"Well...you know Doc, when something happens it can leave a trace of itself behind. Say like, if someone burns toast. Well, maybe things that happen leave other kind of traces behind. Not things that anyone can notice. But things that people who shine* can see. Just like they can see things that haven't happened yet".
*Feel creative? The above paragraph does not work for you? try to change the * word. Some suggestions: love, hate, jump, dream, wander. Better? Feel free to leave a comment with your fitting word.

Minuta de domingo por la mañana.
Puntos tratados de 9:30 a 12:00 vía Skype.
Allá el cielo está muy azul. Aquí también. Aquí y allá el cabello crece rápidamente; tiene una velocidad distinta a la de las emociones. En D.F. no existen esos árboles que allá sí: los guayabo-fresos. Allá, a diferencia de aquí, ha encontrado a su paso pocas personas que están en crisis, de hecho sólo una, sin contarse a sí misma. Respondo con una pregunta: ¿será la ciudad?. Se enfatiza la sospecha en las personas que corren sin detenerse para tomar aire, sin cerrar los ojos para verse por dentro. Hay caminos internos que únicamente solos se pueden recorrer. Nuevamente la velocidad de las emociones y de las personas que las albergan, se vuelven un tema. Sendos remedios: ante males similares, allá se recurre a la paciflora; aquí, yo hice un libro. Ninguno ha dado resultado.

Just as there was a first instant when someone rubbed two sticks together to make a spark, there was a first time joy was felt, and a first time for sadness. For a while, new feelings ere being invented all the time. Desire was born early, as was retreat. When stubbornness was felt for the first time, it started a chain of reaction, creating the feeling of resentment on the one hand, and alienation and loneliness on the other. It might have been a certain counterclockwise movement of the hips that marked the birth of ecstasy, a bolt of lightning that caused the first feeling of awe. Or maybe it was the body of a girl named Alma. Contrary to logic, the feeling of surprise wasn't born immediately. It only came after people had enough time to get used to things as they were. And when enough time had passed, and someone felt the first feeling of surprise, someone, somewhere else, felt the first pang of nostalgia.
It's also true that sometimes people felt things and, because there was no word for them, they went unmentioned. The oldest emotion in the world may be that of being moved; but to describe it --just to name it-- must have been like trying to catch something invisible.
(Then again, the oldest feeling in the world might simply have been confusion.)
Having begun to feel, people's desire to feel grew. They wanted to feel more, feel deeper, despite how much it sometimes hurt. People became addicted to feeling. They struggled to uncover new emotions. It's possible that this is how art was born. New kinds of joy were forged, along with new kinds of sadness: The eternal disappointment of life as it is; the relief of unexpected reprieve; the fear of dying.

I re-read your letter
What do I want from you? —
— It's hardly six — morning — Sunday — cool — clear — the window wide open — I propped up in bed — feeling rather sick at heart — yet — still dreaming — having thought all night — sleeping impossible —
Today it rains —"

Some words should be behind bars like dangerous animals;
...
And I am aware of my heart: it opens and closes.

¿Cómo serlo?
Muestro a mis compañeros avances de mi libro, hace aproximadamente un mes que habían visto lo último. Ahora hay fotos nuevas; recibo con gusto sus comentarios: algunas sugerencias de cambios, lo que les gusta, lo que creen que no le va bien, etc. Una de ellos se acerca y dice: "no eres la misma".

Those Tuesdays where the only thing to do is to Keats.
Was it a vision, or a waking dream? My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
Fled is that music: -Do I wake or sleep? One minute past
'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been
Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth,
Tasting of Flora and the country green,
Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth!
But being too happy in thine happiness,— Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene,
With beaded bubbles winking at the brim,
And purple-stained mouth; Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget
What thou among the leaves hast never known,
The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves.I cannot see what flowers are at my feet,
Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs,
But, in embalmed darkness, guess each sweet
Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music:—Do I wake or sleep?
