Lo que hacen las fotos

Está vez dejaré la inspiración que me pueden causar tan gratos recuerdos de momentos compartidos para tratar de explicar algo individual. Apartarse de lo cotidiano o de la abrasadora, y a veces tremendamente sofocante, miel de cualquier momento insignificante parece tan difícil como intentar atraparlo. Justamente de eso quiero hablar, de las formas que tenemos para atrapar momentos que parece que de cualquier otra manera escaparían de nosotros para fugarse en una memoria incompleta y trastornada por la velocidad de situaciones en las que vivimos…

Entonces parece que estamos hechos para atrapar algo, para conservarlo durante un instante que creemos durará hasta el infinito y que sobrevivirá a las lecciones y los golpes que nos puedan dar el tiempo y la vida. Es, sin embargo, una conducta humana o un fenómeno contemporáneo. Prescindiendo de las formas en que esto pueda llegar a ser (desde grabarlo en una piedra hasta capturar la luz y convertirla en un conjunto de unos y ceros), creo que estamos genéticamente destinados a preservar y para tratar trascender.

El trabajo que Maslow, algo que me trae recuerdos de buenos tiempos, debería ser complementado, o por lo menos actualizado, con un nuevo nivel en la nueva pirámide. Y es que la punta de la autorrealización debe ser precedida de un piso con una importante base que nos ayude a explicar la conducta humana: la idea de trascender. La trascendencia precede a la autorrealización en la medida que buscamos mostrar una parte de lo que hacemos y dejar un legado, que tal vez en estos días dejó de ser generacional y que se acerca mucho más a un nivel extensivo y no tan vertical. Es decir, dejamos de trascender hacia nuestros descendientes para buscar hacerlo con nuestros semejantes.

Buscamos entonces la forma de plasmar y esparcir, como arena en una tormenta, los pequeños granos que parecen ser los momentos de nuestras vidas. Y al igual que el viento que atrapa las viejas caravanas, buscamos llegar mucho más allá de lo que nos encierran nuestras montañas, nos dejamos de preocupar por trascender hacia nuestros hijos en busca de hacerlo hacia una sociedad que nos pondrá atención durante nuestros “quince minutos de fama”.

Todo esto, que parece mucho más complicado que leer la palma de mi mano, me pone a pensar si trascender es una conducta necesaria para vivir, si es parte de una nueva moda por comunicar o si desaparecerá en la inmensa bruma de intentos por hacer lo mismo…

It was just another time

It was a moan, it was her breathing.  It was the end of innocence.  It was not only the curiosity of the time,  it was the hidden feeling behind.  It was just a kiss, why not?  It was just the fifth bottle of champagne.  The good times need the best liquor.  It was then just a try.  Just her hand in her hand,  it was just a witness surprised.  It was just a moment to stop,  it was just a time to look at the eyes.  It was then the next song,  it was a weird time.  It was another kiss in the eyes.  It was dancing together,  it was falling behind.  It was just another kiss, then another one. It was that electric feeling,  knowing that something is going to end bad.  It was just the delicacy of the moment,  it was just a time.  It was not passionate or wild,  it was curiosity and discovery chance.  It was touching here a...

Useless

I asked a poet to write about you, in the middle of London, next to the river. It was announced he could write anything on paper, at any rate, all the times I wanted. I told him who you were. I used my best words to describe your soft and shiny hair. I spoke about the darkness of those eyes, the strength living in their colour and the power they have to look. I tried to detail the delicacy of your nose and the softness of your lips. And I stopped there and came back in the sensations you were provoking. I had no words for the miracle of your smile. It was automatic; it should be there. I went down to your neck, soft and clean, always smelling like the sweetest perfume that makes me feel lost. Then your shoulders, then your hands then your breast. I got crazy of telling him about the miracles living in the waist and the storms you provoke in your hips. And then I went on. And then I couldn't stop. Your legs, the way you walk and the incredible sensations you were producing...

If you were another piece of words

I would be worried, sad, bitter.  If you were another piece of words.  I would be desperate in the middle of loneliness. Craziest paragraphs would be the centre of my anxiety. If you were another piece of words. I would build the perfect world in one line. Give it to you in a paper. I would find a thousand of ways of solving problems  Put each one next to your nice hair. If you were another piece of words I would not ask you to believe,  To take the risk of what you feel,  to embrace the  best moments of your life. I would be desperate finding the wrongs I would be crazy counting the lies. If you were another piece of words. I would test now my new theory,  Write you six stories, three arrangements, two rhymes. After the word line 76 you would begin to vanish. At the 100th line for sure you would be gone. If you were another piece of words, You could open a new post, Be the secret reason for someone to read Find a new lover or maybe ten,  I wouldn...
