Cast Away

[at Stan's home]
Chuck Noland: We both had done the math. Kelly added it all up, knew she had to let me go. I added it up, knew that I had...had lost her. Cause I was never gonna get off that island. I was gonna die there, totally alone. I mean I was gonna get sick, or get injured or something. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control was when, and how, and where that was gonna happen. So...I made a rope and I went up to the summit, to hang myself. I had to test it, you know? Of course. You know me. And the weight of the log, snapped the limb of the tree, so I...I...I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over nothing. That's when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that's what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day that logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I'm back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass. And I've lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing, because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring.

In Memoriam...

Luego alzó la cabeza al cielo y lo vio todo blanco, Ahora me toca a mí, pensó. El miedo súbito le hizo bajar los ojos. La ciudad aún estaba allí.

Hope there's someone...

Antony and the Johnsons
"Hope There's Someone"

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep at night
How will I rest my head

Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

There's a man on the horizon
Wish that I'd go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head

So here's hoping I will not drown
Or paralyze in light
And godsend I don't want to go
To the seal's watershed

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, Will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

Para empezar el año vamos a jugar a dudar... Feliz 2010!...¿?

La realidad existe o no existe, en todo caso es incomprensible en su esencia, así como las esencias son incomprensibles en la realidad, y la comprensión es otro espejo para alondras, y la alondra es un pajarito, y un pajarito es el diminutivo de pájaro, y la palabra pájaro tiene tres sílabas, y cada sílaba tiene dos letras, y así es como se ve que la realidad no existe (puesto que alondras y sílabas) pero que es incomprensible, porque además qué significa significar, o sea entre otras cosas decir que la realidad existe.

Julio Cortázar. Libro de Manuel, op. cit., p.13

Otoño...

Otoño

En llamas, en otoños incendiados,
arde a veces mi corazón,
puro y solo. El viento lo despierta,
toca su centro y lo suspende
en luz que sonríe para nadie:
¡cuánta belleza suelta!

Busco unas manos,
una presencia, un cuerpo,
lo que rompe los muros
y hace nacer las formas embriagadas,
un roce, un son, un giro, un ala apenas;
busco dentro mí,
huesos, violines intocados,
vértebras delicadas y sombrías,
labios que sueñan labios,
manos que sueñan pájaros...

Y algo que no se sabe y dice «nunca»
cae del cielo,
de ti, mi Dios y mi adversario.

Octavio Paz

Forever Michael

Llevo algún tiempo queriendo publicar algo sobre este tema, pero todavía no había sabido muy bien cómo, y de hecho puede que aún no lo sepa, hay tantas cosas que me vienen a la cabeza que no se por donde empezar, así que por el momento lo dejaré con algo de su música y de su magia.
Michael, I love you!

We are the World

There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
Pretneding day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
