Perspective or a model called chair

These photographs remind me of a song by troubadour Silvio Rodríguez, entitled Historia de las sillas, that was written in 1969. Here, at the end of this post, I leave you the lyrics translated. If you want to read it in spanish, go to the youtube video.

As we know, today is the 13th anniversary of that day when a man named Laszlo Hanyecz -I think he was a programmer- offered, through the bitcointalk.org platform, 10,000 BTC to whoever would delivered to him two pizzas, which cost 41 USD in that moment.

At the time I am putting together this post, BTC is trading at 26,500 USD, so, if we do the math, that man (sigh) ate -literally- two hundred and sixty-five million dollars 😭 and we are in a bear market; Bitcoin almost touched 70,000 in November 2021 (more 😭 😩).

😜

We all celebrate now that first transaction. Yes, it was the first exchange of Bitcoin for a physical item. And well of course I would like to eat a pizza too. It's one of my favorite foods, pizza and spaghetti. So I will most likely do it, why not?

Are you ready to sit down? Because I'm not, even though I've done the hard work of cutting the grass.

;)

Back to the chair and the song, some people say it's bad to obsess. I believe quite the opposite, as I am of the opinion that we create our reality first in our mind. And, hey, hold on...you may not agree with my way of thinking, well, I understand that, but it´s not really that what I want to talk about, but obsessions, and I since I started my first steps in this Blockchain, at the end of September 2022, I became obsessed; I became obsessed with growing here, doing what I do, the best I can, creating.

Listen to the song, it's very nice. "He who follows a good path will have chairs, dangerous that invite him to stop," says Silvio Rodriguez and I reflect today on how many times these appeared in my path. I am not going to stop. I like (simply) the way that chair looks alone, without me. I'm behind the lens. I'm going to keep creating and dreaming at Hive.


STORY OF THE CHAIRS (Silvio Rodríguez)

On the edge of the road there is a chair,
the predator prowls that place.
The friend's jacket is stretched out,
the friend does not sit down to rest.
His shoes, worn out, are like mirrors
that burn his throat in the sun.
And through his weariness passes an old man
who dries, with the shadow, his sweat.

On the tip of love travels the friend,
on the sharpest point to be seen.
That point that digs in the ground, in the ruins, in the ruins,
or in the ruins, or in a woman's trail.
That is why he is a soldier and a lover,
that is why it is wood and metal.
That's why he sows roses just as much
that reasons of flags and arsenal.

He who has a song will have a storm,
he who has company, loneliness.
He who follows the right path will have dangerous chairs
dangerous that invite him to stop.
But the song is worth good storm,
and company is worth loneliness.
The agony of haste is always worth,
even if the truth is full of chairs.

(1969)

I would gladly redo that chair, love the design!

Is that a resting spot, surrounded by camomile? :D

No, it "was" a bunch of weeds with rosemary and dandelion flowers.
I have 4 chairs, I have paint in four different colours and a wire brush to scrape off all that rust.
...
I don't think it's time to rest yet :D

Make a chair like that, come on. I'd send you all four to do the DIY haha.
If I could, I would, in exchange of course for cake or something sweet made by you.

;)

No, no soy cruel, solo estaba necesitada de limpiar ese espacio. 😬

When I was a kid and it was cleaning day at my house, that song couldn't be missing. My mom is a fan of Silvio's music and I remember that song for the lines ... "The one who follows a good path will have dangerous chairs that invite him to stop" ...
At first, I didn't understand it, but as you grow up, you do.
Thanks for bringing us this song that invites us to reflect.
Have a nice day, @nanixxx !

Hi, I'm so glad you liked my post. I think it's a good day to reflect and revisit those goals, those projects.... Or just continue with our daily 1% improvement either here on Hive or wherever we do our magic of creating.
Oh, writing here I forgot I have pizza for everyone hahaha.
Thank you so much @castleberry, I'm honoured by your comment.
!PIZZA

I am left with the chair surrounded by "weeds". I see life. Flowers, thorns, fauna, birth, growth, development, death, nutrition, prana. There I sit, I love the danger of living.

...The chair on "clean" ground gives me sterility. 😕



Me quedo con la silla rodeada de "maleza". Veo vida. Flores, espinas, fauna, nacimiento, crecimiento, desarrollo, muerte, nutrición, prana. Ahí me siento, amo el peligro de vivir.

...la silla en terreno "limpio" me da esterilidad. 😕

The chair must be left to be art. We take a short break and continue on our way. There are always dangerous chairs that invite you to stop...


La silla hay que dejarla que sea arte. Tomamos un breve descanso y seguimos nuestro camino. Siempre hay sillas peligrosas que te invitan a parar...

This chair in grass was looking like frame to grass.

Yesterday when I was writing this post I was thinking that I didn't take a picture that might have looked really good... the camera in the undergrowth under the chair, focusing on infinity.

Que bonito cuando un objeto tan cotidiano puede ser fuente de tanta belleza.

Esta canción te la sé tocar en vivo y con guitarra en mano. Felicidades por tus logros hasta el día de hoy en Hive y por los que vendrán, sé que no te detendrás aunque "te inviten a parar".

Que modelo más lindo, con estas capas de colores que revela. Pero si tú dices que es una silla peligrosa, pues que le vamos a hacer jajaja

(has cortado la hierba sola? con el catarro??)

I hope the spaghetti or pizza will be tasty, and you will not have to pay that amount of BTC for it as Mr Hanyecz did :D

La pizza... :( tengo que confesarte que no comí pizza esta vez, sino una sopa riquísima que me dio mi vecina. Pero la celebración del Bitcoin Pizza Day se hará. Ya verás. ¿Te gustaría acompañarme?
