Always the
same sensation, a saudade, a longing for nothing in particular, it happens when
I am leaving a place that I like being in, such as Miami, Havana among others.
And then
you are beginning to miss people you are determined to forget, their follies
forgiven and this saudade pushes forward their good qualities that attracted me
to them in the first place.
Be with
people you admire, my good friend Dr. Marco advised me, rather than being with
people who admire you.
A new
maxim
It is the
tropical sky becoming cloudier by the minute; I am about to leave for the
airport to catch flights to domestic destinations that are becoming less and
less interesting to fly to.
This
tender sensation brings its own pleasure too, but there are so many hellos and
good byes lately, most of them initiated by me, to decrease the burden on my
structural defects, so that they can be calmed down.
Tomorrow
this time I would be at the Indian Reservation and once I am there, all is
forgotten, the other world of USA cease to exist.
They
always heal me from any of the damages or emotional knife wounds inflicted upon
me.
In return,
I have the pleasure of giving them some guidance couched in anthropological
terms how to deal with the structural violence of living in this society.
