothers, sisters, cousins, we all care for close ones to our hearts, and remember that we are all human beeings, have our own tribal affirmations, and we are comitted to what we belive in.
It means that there are truthts, that are truths from a certain point of view.
Open mind for a different view, from behind of eyes of other person, and you will see, that you can choose what you belive in, and what thoughts you are gonna allow yourself to go through.
If you choose to live in this world, fuled by butting labeles, supersticions, then it is going to be reflected by the world around you, by other people it is not that much of what you say.
It is about how you say it, and all I’m trying to say here, is if we would be a little be more open, and kind, to everyone, that we could reach a little bit higher.
I remember when I was living in a loops, of uncertaintise, low self esteem, victim mode, I could call it. A slave mindset, chained down, to the floor, that I’m not enough, almost, like I felt the metal on my writsts, and each chaing was very heavy on me, I couldn’t see it back then, but I was trapped in cell, where I was destined to repaet the same things.
But I founded a way out.
