Penelope, and the love that does not get tired of waiting …
Penelope was a mythical heroine, whose beauty was not greater than his character and conduct. Daughter Icarius, a Spartan prince, Ulysses asked her to marry conquering it from many competitors who participated in the games set by his father. But after the wedding, when the time came when the young wife should leave acasa father, his father Icarius not accepting the idea of separating from the daughter, she tried to persuade her to stay at his side and not accompany her husband to Ithaca. Odysseus left Penelope chose and she silently covered her face with a veil and followed her husband. Icarus understood and built a Modesty statue where it was separated from her daughter.
Ulysses and Penelope had been married only a year later had to be separated because of the departure of Odysseus to the Trojan War. As Ulysses warred in other lands and their fate was unknown, the father of Penelope suggested that his secasasse daughter again but for being a passionate and faithful wife to her husband, she refused saying that expect the return of Ulysses.
During the long absence of Ulysses many doubted that he was still alive or that it was unlikely to ever return. Penelope was importuned by numerous suitors, which could not seem to get rid of than choosing one for hubby. However, Penelope made use of every trick to gain time, aindaesperançosa the return of Ulysses.
One of his tricks was to claim that he was committed to weaving a screen for the funeral canopy of Laertes, the father of her husband, pledging to make your choice among the suitors when the work was ready. During the day, the eyes of all, Penelope worked weaving; at night, secretly undid the job done. And the famous “Penelope screen” became a proverbial expression to describe something that is always being made but that never ends.
But having been discovered in its artifice, she proposed another condition to his father. Knowing the hardness of the bow of Ulysses, she said that she would marry the man who could stringing. Among all applicants, only a humble peasant managed to accomplish the feat. Immediately this peasant proved to be Odysseus, disguised after his return. Penelope and Odysseus had only one son called Telemachus.
The Penelope myth shows one of the clearest and popular images of femininity, the person waiting for the love and while waiting patiently edge weaves together the threads and colors. The reference to the difficult plot of the carpets, the mismatch of the wires and the combination of colors, both reports on the events of his own existence, tissues by a painful memory, and speaks of creation, invention and the possibility to meet other ways.
The screen that Penelope weaves aims to protect her and keep her warm. Destitute of affection, she weaves to take care of herself in her worst moments of solitude and also to wait for Odysseus throughout his life, not weaves why wait, she weaves her loneliness, her sense of abandonment, orphanhood and rejection. While waiting, undoes the old points, create other designs, new shades waiting for itself. The wait is a countdown of hope that Penelope puts us Ties and We of your upholstery.
The bonds are the emotional ties that bind us to others. With the coexistence or the lack of it, problems arise and the bonds become nodes. The node does not form between man and woman, it is formed between the Self and the Other. We are the existing problems in relationships, the challenges of living with each other. Node is the name we give to crises and natural difficulties of people living and loving marriages: disagreements, fights, fear of not being loved, jealousy, boredom, lack of freedom, sexual issues, infidelity, financial problems, the division of labor domestic, problems of coexistence with families etc.
The nodes do not happen for lack of love, at least not necessarily. The We happen even where there is love; it is human nature to trouble relating. Human beings can not live alone and do not know how to live together. And in relationships there are only three to do: prevent We happen, undo nodes or at least loosen them to untie them power.
We avoid that happening is a task that depends on the loving care, accepting the other as it is, using creativity to escape the routine. Although easy recommendations, are difficult to be practiced, because we still live with our anger, our insecurity, our aggression and so many other feelings that live within ourselves, side by side with our good and noble feelings.
It is not enough just to have love to untie the knots of people. Love does not untie, because your natural tendency is to attract, unite and connect. When there is suffering, we must abandon the fantasies and acquire skills to communicate well with each other, awakening it to a loving conversation, without speeches, name-calling and accusations.
In relationships it is more important to listen than to speak, because the conversation involves listening also what the other has to say. Listening involves not only be inferred from the words spoken, but watch posture, emotions, voice and expressions. When a person truly speak what you feel, your whole body matches. That’s the magic necessary for art to untie the knots that serves mainly to feel heard, considered and loved.
For healthier they are the ties, the day may come to an end. This happens when one of them gives up to invest in the relationship. The end of the ties is not true in separation or in the absence, because for many the absence serves to strengthen the emotional bond with the other. The end begins when the words end, when installing indifference. It is in silence that end relationships …
Love Is Not If Cansa
Adriana
If sadness steals you the words, if the reasons were lost in time
Remember past stories awakens longings
If someone promised to love you, but then left
Leaving you without even explain, without saying goodbye
God knows your truth and the longing of your heart
Secretly thy God expects you or comfort you
So back only God is love that does not pass and not pass
So back God alone is answer worth the wait
Love lives God’s heart of love
Love that does not tire of loving
If someone promised …
