Contigo, conmigo

A veces sueño que viajo a París contigo, y que nos sentamos a comer croissants en un café desde donde se ve la torre Eiffel.

A veces también sueño que nos vamos de picnic no sé a dónde, y tomamos vino tinto y quesos con pancitos tostados, de esos del empaque amarillo con letras azules que dicen Mulino Bianco.

Luego sueño que es de noche, en otoño, y tenemos abrigos de lo más chic. Tú con una bufanda, y yo con un gorro de bolita arriba. Y como soy friolenta, me abrazas por los hombros, y caminamos así por las calles de Manhattan.

Ítaca, de Constantino Cavafis

Cuando emprendas tu viaje a Ítaca
pide que el camino sea largo,
lleno de aventuras, lleno de experiencias.
No temas a los lestrigones ni a los cíclopes
ni al colérico Poseidón,
seres tales jamás hallarás en tu camino,
si tu pensar es elevado, si selecta
es la emoción que toca tu espíritu y tu cuerpo.
Ni a los lestrigones ni a los cíclopes
ni al salvaje Poseidón encontrarás,
si no los llevas dentro de tu alma,
si no los yergue tu alma ante ti.

Pide que el camino sea largo.
Que muchas sean las mañanas de verano
en que llegues -¡con qué placer y alegría!-
a puertos nunca vistos antes.
Detente en los emporios de Fenicia
y hazte con hermosas mercancías,
nácar y coral, ámbar y ébano
y toda suerte de perfumes sensuales,
cuantos más abundantes perfumes sensuales puedas.
Ve a muchas ciudades egipcias
a aprender, a aprender de sus sabios.

Ten siempre a Ítaca en tu mente.
Llegar allí es tu destino.
Mas no apresures nunca el viaje.
Mejor que dure muchos años
y atracar, viejo ya, en la isla,
enriquecido de cuanto ganaste en el camino
sin aguantar a que Ítaca te enriquezca.

Ítaca te brindó tan hermoso viaje.
Sin ella no habrías emprendido el camino.
Pero no tiene ya nada que darte.

Aunque la halles pobre, Ítaca no te ha engañado.
Así, sabio como te has vuelto, con tanta experiencia,
entenderás ya qué significan las Ítacas.

Un pensamiento trillado pero positivo

Yo crecí en una casa en donde toda la vida me dijeron: tú puedes ser y hacer lo que quieras; basta con que te lo propongas.

Es una filosofía trillada, sobre-usada, gastada, pero al fin y al cabo es positiva. Es una manera de ver la vida y de enfrentar las cosas que te pasan.

Por eso vi este póster de una diseñadora británica, y me pareció tan fino. No sólo por el diseño que me gusta mucho, sino por el mensajito estúpido de autoayuda.

¿Cuántas veces no te han dicho: no te rindas, intenta de nuevo, climb every mountain, follow every dream, etc. etc. etc.? Pero es que en realidad eso no está mal. La gente cursi y ridícula que te dice esas cosas tiene un poquito de razón.

No sirve de nada ir por el mundo quejándose, viendo todo lo malo, concentrándose en los pequeños fracasos de la vida, amargándose... Porque, vamos, es muy fácil llegar a ese punto con todas las cosas que a uno le pasan, sobre todo en este país.

Pero ¿saben qué? Yo sí quiero ver la vida en colores, con doodles felices que me alegren el día. Y eso no significa que ignoro las realidades innegables que pueden hacernos caer en abismos de depresión. Sólo significa que elijo intentar ver la vida de una manera linda.

Como me dijo Geo: lo que pasa, es lo mejor. Es la filosofía de "donde se cierra una puerta se abre una ventana". Así que no voy a renunciar a pensar que algún día voy a tener todo lo que quiero. Ni tampoco voy a renunciar a cambiar de opinión todos los días respecto a lo que creo que quiero.

Es como el juego de la sillita: la vida sigue, lo importante es dejarla fluir y navegar suavecito hacia donde a uno le provoque, disfrutando el escenario que pasa a tu alrededor.

No sé, equis.
