Story Series: Xavi vs. the Waterfall

5/20/2018

16 Comments

 
Hey, sovereign beings. I am so behind on this. I have really wanted to highlight some of the stories you all have shared on Ryver and with me personally. Michael wrote a song, Deneen has a dream, Karen shared her grandness through vulnerability, Xanthe graced us with her grace. To start the series off, here's a grand tale from Xavi, who recently met up with another Center of Being soul, Letizia, in France. I quite loved the story, and I sense you will appreciate it too. If you have a story to share, please send me pictures along with it. You can put it in any form you would like, but it saves me so much energy if you create titles and formatting suggestions like Xavi did. ENJOY!

The Matcha Chronicles of a Macho Man

Picture
I was driving peacefully back to my town when I realized how relaxed I felt after the trip and how my energy had changed since the beginning.

Letizia invited me to spend a few days at the Super Green France Mountains to share good food that she cooks, good conversation with a good wine, eight cats in the house and the hikes around.

The last day of the hike I was climbing a mountain to waterfalls formed by the spring thaw. According to the signs, it was a five-hour trip. On the way she stopped a lot to rest and admire the landscape barely without dealing with words. So I waited. This dynamic of stopping every few meters occurred throughout the ascent.

The trip was getting slow and heavy for me. I had not realized it yet, but I had lost sight of the meaning of it all. I had become obsessed with reaching the top, at any price and as quickly as possible. Hmmm, do I sense a metaphor here?;)

She stopped once more, so I waited for her sitting on a large rock a few meters above. I could observe a movement by my peripheral vision. She was moving, only on that occasion if I did not see her pass, I would not know she was ahead of me.

This was when my male anger began to manifest itself more. I had been pitifully climbing the whole way carrying my poor tired body and without strength, using perhaps too strongly, my walking stick. Every step I took, I rammed my rod harder and harder into the rock-strewn ground.

After that she stopped again, and as it seemed to me that the waterfall was close I decided to go ahead and not wait for her anymore.

I arrived at a detour where I could go down to the lowest part of the waterfall. The water was raging and I still felt the call of adventure. "She sure would," I thought, so I skipped a couple of rocks to get in the middle of the river and take a good picture of the waterfall in front of me. See above picture...

It was then that I looked back when I realized how dangerous it was. A false step, a slip, and I would have fallen down the river by a descent slope full of rocks ready to crush me.

I started to turn around and it was here that common sense prevailed: "If I go back by the same rocks that I came and I slip, adios, I'm dead." So I jumped to a rock that was to my left and ... said and done I slipped.

I fell like a sack of potatoes in the icy waters of the thaw, only to save me from death because I changed the place to return at the last second. Suddenly I was soaked to the bone. I went back to where she was, I told her what happened. I warned her that there was still a long way to go, and I warned her how dangerous it was to go where I was because of how slippery it was.

She told me: "Oh do not worry, I'm fine, I do not need to climb to the top".
This is when I understood it. It is not about the destination, but about the trip.

She has been enjoying the whole ascension trip without even worrying about whether it would end or not. It did not matter. Only the experience mattered. And it was a great and beautiful experience for her to connect with Mother Nature in her wildest and purest state.

Later I had thought about taking my clothes off a rock and drying it, but as if the mountain did not want me there, it started to rain and the feeling of cold began to increase. I decided that I would go down the mountain in a hurry to warm up and dry myself in the car.

So the fuel of anger carried me back down in a sigh. I took off my boots, put on the heater and relaxed to wait lying in the backseat of my car.

Once a Master said that Mother Earth could be ruthless, and just as my energy was in the ascent I was not very in tune with her. With each new step I took, my anger increased, because of the hardness of the trip. Now seeing the experience in perspective, all the merciless thing that she did with me was to throw myself to the safe side of the cold waters. And believe me, there is nothing like a romp of cold water to conquer the coldness in life. 

The next morning was the time to go back to my city. She told me that she had noticed a change in the energy of the house and now the eight cats felt relaxed without fighting each other.

A part of my angry masculine energy stayed in the icy waters of the thaw.

​Au revoir France. I'm returning a little better than I arrived.

Part 2: The Matcha Man Anecdote

Matcha Tea is a type of Japanese Green Tea powder that I had taken for my trip and that I usually drink every day.

​One day before I was climbing another mountain. Here the snow had not melted yet. The idea was to reach a lake in the upper part of the mountain. It had become an impossible climb since because of the snow, the ascent was very slippery. We took another safer path and climbed into a forest.

There she began to dance and sing in the middle of the mountain with a Madonna song that played on the speakers of her mobile phone. You could not see anyone else for miles around. While she expressed herself I stayed, uncomfortable, looking at the horizon, waiting, for the dance of feminine life to end.

This is the anecdote of the macho man. The macho man does not dance to express the joy of being alive. The macho man is an almost inexpressive male.

When we came back later that day, in the kitchen she bothered me with what happened. With my phone, I played the song Village People Macho Man and started singing it.

"See, this song I can dance and sing on the mountain," I said.

She replied laughing: "You are a Macho Man ... no, a Matcha Man, and every time you listen to this song you will remember it".

And we both laughed.

In-Joyed your story, Xavi... Great share!
And reminds me of the shortest poem I ever wrote, after enjoying my own mountain climb:
“Be Now. Here, Now. Experience is the knowing of this”.

From Damian: Hey a little something.
Thanks for sending that story from Xavier. It was perfect timing. I was putting a lot of emphasis on the whole- enjoy the journey as much as, or even more than the destination - lately. For the last couple of months or so. But anyway somehow i don’t know why, it finally kinda sticked that day I read that story, truth is I was literally being aware of the stupidity of rushing, stressing the time you sent it. I was rushing to finish a cast, being anxious on some level, to see if it will come out “as planed” or not. But then it’s like, hey wait a second what’s the point. What is the freakin point of this whole life on earth, if the only moment you truly want to experience or are waiting for impatiently, is the final, at the same time blocking out or at least not being so aware of the whole big part that’s in between.
How stupid is that !
and how freeing it is to enjoy, equaly every part of whatever your doing. If it’s traveling to get somewhere, for example - the trip itself, however mundane and possibly unpleasant. It is in fact an equal part of the the whole experience as reaching the desired destination. An equal part of the WHOLE experience you in fact CREATED. How it makes everything more fun to enjoy everything even if it’s unpleasant for the human parts. It’s all just and experience and looking at it form that perspective, the outcome doesn’t quite matter. What matters is the experience, and the fact if you have allowed yourself to really be present in it.

Thank you for your comment, D.

With this experience I not only learned what you said, but also that Wisdom was available to me shortly after having the experience. I received the wisdom at the time and even so my human part needed a couple of days to digest it and put words to it; it was really very fast.
I also understood the importance of Living. I have spent the last months practically without going out, without having experiences, definitely without Living; just waiting for the Realization without anything happening.

If there is no experience, there is no wisdom!

The ironic thing is that despite everything, I have no desire from the human side to "do" anything with my life, and as Lauren mentioned a while ago: "I do not know how my human part will fit into life". I really have no idea, and at the same time it does not matter. No need to run or push to have experiences, just accept the opportunities that arise. Each door that opens, each opportunity that is caught, opens many others potentials.

Sitting for Realization, indeed is quite boring.

AND I know all of you notice. All the story, that really happened literally; Is a metaphor of the Journey of Realization.

Oh my nugget for the day...”if there is no experience, there is no wisdom”. Such a “no-brainer” but at the same time - a beautiful doozie of a reminder! Thank you also for this Xavi...

So much wisdom being allowed today in this one beautiful share and comments. Thank you everyone. Gratitude from my heart, xo.

Thank you for this story, Xavi! So fun to read and see how you laugh with (or at, I'm not sure haha) your masculine aspect. It helps to understand mine :) And how beautiful the landscape and the energy!
