26th of February 2018. Ibiza.
I´m walking at night
I´m walking listening to Biode again.
It´s very windy, so windy it´s hard to keep
walking straight.
I´m walking along the promenade again.
I keep diffused vision to feel the space
and the lights and dark play with my attention creating warm spaces and cold
ones.
When I´m in this state there is one thing
that captures my attention more than anything. I can´t keep my sight off the
sea, there is something weird with it.
I realise there are no shadows reflecting
on it.
It is usually a mirror to all the town
lights and today there is a black abyss of nothingness.
I stop and look.
It´s as if there is nothing.
I take the earphones off and realise it now
all makes sense.
The sea is in rapid movement, as I hear it
roar it makes sense to see no reflection on it in the night.
I decide to put the earphones back on and
keep walking by this abyss I had discovered before understanding.
Now I sat down after this walk to write and
look back on the experience I start thinking.
The trick the sea played on my perceptions
tells me that this might mean the faster we move though life, the less we can
reflect our surrounding. When a body moves past us really fast there is a point
at which we don´t really see it. This makes me think that if I want to benefit
from the influence of my surrounding and merge with it I must move slow, with
attention and let it rub into me.
