TRANSITION
between the old and the new
a transition from there to here
from absolute clarity to natural chiaroscuro
from shouting to whispering
from monologue to dialogue
from other hands to yours
from other countries to this continental homeland
from morning lightening to light at its zenith
from studying without truce or doubts to observing and thinking
from the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Riff and the Atlas mountains
to the Andes in Bogotá in Cusco in Santiago
from the Canary, Balearic and British Islands
to Isla Grande de Chiloé
from the desert of Almeria to the Atacama Desert
from Aleppo to Lima
from the Seine to the Bío Bío
from the Llobregat to the Mapocho
from time used to time savoured
from conviction to methodical doubt
from what I hear to what I listen to
from what I saw to what I see
from action without contemplation
to contemplating in action
from pleasure to joy
from water to wine
from the simple to the divine
from studying ashes quartz and corals
to walk along real black, white and pink beaches
from reconstructing with the microscope forests
and steppes absent
to walk through very cold jungles of the south of this south
from the certain to the uncertain
from the breeze to the wind
and
from yesterday to today
Igor Parra uncover this far away
