Al lijar me doy cuenta que estoy convirtiendo mi dolor en caricias.


Me hizo pensar que quizás las caricias eran una forma de dar el dolor en calma.



Al lijar mi cuerpo respira, me fortalezco, mis músculos están contentos, el colibrí que anida a unos metros me visita. A veces se queda parado en una ramilla, me clava sus ojos llenos de cosmos, yo lo miro.

Estoy sereno, los pájaros no huyen de quienes alinean su ser.



La lija talla los dedos, la piel se afina pero se hace resistente, entonces aparece un mundo nuevo, cierras los ojos y ahí están los ojos abiertos en las yemas de tus dedos, en tu palma.

Tu mano toda es un radar, un trazador de horizontes, un iluminador de fuegos y de juegos. ¡Bienvenido! Te dice.


Tras-paso de formas la lija corre calentando la mano enharinada que calienta la escultura.


Pulir, pulir, pulir, como en la vida, todo el tiempo, a cada segundo.


Despojarse,

Ir desnudo,

No pretender nada.

Ricardo Marcenaro bitácora. Un Viento Del Desierto


Vino como un viento del desierto, llena de polvo, turbulenta.

Al principio su cuerpo abrazó el mío (cuando nos quemábamos juntos),

Sus palabras de primer viento anunciaban huracanes, sal repartida,

Escozor de la arena que levanta la piel a fuerza de masa, velocidad e insistencia.


Ocultó el sol y lo vistió de tierra batida con mariposas muertas,

Asfixió todo aquello que no se pudo refugiar en la cueva, los vi morir.

Como un viento del desierto vino y se irá,

Como el viento del desierto lo hace dejará tras de si un primer silencio, el sol repuesto y la luna alegre que mira desde lejos la vida reconstituida,

Todo vuelve a respirar,

Los caprichos del clima se olvidarán

(Aunque estemos avisados para siempre).

Born June 23, 1925 in Savannah, GA, Died October 24, 1989 in Tennessee. In 1947 Sahib Shihab was the first in a wave of Jazz Musicians to embrace Islam; other artists that followed were Art Blakey, Yusef Lateef, McCoy Tyner, Idrees Suleiman.....and many more. Sahib Shihab was a master reedsman playing the Alto and Baritone Sax, but was more known for playing the flute and was one of the earliest boppers to use it. After his converting to Islam, he fell in with the early bop movement, recording several now-famous sides on alto with Thelonious Monk for Blue Note in 1947 and 1951, and playing with Art Blakey in 1949-1950 and the Tadd Dameron band in 1949. Following some empty patches where he had to work odd jobs for a living, Shihab played with Dizzy Gillespie in 1951-1952, Illinois Jacquet in 1952-1955, and the Oscar Pettiford big band in 1957. By 1959 he had moved to Europe whilst touring with the Quincy Jones Big Band and it is here that he created some of his most famous albums. From 1963 - 1972 he played with the Clarke Boland Big Band and it was with this outfit that he recorded his own albums.
