Who would have ever thought of a garbage door could turn into something meaningful.  Let me share to you one of Hugo Juarez's Green Piece:  It is currently being shown at the Speak Easy Art Gallery in Boonton NJ., and  I am so very thankful indeed that he gave me a permission to re-post this here... really inspiring!!! 





This Blog will be in both english and bad spanish... and it may sound cheesy but it is dedicated to my two beautiful children.    

Good things come out of the bad things in life... 
En esta vida.. de lo malo... viene algo bueno... 

Last night you were sad because somethings happened that you didnt like... 
Anoche estaban tristes porque cosas pasaron que no les gusto...

Like the Rain... 
como la lluvia...

But you also told me something you learned in school today... that plants need water... 
Pero ustedes tambien me explicaron que estaban aprendiendo en la escuela... que las plantas nessesitan agua...

We dont like the rain.. Its cold... We have to stay indoors instead of going out to play... 
La lluvia no nos gusta... es frio... nos hace quedar adentro  en ves de jugar afuera...

 

The rain gives us life.. You told me.... 
La lluvia nos da vida... Ustedes me dejiron...  

It makes the roots of the plants grow... 
crecen las raices de las plantas...


The roots absorb the rain water that we dont like...  
Las raices absorban la agua de la lluvia que no nos gusta

 

The roots also absorb the soil.. thats dirty... and that we are always trying to get out of our house when you walk in with muddy shoes.  
Las raices absorban la tiera tambien.. que es sucia... y que limpamos de la casa siempre cuando etran con zapatos con barro.

 

They make the trees grow tall and firm... 
Hace que los arboles crecen grandes y firmes...




Like you said... the rain and the dirt give us life... 
como me explicaron... la lluvia y la tierra nos da vida...


The sun always comes out after the rain... 
Y siempre sale el sol despues de la lluvia...

 

Something good comes out of bad things in some form...  
De todo lo malo sale bueno de alguna forma...

 

This door was garbage... 
Esta puerta era basura...

 

Too many people told me just to throw it out.. its worthless.. 
Demasiados me decian .. tiralo... no serve...  

The tiles were left over from projects around the house... that just took up space in the garage... Los azuelojes eran sobras de proyectos de la casa.. que solo tomaban espacio en el garage... 

Others were throwing away tiles and Id pick them up... 
y otros que otras personas estaban botando a la basura... y yo... lo recogaria..  

Something beautiful can come out of everything bad... even the garbage... 
De todo malo... hasta de la basura.. puede salir algo hermoso. 

This piece is dedicated to my children... so that they and all of us remember  that after the bad comes the good... 
Yo dedico esta obra a mis ninos...  Para que ellos y todos se recuerdan que despues de lo malo viene lo bueno...  

Tomorrow is a new day... a good day... 
Manana es un nuevo dia... un bueno dia... 

These words will be inscribed in the back of this piece... in english and spanish... 
atras de esta obra va  decir estas mismas palabras - en espanol y en ingles.. 

So that you never forget... 
Esto es para que nunca se olviden...
