A Moral Refugee, Empowerment Through Acceptance

-


In the bases of being a moral Refugee.
Being a refugee is not being a victim. As a refugee, you can empower yourself by believing your power, inner gentle strength and uniting with positive attitude organisations and people. You can find your way out from undesired circumstances. The road for empowerment is from accepting the situation you are in, not in a victimised way but in a clear headed, focus minded, looking for solutions and willing to carry on with always positive attitude to reach the destination.
Even though being a refugee is a catastrophic life changing/transforming state/experience, you have to have right attitude to get over it and put your life into its rail.
Refugees are generally victimised. The power to change anything comes within and let no fear and victimisation enter there.  Believe you can make a difference in your life. First have a clear look at where you are and then starting moving towards where you want to be without any hesitation .
Remember, however unique you may think you are, there is always someone who has had the same "dream" before, and who will left signs behind that will make the journey less arduous. Don't argue or complain , just be calm and open your mind and heart. It is time to think clear and believe that you can do. Do not let any doubts to enter your existence. Don't compare anything , prices, standards of hygiene, quality of life, means of transport, nothing. You are not travelling in order to prove you had a better life, you are in the unknown territories of all kinds. 
Even if you don't speak the language, don't be afraid. You must learn to bear certain paths and sorrows, because they will make you a better person. Be a warrior of light, transform your intention into gesture, need fear nothing else. Don't allow yourself to be paralysed by fear. Even you fail, remember, there will have other opportunities because you did not give in to cowardice.
No one will be there taking care of you. But only in this way can you truly leave your own country behind.  By accepting this, you will accept and embrace your true  power which comes as a form of gentle strength. You will be walking alone, but it was only by respecting your own rhythm that you will managed to complete the journey.
"Moses-Charlton Heston - lifts up his rod, the waters part, and the children of Israel cross over" . It is  different in the Bible. There, God says to Moses: "Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward." And only afterwards does he tell Moses to lift up his rod, and then the Red Sea parts. It is only courage on the path itself that makes the path appear." (Paul Coelho, Like The Flowing River)

Spaces Once Hold Memories... Trelex Amazon Residency

T relex Amazon Residency Reflections, I could write two posts to describe the amazing space that Trelex Amazon and Rainforest Expeditions provided for us, one for Refugio and one for TRC (Tambopata Research Centre.) The lodges are incredible. Being in a jungle and far away from the world is an exhilarating experience. Having a whole month in the rainforest and in this environment allowed me to relax and absorb the space, the people, the jungle and myself. The art of exploration could not get any more comfortable and luxurious.Was I spoiled? Yes, very much so and I love the memory that stays with me. I developed 2 major bodies of work during my residency in the Amazon at the Rainforest Expedition Lodges. One of them is a photography series and the other one is experimental electronic soundscapes.

Journey of Unbelonging - Practice Session 1

Studio Session 1: with Mina Salama and Joao Simoe We started the session one hour late around 2.30 pm at The Creative Arts Development Space (CADS) in Sheffield on 9/01/10, Thursday. We can only actually, physically start the session around 4.30. It sounds easy to do, Mina is playing live music with his oud and ney flute, I will be dancing on the board and painting with my body movements, my feet are my brush. What we do is not the actualisation of structure, we have to feel and connect with each other and one hundred percent mindfully being together is what enables me to create the paintings and enables Mina to compose his music. There were long discussions on the story and journey and how to blend them together to make our individually personal stories visible to the audience. Different experiences in a structured but also free form style come together and become a separate personality in itself. It all resolved when I went for a half an hour walk as the director-curator ...

A Sense of Space with Herve Perez 1

2 weeks ago on Saturday, I did long and deep stretch. I felt my body wanted to do so. It felt good for my lower back and my groin area first until I went out for a run at the Mill House Park. I literally could manage to do half an hour jog and my right hip was in agony. It was the weirdness sensation in my inner leg and outer hip join. From the inside of my foot to off the knee, slightly inside towards back of the knee, there was this pain as if my muscles are being torn apart with each step. I had to walk back home under the rain gave me an insight on how the muscles are connected from my lower back to my foot. The first attempt to do some moves was last Wednesday on 26th November at the Bank Street Arts gallery with Herve and his alto sax. Although the week before Herve's reiki session eased my pain, my movements were restricted I dance and paint with my bare feet with live improvised music as one of my ongoing projects. Knowing I have limitations draws me back in at the...
