He estado pensando en la naturaleza improvisatoria de la vida. No hay forma de predecir nada con certeza, todo es ambiguo hasta que ocurre. Incluso el tiempo es relativo. Y la ciencia genera reglas para dirigir el caos que orgánicamente nos maneja.
Que curiosas las leyes que rigen rigen universo que es naturalmente aleatorio. El jazz del cosmos en el que bailan todos los astros, estrellas y mucho mas.
¿No les parece romántico cómo cada estrella en el cielo es un sol que murió hace millones de años?
I started university in 2013. This was after an admission process that took 4 months and 4 different kinds of tests/filters and an interview. There were 500 postulants but only 25 were admitted in the end. I was one of them. In total there were five years of university, meaning ten semesters, plus an extra year for my thesis project and an extra year to receive my university degree.
I studied filmmaking studies, and I graduated with a feature film as a thesis project and a justification essay of 33 pages on the emotional weight of aesthetics in cinema. I got a unanimous vote of approval.
This was the hardest academic thing I've ever done, and I loved every second of it. I know it isn't a requirement in cinema to go to film school, but I enjoyed all of it, I became someone else in the process, I met amazing people, and I think I created amazing things.
I am absolutely grateful... and somewhat nostalgic, which is a very me thing.
I remember carefully the first time I met MJ, one of my best friends. I was on the verge of producing my first feature film and I wanted for her to be my AD in Tijuana. We met for coffee in Mexico City and the funny thing is that we talked for about half an hour about the film, she agreed, and then we proceeded to spend the rest of the evening hanging out and discovering new places around Condesa.
That was a great way to start an amazing friendship.
We often coincide in our trips to the city, so we try to at least go out for a brief photoshoot session, and discovery stroll around different parts of the city.
¿Cómo son? Esos pasajes inciertos, que nos dejan varados en el desierto.
Escribo todo lo que sucede en la arena, pero como lo demás en ella se desvanece.
Conozco los números y las letras, entiendo el lenguaje y aun asà me pierdo en la situación.
Me siento preparado, pero de igual manera me encuentro estancado.
Quiero quedarme quieto, solo un momento, sin pensar en silencio.
El aire se estrella en mi rostro, en los árboles.
¿De dónde vienen los árboles?
Aparecen de la nada, solo necesitan un pequeño comienzo.
La seca arena se torna en tierra, la humedad se mezcla en ella.
Ahora la luz es etérea y yo solo transito en ella.
Los destellos entre las ramas alumbran mi mirada.
Mis pasos mientras camino se impregnan en la baranda.
Necesito redactar mi sentir, tan solo para no olvidar quien fui.
Y aunque necesite el ocasional descanso, sigo avanzando,
Hay más lugares que quiero seguir hallando.
You can often find me sitting somewhere alone writing a half-thought idea. Read More
