spring clean II: let it go - the smashed word broken open vow or the oath cracked length wise - let it go it was sworn to go let them go - the truthful liars and the false fair friends and the boths and neithers - you must let them go they were born to go let all go - the big small middling tall bigger really the biggest and all things - let all go dear so comes love e. e. cummings

I see myself and my life each day differently. What can I say? The facts lie. I have been Don Quixote, always creating a world of my own. I am all the women in the novels, yet still another not in the novels. It took me more than sixty diary volumes until now to tell about my life. Like Oscar Wilde I put only my art into my work and my genius into my life. My life is not possible to tell. I change...

“Quiet friend who has come so far, feel how your breathing makes more space around you. Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell. As you ring,
what batters you becomes your strength. Move back and forth into the change. What is it like, such intensity of pain? If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine. In this uncontainable night, be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses, the...

“For the sake of a single poem, you must see many cities, many people and things, you must understand animals, must feel how birds fly, and know the gestures which small flowers make when they open in the morning. You must be able to think back to streets in unknown neighborhoods, to unexpected encounters, and to partings you had long seen coming; to days of childhood whose mystery is still...

“…don’t keep me waiting here…lead me to your door…”
“We now know enough to know that we will never know everything. This is why we need art: it teaches us how to live with mystery. Only the artist can explore the ineffable without offering us an answer, for sometimes there is no answer. John Keats called this romantic impulse ‘negative capability.’ He said that certain poets, like Shakespeare, had ‘the ability to remain in uncertainties,...

Dear Thom:
We had your letter this morning. I will answer it from my point of view and of course Elaine will from hers.
First — if you are in love — that’s a good thing — that’s about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don’t let anyone make it small or light to you.
Second — There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical...

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 easily will 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...

Yo diría que evolucionar no es ni un ajustarse a nuevas condiciones, ni una imposición de recuerdos a la realidad, sino un ajuste de cuentas entre la memoria y el presente. La memoria es un órgano que se deteriora. En consecuencia, uno acaba compensando las zonas grises con postales con las que no identifica del todo su infancia, ni mucho menos su actual sentimiento del pretérito –sobre todo...

Los peligros se corresponden con el júbilo. Enseñar con seriedad es poner las manos en lo que tiene de más vital un ser humano. Es buscar acceso a la carne viva, a lo más íntimo de la integridad de un niño o de un adulto. Un Maestro invade, irrumpe, puede arrasar con el fin de limpiar y reconstruir. Una enseñanza deficiente, una rutina pedagógica, un estilo de instrucción que, conscientemente o...
