Este post está dedicado a mis conversadores de twitter de esta semana: @BlancaUsoz @lailaelqadi @Mialterego5 @inesbajo @carlosvg @Bebra_enf @Esthersuarez72 @RafaelTimermans Con ellos llegó el motivo de este post y es que entre varios desvaríos de conversaciones entró en juego una mochila, que por cierto todavía no me ha quedado claro de qué la llenaban cada uno de ellos pero que a mí me recordó a la película “Up in the air”.
A SPOTLIGHT reveals RYAN BINGHAM standing at a PODIUM. He unzips a BACKPACK and sets it down beside him. RYAN How much does your life weigh? Ryan pauses to let us consider this. Imagine for a second that you’re carrying a backpack… I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders… You feel them? (gives us a beat) Now, I want you to pack it with all the stuff you have in your life. Start with the little things. The stuff in drawers and on shelves. The collectables and knick-knacks. Feel the weight as it adds up. Now, start adding the larger stuff. Your clothes, table top appliances, lamps, linens, your TV. That backpack should be getting pretty heavy at this point – Go Bigger. Your couch, your bed, your kitchen table. Stuff it all in… Your car, get it in there… Your home, whether you have a studio apartment or a two story house, I want you to stuff it into that backpack. Now try to walk. Kinda hard, isn’t it? This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis. We weigh ourselves down until we can’t even move. And make no mistake - Moving is living Now, I’m going to set your backpack on fire. What do you want to take out of it? Photos? Photos are for people who can’t remember. Drink some gingko and let the photos burn. In fact let everything burn and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing. (a beat of emphasis) It’s kind of exhilarating isn’t it? That is how I approach every day
La cuestión es ¿qué significa la mochila para cada uno de nosotros/as? ¿la vemos como un agente de experiencia / conocimientos / avance? o ¿la vemos como un elemento de estancamiento? Ahora nos toca definir a nosotros qué llevamos en la mochila y para qué lo queremos usar ¿no?
