RE: Winter Reflections
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
What is told in this set of scenes carries the strength of the unrepeatable: the same park, the same family, but each instant transformed by time, by the season, by memory. Winter with its shining snow becomes the continuation of summer, and in the midst of that tension appears the reflection on childhood, on the capacity of children to give themselves completely to what is most simple, to a game, to a moment.
And then, when the family comes closer, all thoughts dissolve and only the certainty remains that life is thought in silences, in those moments when one pauses and discovers that happiness is not in yesterday nor in tomorrow, but in the bare presence of now. That gaze that stops at what is small and turns it into the absolute is what reminds us that to live is, in essence, to learn to be simple once again.
Thanks for the thorough elaboration. But, I don't think that I got all of what you're trying to say..
The comment I made earlier is a literary interpretation of your publication. One of the most impressive qualities of texts is precisely their capacity for what, in Literature, is called polysemy—that is, the fact that the same text can be interpreted in one way by one reader and in another way by another.
Oh, yes.. Somewhere between your text, I thought that it was like a sort of summary of my post.
Thanks for the kind words. It is something that I attempt to achieve. Which is keeping somethings open for the reader to take a side or, understand it differently.
