El Mandarín Demuestra Una Vez Más Que La Naturaleza Es Una Maravillosa Artista o El Problema del Pescado Humano
Aquí lo vemos al "Pez Mandarín", su nombre Synchiropus Splendidus, reposando ante la vista y paciencia del fotógrafo que le tomó esta fotografía en el acuario de la ciudad de Lieja, Bélgica. Para que le veas la cara el mismo fotógrafo le tomo esta foto, mírala aquí abajo:

El Problema del Pescado Humano
El problema con este pez tan hermoso es que mayormente se encuentra, justamente por su belleza natural, en los acuarios y; asi es como la mayoría de los de su especie ahora ya sólo crecen y viven en cautiverio; es decir, es un pez de agua dulce pero porque lo metieron en un acuario. A algunos de ellos, todavía, y con mucha suerte por cierto, se les puede encontrar viviendo en "libertad condicional" en los arrecifes bióticos de la parte occidental del océano Pacífico, entre las islas Ryukyu y Australia. Indudablemente, estas fotografías, tomadas también dentro de un acuario, están muy bien elaboradas ni hablar; empero a mí modestamente, me parece que un pez tan hermoso también tiene el derecho a su libertad.
En este caso, yo siempre me alegré de ser feo, parecía que mi libertad estaba asegurada, hasta cuando me enteré o me hicieron que me enterara más bien, eso de que "el hombre es como el oso, mientras más feo más hermoso", y así a mí también me quisieron cautivar en varias oportunidades, es un caso bien extraño el mío pero aconteció, bueno digo para mí fueron unos acontecimientos, y así me pasó a mí, en un contraste extraño con lo que les occurrió a los lindos peces mandarines, y todo por mi insolita fealdad.
Parece, que acá en este mundo, no hay quien se salve, ni por feo, ni por gordo, ni por flaco y; mucho menos por bello, claro está como el caso de este desafortunado pez mandarín. Incidentalmente, ¿no son las redes de la información también para pescar las masas? ¿Cabrá entonces cantar irónicamente como lo hacía el otrora gran cantante mexicano, José José, "Gavilán o Paloma (o Pescado)"? y en este susodicho caso, habría que agregarle una estrofa adicional a la canción, la del pescado humano para el consumo de las tiburones civilizadas; o también por las necesidades propias e incomprendidas del amor.
Bueno, de cualquier forma, se le hubiera preguntado a Tongo, QEPD; él alimentó siete retoños por debajo de su gran cintura y cuenta bancaría, con todo y a pesar del espesor de sus actos disgestivos el hombre tenía muy buena "correa", no cabe la menor duda.
Aunque por ahí un día me contaba una amiga, que cuando mientras a ella le estaban arreglado sus uñas, que a mí me parecían garras, por lo largas que las tenía, que una mujer, le comentaba a ella, que, en estos tiempos y hoy en día, "ya ni siquiera [las mujeres] pueden encontrar o atrapar feos...
Hay que cuidarse mucho de las "uñas" urticantes de tanto Gavilán y Zopilote que merodean por ahí, y que parecen Palomas y peor lo ven a uno como Pescado o Huevo Frito, y sabe uno para qué fines. Entonces, si es que puedes hacerlo, o sea cuidarte del deseo mortal, ¡Que no te queda nada más!

A Deviant Recipe for Artists or How to boost your Creativity
I need to keep redoing this at all the time, Should I share it with you?:‼☺☻☺‼
SCAMPER Some Deviant Behaviors
☼ Substitute ♪
☼ Combine ♪♫
♪ Adapt ☼►◙♪♫
↕ Modify ► magnify ◄ minify☺
☻ Put to other uses ♥♣♦○
◘ Elaborate
¶ Rearrange ♀ reverse ◄ ªa ► rethink
PLUS
"Relearn again and forget, then go back to your child vision" Avoid part or all on this formula ► {POV²+POM+POB}:
Looking throughout single points of View or using one single Color of Glasses, one size telescopes, 1x microscopes, one sided spectroscopy, forgetting to use your natural X Ray vision and your CAT Scanner::meaning your imagination, instincts and guts
√ POV = Avoid Singular Persistence of Vision or partial ½╟╜ visions.
√ POV = Avoid Singular Point of View ► Fanaticism
POM = Persistence of Memory (ies) ► Live in the present using the past for the future
Avoid Persistence and obsessive behaviors of unkindness, cruelty, cynicism, ill-intentioned or nonsense moods. Look for meaning or provide the context in which meaningful things could be developed, either by you or with/by others.
Avoid envious feelings, it will drain you, drive you crazy and it will "dry" or "Fry" most of your dreams, aspirations and goals. Remain human and follow your inner nature, this nature should be positive and constructive , but otherwise then you know what you have to do with it...
Do not avoid to be alone, but by all means enjoy the company of your fellow artists, those who where behind you, those who are coexisting with you, and those who are becoming or will come after you. Live the tree tenses or times, Past, Present and Future and the many complex variations thereof.
Moreover, everything that you do or say onto others is a boomerang, it will come back to you, but for this do not avoid conflict, slavery is the rewards of those that do just this. If the prison were made out of gold, it is still a prison, artists hate prisons, oppression or injustice, because to be free you need to remain ethical and well balance (there are many flavors of what is balance or what it means, it could be harmony, think in here on your own music and how it sounds when you play it for others. It is for the most part a maturity and evolving process within each life cycle at every effort, project or piece of work that you do or want to do::Therefore, envision the circumstance, it might be bigger than your perception, and much bigger than your imagination, then enhance your existence by acknowledging more of it).
However, for most of the artists freedom is their main source of inspiration, if they were prisoned because their ideals or art, then they would be evenly freer than before. Artist will remain independent not matter what. Art is intrinsically motivated and extrinsically activated, but you draw and paint the mere buttons that ignite your own fantasies and/or imaginations or disgrace and/or lamentations.
In conclusion, give and share and you will receive ...the same, perhaps it might be more or might be less, don't worry about receiving, just share, provide, support, empathize, contemplate, absorb, produce, mutate, do, even if you can't, do a little more, then enjoy it or better continue with another piece, perhaps you will find out that it is you what you are building from the scratch of your most deeper and inner self.
Finally, I hope that it is Creativity what you are about to select for your life and in every case anyway be one more element why our society triumphs; as it is known by now already as the most innovative society in all generations:: the artists society.
As for my humble case I just keep remembering the aforementioned thoughts...

My Art is just living-Being a Human Being
I worked in wax as in clay or wood and stones as well to create my 3D forms or sculptures. I have designed, and produced Jewelry with diamonds and other color precious stones. I created logos and posters for several companies or commercial and educational events. I enjoyed working in Photoshop, and GIMP. I have produced, directed and written scripts for "shorts" created for academic dissemination.I consider that my art is living. I am a multi-disciplinarian and since we are living again the dark ages but in its digitalized version, far from being a crusader, I see my self as a compacted renaissance man. I will work until the end of my days. Living is communicating, and learning how to bring beauty to one's own life while changing uncontrollably the unknown and obscure to a yet another unknown; but with this new version, we somehow could build one or perhaps many pleasant paradigms for helping us to cope with whatever the reality outside us is. From this "neounknown" we then, could foresee possible futures, all of which we, kind of, do not want to calculate it with exact precision either, e.g. few people want to know in what day, at what time and how they would eventually die. We even do not want to think about it. I remember in here, those thoughts attributed to Socrates, "Those who know how to die, Sure they know how to live".
Art is many things as for the many people of the world, each has their own way of perceiving it, but even though we all appreciated it when we see it. Then, Art "acts" for us like a door that "opens", before our mind's eyes, all our knowledge, ignorance and wonder, almost at once and with such an intensity that we could recognize it instantaneously, even if we do not know what that object means, we are attracted to it. Perhaps it does not matter, at all, to know it but to feel it. Nietzsche wrote : "It is not the duration, it is the intensity what makes a feeling superior." Art is Art because resolves our living with a meaningful minimum set of impressions, expressions or both at the same time and forever. Keats in his "Ode the Urn Greek" explain to us: "Truth is Beauty, Beauty is truth." That is it! You have experienced eternity and this will form part of you. It will never change in you no matter how many times you think you have changed. It will remain the same. Hence and thereof we have always this human urgency or need to search for all things that we consider Art.It all depends what you are looking for or even though Art can awake you when you were not even looking for, aware of or paying attention to it. It traps you. Therefore impels and propels our most deepest emotions. It gives us a direction, a purpose, a sense with full desires. Opens our Skinner's box. Injects full ideas in our blood and dilates our arteries and pupils. It makes us conscious of our existence.
Point blank, the only fact of being able to survive one minute more, as being alive and knowing it, constitutes art. Therefore, as Siddhartha emphasized, my truly profession is to know myself as I found out this today, and Gurdjieff and Outspenky knew it all along. Art is just living.
