what is the role of the artist in society ?

To me, art is creating that which we seek to understand.

go in peace

Goodbye Angel. 

It is now time that I leave you to your life, and I continue with my own. 

No more contact between us. 

The tie severed, deleted..... 

I will always love you. I told you so, and it is true. 

And, with that love, and with my own love to myself, I cut the connection, I break apart from the gravity. 

I will miss you, but I know you are safe, and I am safer. 

You said you will be there for me when I need you... and yet, you were not there for me, you were not there for me when I needed you as a friend. Too many times, you abused my trust, and neglected my devotion to our friendship: a friendship made weak by your inability to put energy and effort into it--your inability to love in a good way.

You said you planned a dinner for me. That you want to have one for me. But knowing you, that will never happen. You have never planned to be with me. Never. It was always through my effort that any of our meetings ever occurred. You never took the risk, went out on a limb, to reach me. And now I am gone. Will you find me? I am not hard to find.

I will always love you. 

But, I am he who walks away to descend. 

As the Lion I am, the Leo, so well called out by your breeze, I leave, I wonder the lands... enchanting, enchanted fabulous fierce lion of light, glitter, and graceful clairvoyance.

If you find me, what for? 

If you find me, why?

If you find me, what then?

If you find me, of course I still love you...

If you find me, will then you start to be a good friend, and prioritize our friendship in your life?

If you don't find me, I will still love you, and I will still be that artist in your life past, and you the air of a memory under a moon. 

You once said I should never talk to you again. You said it was because you were a bitch, a bad person. Well, I don't believe in bad people, I believe in bad choices. You choose to enact the behavior of a bitch, you choose to perform and create yourself into a bad person. I know you are not this, but I cannot wait for you to figure out how to be lovely again... I cannot... 

Goodbye. 

I hope you go, live in peace....

with love, 

Cuauhtemoc 

genuine connection

I guess

If I want a genuine connection

I dance in nature

and those who watch me

witness my dance

and then wish to discuss my dance, and my arthood/artistry --you know, really talk to me... they are my friends

but that genuine connection, it is in the dance, it starts in the movement poetry i hear in the world and produce in my body

yeah, then I can share that with others, then we can share a genuine connection

then I think

what about other moments of connection... yeah they are whole, but a bit lackluster

they are sparks

undeveloped

true perfect connection of genuine compassion --- that is created through life artistry

it just so happens, my art is dance.....

#DanceLife

For me, the life of the dancer is: continuous quickening. It is a divine dissatisfaction for more, a unrest, a movement to achieve, a conquering of endeavors, ideas, obstacles. The meaning of a dancer's life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, perform with excellence, to go up, to achieve, to conquer beauty and brilliance.

Moving Forward with Mr Universe

For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Hunger is a Quickening, a divine dissatisfaction for more, a movement to achieve, a conquering of endeavors, ideas, obstacles. 

Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

The Dancer is an Athlete, an athlete of God. His purpose is not to compete against humans, but to fight against the laws of nature, and preform in the world of ideas and expressions.

The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Poetics of the self define our outstanding virtuoso individuality.

Dancers Know that Perfection is Inconsistent

Love is a practice, not a destination, not a destiny.

Dance is a practice, not a destination, not a destiny.

Life is a practice, not a destination, not a destiny.


Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.


Destinies are milestones, therefore products of a practice, of a journey. Destines are achievements, Results, Law driven products of nature.

Destinations are places, in a journey. There are places in love, there are places in life, but love is not a place, and life is not a place.

One day you achieve perfection, but that perfection is locked in space and time. To achieve it again, you must act in a different way, no 2 perfections are the same. Perfection is a practice of invitation, of indetermantly inviting moments of perfections to be present.
