Lectores chapines ha sido una experiencia inesperada y que sucedió en el momento de cambio/crisis en mi vida (que sucede como los molinos de viento, cíclico y dependiendo de la fuerza del aire) evitándome así el perjuicio que podría haber ocasionado el enfocarme en una sola fuente dadora de discernimiento. Amplió las posibilidades para compartir con otras personas que de otra forma no hubiera podido compartir y que muestran autenticidad en el interés que nos une.
El reto de los 50 libros 2011 me ayudó simplemente a darme cuenta lo asidua o no que era a la lectura y el deseo+tiempo+recursos que disponía para cumplirlo. Sin embargo también del “entretenimiento” se fue convirtiendo en un punto de partida para otras metas personales.
Hay algunos autores que para este 2012 no quiero obviar y un par de novelas que tengo mucho interés en leer. En este nuevo reto optaré por los #25libros (aunque incluiré más de 25 por si acaso) y combinaré poesía, lecturas de la Universidad, lecturas en inglés… es emocionante :)

Kiss me
Aunque pareciera, en serio no ha sido mi intención volver temático este blog, sin embargo inevitablemente me refleja.
Kiss me- Tom Waits
The fire's dyin' out
All the embers have been spent
Outside on the street
Lover's eyes in the shadows
You look at me
I look at you
There's only one thing
I want you to do
Kiss me
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
Kiss me like a stranger once again
I won't believe that our love's a mystery
I won't believe our love's a sin
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
You wear the same kind of perfume
You wore when we met
I suppose there's something comforting
In knowing what to expect
But when you brushed up against me
Before I knew your name
Everything was thrilling
'Cause nothin' was the same
Now I want you to kiss me
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
Kiss me like a stranger once again
I won't believe our love's a mystery
I won't believe our love's a sin
Oh will you kiss me like a stranger once again
I want you to kiss me like a stranger
Kiss me like a stranger once again
Kiss me- Tom Waits
The fire's dyin' out
All the embers have been spent
Outside on the street
Lover's eyes in the shadows
You look at me
I look at you
There's only one thing
I want you to do
Kiss me
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
Kiss me like a stranger once again
I won't believe that our love's a mystery
I won't believe our love's a sin
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
You wear the same kind of perfume
You wore when we met
I suppose there's something comforting
In knowing what to expect
But when you brushed up against me
Before I knew your name
Everything was thrilling
'Cause nothin' was the same
Now I want you to kiss me
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
Kiss me like a stranger once again
I won't believe our love's a mystery
I won't believe our love's a sin
Oh will you kiss me like a stranger once again
I want you to kiss me like a stranger
Kiss me like a stranger once again

what a kiss should taste like...
Passage taken from Ken Follet Book "The Pillars of the Earth"
"I'm all right," he said. "Everything's all right"
"I'm so glad", she repeated, and it came out in a whsiper. She saw him close his eyes and bend his face to hers, and then she felt his mouth on her own. His kiss was gentle. He had full lips and a soft adolescent beard. She closed her eyes to concentrate on the sensation. His mouth moved against hers, and it seemed natural to part her lips. Her mouth had suddenly become ultra-sensitive, so that she could feel the lightest touch, the tiniest movement. The tip of his tongue caressed the inside of her upper lip. She felt so overwhelmed with happiness that she wanted to cry. She pressed her body against his, crushing her soft breasts against his hard chest feeling the bones of his hips dig into her belly. She was no longer merely relieved that he was safe, and glad to have him here. Now there was a new emotion. His physicial presence filled her with an ecstatic sensation that made her slightly dizzy. Holding his body in her arms, she wanted to touch him more, to feel more of him, to get even closer. She rubbed his back with her hands. She wanted to feel his skin, but his clothes frustrated her. Withouth thinking, she opened her mouth and pushed her tongue between his lips. He made a small animal sound in the back of his throat, like a muffled moan of delight.

Diálogo sobre un diálogo - Jorge Luis Borges
A- Distraídos en razonar la inmortalidad, habíamos dejado que anocheciera sin encender la lámpara. No nos veíamos las caras. Con una indiferencia y una dulzura más convincentes que el fervor, la voz de Macedonio Fernández repetía que el alma es inmortal. Me aseguraba que la muerte del cuerpo es del todo insignificante y que morirse tiene que ser el hecho más nulo que puede sucederle a un hombre. Yo jugaba con la navaja de Macedonio; la abría y la cerraba. Un acordeón vecino despachaba infinitamente la Cumparsita, esa pamplina consternada que les gusta a muchas personas, porque les mintieron que es vieja... Yo le propuse a Macedonio que nos suicidáramos, para discutir sin estorbo.
Z (burlón)- Pero sospecho que al final no se resolvieron
A (ya en plena mística)- Francamente no recuerdo si esa noche nos suicidamos.

tristeza repetida
la voz es una niña salpicando miedo
el ruido no se supera
letras, destierro
Últimamente he regresado a ciertos ciclos que me desconciertan, sostengo mi corazón para que no se caiga, vértigo, frío, los vacíos no se detienen y la máquina tiene que reinventar envases.
