I Do Not Forgive You For Not Knowing How To Fly

I do not care if you have the blues or blacks eyes, if your hair is blonde or white, if you have a full head of hair or if you are bald, if your skin is dark or light … There forgive the fact that your feet do not march at a certain distance from the earth, that you are unable to let your imagination fly, that you do not immerse yourself in your dreams, that you cannot fly.

A person who cannot fly anchors you to the ground, binds you, sews your wings and does not let you dream, does not allow you to have your head in the clouds, in the sun, in the sand, in the waves. A person who cannot fly does not allow you to be yourself.

“Feet, why do I want them if I have wings to fly?”

-Frida Kahlo-

What does a person who can fly do

A person capable of flying will inspire you, he will tear your soul and heart, make you dream, make you travel with all your senses, dance with you, whisper in your ear, caress your skin and your mind, make you to fly. A person capable of flying …

He dresses in sensitivity

Sensitivity is the constant protagonist of the life of those who know how to fly . A person capable of flying will focus all his senses on every detail of existence. He will be able to smell the clouds, to caress the smell of beaten earth, to savor words that have fallen from his lips. They are observers by nature, elements of society that generate curiosity in others. Their sensitivity is extreme, they laugh, cry and get excited about a flower or a gust of wind.

Daydream

If you see a person who seems constantly distracted, who gets carried away by his dreams, well that is a person who can fly. Many ingenious ideas take shape in this state. Daydreaming requires great concentration, courage and a desire to learn. Flying people visualize the present, the past and the future and weave them together creating the fabric of dreams.

He is fine in solitude

Loneliness is an opportunity to peer into every corner of our soul, to discover who we are. Loneliness is the ideal travel companion when we are sick, because its healing power will come to our aid, giving us the opportunity to reflect, to rearrange our ideas. If you fly, you will know.

He falls and gets up again

If a person in flight trips and falls, he gets up again. If he stumbles on the same obstacle and falls again, he knows that it was not a coincidence, but a choice. He makes thousands of mistakes, but he doesn’t get discouraged, indeed he learns from his mistakes. A person capable of flying considers every mistake a new opportunity.

“No bird rises too high except with its wings.”

-William Blake-

Take risks

A person who flies enjoys taking risks, knows that he can be victorious and that only in this way will the result be excellent. She will run the risk of loving you if you let her tiptoe into your lives. He will give you smiles, kisses and hugs, he will caress your risks and teach you to live them.

He pursues his passions

A person who flies is a person capable of following his passions. She’ll fight for what really makes her heart beat, and she’ll never stop chasing it. When a person capable of flying becomes passionate about someone, he will let all his senses fly, he will suffer, cry, laugh and live. He will let himself be guided by his heart. If he hears him beating, he will throw himself on those things that make him beat harder and faster. If he feels pain, he will let them go, sadly, but with conviction.

He loses the notion of time

If you fly too, you will find that when you dream, the days, hours, minutes, seconds make no sense. An hour will be a second, a week a century. But in every moment you will be aware of everything you have done, you will know that it was worth living that moment. Time is relative when flying, the only thing to do is spread your wings and get carried away.

“I don’t care if women have breasts like magnolias or dried figs,

peach skin or sandpaper. 

I give zero importance to them waking up with an aphrodisiac breath 

or with an insecticidal breath.

I am perfectly capable of bearing them

with a nose that would win first prize in a carrot show;

however – this yes, in this I am irreducible – they do not forgive them,

in no case, that they do not know how to fly.

If they can’t fly, they waste time trying to seduce me. “

-Oliveiro Girondo-
