The blank page in front of her right now.
The silence before she starts speaking.
The white canvas before she starts drawing.
The peace, in the nothingness.
The responsibility behind breaking that nothingness.
The responsibility to say something worth it,
to write something meaningful,
to draw something beautiful.
It´s the same with new places. The overwhelming amount of possibilities in front of her.
“How are you gonna do it this time, hey?”
She keeps asking herself every time she
“starts over”.
10 months
Some people call it Paradise. The “so-called Paradise”.
She doesn't like that. It sounds plain, empty, superficial.
It's not paradise. It's got nothing to do with that.
It's an island with a personality of its own.
It's not just a place,
it's a being.
“To live here you must like the island
AND
the island must like you”.
It's a subject. It's a she.
MAGGIE.
Con nombre propio.
It's My island. It's Your island. It's everyone's island.
But she is free.
Libre.
Ceive.
She is her own island. Her own self. A healing self. A forgiving self.
A magic self.
I – land
She'll challenge you. She'll look after you.
She'll attract the right people for you.
She'll give you permission to feel. To slow down.
She'll nourish you.
She'll make you question old patterns.
She'll give you tools. She'll help you unblock level after level.
She'll give you evidence. She'll keep your eyes open.
She'll give you refuge. She'll help you build home
inside you.
She'll throw questions at you. She'll give you guilt. She'll release you of it.
She'll put you on the edge. She'll push you to look inward. She'll make you take action.
She'll teach you happiness.
She'll teach you sadness.
She'll give you darkness.
And she'll give you light.
She'll give you perspective. She'll show you timing.
She'll force you to respect yourself. She'll help you appreciate.
She'll teach you awareness. She'll teach you self awareness.
She'll make you feel the weakest you've ever felt.
She'll help you become freaking strong.
She'll help you listen to yourself.
She'll raise YOUR VOICE.
She'll make you feel you are going crazy.
She'll make you question yourself and doubt everything.
She'll give you clarity.
She'll help you understand the importance of boundaries. And priorities. And compassion. She'll teach you about acceptance. And, self-acceptance.
She'll make you hurt.
She'll cuddle up with you at night
and tell you everything is alright.
Because it is. And you know it. Both of you.
Better than it's ever been. But not as good as it's gonna get.
Because she set you on a one way trip, with no return ticket.
You will hate her.
You will love her.
She'll embrace you,
... and she will kick you out.
Hold on to
Let go
There is a time for departure
even when there is no certain place to go
The hardest person to walk away from is the person she always assumed she was.
But when she stopped assuming, all that was left was the blank page,
the silence,
the white canvas,
the nothingness.
With all the responsibility,
and fear,
but all the opportunities, all the freedom, all the magic, all the peace,
all the LOVE.
A place, a land, a being
that gave her the space and energy to go through that process.
To love life
and
love herself,
with is pretty much the same when she thinks about it. One doesn't go without the other.
A new version, coming out of the shell,
out of the egg,
out of the womb.
SHE
I could be talking about me.
I could be talking about her.
Or him.
I could be talking about you.
Or everyone.
I could be talking about family.
About community.
I could be talking about a place.
I could be talking about an island.
I could be talking about a Magnetic Island.
I could be talking about Space.
Or the Universe.
About life.
About me,
which,
ultimately,
is All.
From now on,
I’m hers.
And she's mine.
And she comes with me.
And I stay with her.
A partir de agora,
tamén son dela.
E ela é miña.
E lévoa comigo.
E quedo nela.
Thank you, Maggie.
