(CNN Spanish) --

Being an artist and living in communion with another creator is a great challenge.

Loving, founding, feeding and being intellectually fed by your partner is inevitable.

Arguing and speaking outlining ethical rules, without damaging the sentimental bond, is one of the great bets that loving coexistence entails.



To get out of the process successfully, you need to leave your ego behind, cultivate patience and appeal to sentimental balance, achieving a healthy environment in couple rituals.

It's no secret that in the world of art and show business there is explicit competition between creators, but when it comes to marriage, that raw drag race ends up boring the relationship.

Who has not read, given away and quoted that famous work of universal literature: The Little Prince, written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry?

Well, according to certain academic studies, press articles and testimonies, the origin of this famous work can be seen from the complex relationship between Saint-Exupéry, and his wife of thirteen years: Consuelo Suncín Sandoval Zeceña.

All this is narrated with hairs and signs in its volume: "Memories of the rose."

In the manuscript found by pure chance in 1979 and published post mortem in the year 2000, Consuelo confesses to us that she is the inspiration for Saint-Exupéry's work, even the repository of the book's essential ideas.

Born in 1901 in El Salvador, Suncín Sandoval Zeceña, she was educated between San Francisco, Mexico City and France.

She the presumed co-author, she met the writer of "The Little Prince" in 1930, while she was a widow, and for several critics, this story recreates the story of the overwhelming and complex relationship between the two.

When you finish reading its pages, dismayed, and having read The Little Prince several times, you realize that, according to her version, she is "the woman" but also "the rose" and from now on, you will not be able to separate the ideas of the inspirations, and grant, with justice, to each one, his part in the authorship.

Keeping our identity clear is one of the great challenges for those of us who choose to live with another artist.

Knowledge can expand in everyday life until it becomes an expansion of our self in the other, causing the intellect to become a source of a collective reservoir.

During domestic coexistence, we melt into each other.

Tastes, interests, styles begin to become related to us.

In 2017, the National Association of British Music Publishers determined to include Yoko Ono as co-author of the Imagine theme.

This momentous decision is made forty years after its release, taking into account Lennon's words, captured in a clip, saying that Imagine "should be credited as Lennon-Ono".

Said video belongs to an interview that John himself gave, in 1980, shortly before his death, in which he insists on the "influence and inspiration" of his wife, the visual artist Yoko Ono, during the process. Of composition.

If we stop to listen to the lyrics, we will notice the plasticity of the images and the cyclical sequence that this song is related to, with the performative and visual world of the Japanese artist.

"Imagine clouds dripping. Dig a hole in your garden to put them in."

You spend too much time with your partner and you begin to understand their universe, you enter it, you integrate it and you can appropriate the symbolic systems.

Once this occurs, it becomes difficult to separate the ideas.

At the end of the night, when you pick up the empty glasses and wash the tablecloths, you wonder whose idea was that song or that outdated poem.

Between two naked bodies and two creative minds running at the speed of everyday life, will it be possible to prevent our ideas from mixing or merging?

Will this have lasting consequences on our legacy?
