I met a wizard boy, he is now 5 years old. I spent two weeks living with him in the north of the South Island of New Zealand, in a region called Golden Bay. It's not by chance. When you walk in this region you see yellow stuff everywhere. Golden sand that reflects the summer sun along the entire road.
One day this wizard boy asked me to play water fights with him in the garden. I was focused and concentrated on my computer, doing ‘serious’ stuff. My automatic response to him was “Bowie, I’m not in the mood for this right now, I don’t like getting wet, it’s cold.”
Wizard as he is, with his hands agitated, he said to me ‘this is your box Gabriela, what does your Being want?’. This answer surprised me, took me out of my autopilot. What do I want?
'Bowie, my being wants to spend time with you.'
He looked into my eyes with a curious expression and said 'Gabriela, what does your gremlin want?
I laughed my ass off, 'My gremlin wants to move, he wants to accept your invitation, he wants to get wet and play with you.'
He replied with wide eyes: 'It is 2 vs 1 then. Your box loses. Your Being and your Gremlin wins. Are you in now?’
I couldn't resist his offer after this awakening dialogue. 1 minute later I had my ass out of that chair, and I was running through the garden and Bowie was running after me with a hose full of freezing water.
This is one of the legends of the last few weeks since I landed here in Aotearoa. Being here has opened my heart. A spark of Fun, Experimentation, Adventure and Love is unfolding into creations, conversations, liquid states, connections, projects.
I am on a journey of research and discovery about Love.
What is love? And how does Love manifest itself? What is love beyond all the concepts and blankets that we have heaped over the centuries over the word Love. The map is not the territory. And the map helps to navigate the territory. What does your inner map of Love teels? What do you have on the asphalts and buildings of your mind and heart?
Where does love come from? Where are you going? What is love for?
Who owns Love? What is the purpose of Love? How do you know if you love someone?
What are the rules about love? What is allowed in love? What is not allowed? And who said that? How do you know it's true?
Most of what I've learned about love is in the realm of the ordinary. Conditioned love. Limited. Scarce. Controlled. Manipulated. Castrated. Purchased.
What if you are a Being is as sensitive as a mimosa? You built survival castles. You designed and architected a perfect engineering system allowing this mimosa to not close completely, forever. This architecture makes you think that Love is something theoretical and distant from you.
I'm starting from scratch with what Love is.
I'm doing some experiments and trying new things. One of them was to interview Heliene Moreira, the woman who gave birth to me, about Love (it's in Portuguese, if you put it in automatic subtitles you can translate it into your language).
Videos
I have been recording a series of videos with Janet, with the purpose of making her research for writing her Book more visible. You can find a full playlist on my youtube channel.
