Status Updates From La Prosa del Mundo

Cómo habla de aura sin hablar del aura. Es maravilloso.

" The world is always more than what we see, and our understanding of it is always incomplete, always in the process of becoming ".

And I thought to myself - what is wrong with this world...

- Oh, Body, do you hear it, the silence all around ? It's more than just an absence, it is a presence that rises from the ground.

- But Mind, I feel the Struggle, the words that cannot speak, in the supremacy of Silence, my strength begins to leak.

- Then think about it, with nothing left to lose, you may be stronger, you may be free to choose.

" I live in the facial expressions of the other, as I feel him living in mine ".

I know a guy who has the same dead fish gaze whether he's telling a joke or letting you know your cat has cracked today. Or yesterday...The chance of living in his facial expression would be somewhere around 0,003 %.

Reading this, Hemingway's " Hills Like White Elephants " came into my mind.
The pauses and the deafening silence in that dialogue say more than the ending let to be understood, otherwise Hemingway is a master of laconic insight and of the use of silence in storytelling. It's like I hear Hemingway, telling to talkative Proust : " Less is more, Marcel. Sometimes, you just need to let the reader breathe."
