somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond - Poem by E. E. Cummings
somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look will easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

Este fin de semana descubrí que para llegar a lugares de infinita paz y belleza a veces hay que sobrellevar muchas pruebas y casi que una lucha grande con nosotros mismos. Aprendí que uno siempre se re-descubre, se re-inventa. Aprendí que dentro un lugar que parece muy conocido, siempre hay un pequeño escondite que siempre nos asombra.
Descubrí que los sueños a veces son tan reales como la realidad misma. Y que a veces lo que mas queremos en principio no parece ser tan tentador como aquella manzana de Eva, sino que se ve nublado, lleno de tempestad, feo, peligroso, no practico y se hace terrible a los sentidos para que no todos, sino los mas creativos y agiles, puedan llegar.
Descubri la poesia en el silencio y la exuberancia en lo mas básico. Aprendí que todavia existe gente pura, tan pura que da verguenza. Y que son de carne y hueso, y que puedo tener una conversacion con ellos.
Descubri el romanticismo en los olores a jazmin, las texturas diferentes, el paisaje mas recondito. Aprendi que la sensualidad misma no esta en otra persona solo, sino en todas partes.
Aprendi que soy ENTP y descubrí a Cummings como si nunca hubiese existido, como maestro del amor.
