Hoy llego una visita inesperada a la escuela de yoga que me traia memorias tuyas. Noemi me llamo para decirme que tenia que ir ya. Hasta olvide el mio telefono.
Llegue y estaba ahi esperando en la sala, dentro de una caja. Lo salude y, si, era obvio que tenia miedo. Trate de dejarlo a la naturaleza de las cosas sin que tuviera yo que tomar una decision. Le di una bendicion y lo eche por la ventana.
Pero se detuvo en una de las ramas del castaño. Y luego en la otra, y en la otra, y en la otra... para despues hacer un aterrizaje de emergencia cual parapente. Lo observe. Un rato. No podia ser asi. Este ser tan lleno de fuerza de vida, logro llegar al pie del inmenso castaño para resguardase del frio humedo del tercer dia de lluvia otoñal.
Regrese a el otro cuarto y me puse un zapato. Me preguntaba cual era la naturaleza de esta intervencion en la naturaleza de las cosas. Escuche que era la naturaleza humana. Me puse el otro zapato.
Baje lo mas pronto que pude. Me quite la bufanda para darsela. Me di cuenta que era un lugar mas familiar para el, tal vez le recordaba a su ultimo hogar. Se puso mas tranquilo, casi somnoliento para cuando regresamos de vuelta juntos.
Varias personas se sorprendian, les daba gusto vernos juntos. Asi que mejor me fui al otro cuarto, y lo puse en una maceta.
Otra vez tenia hambre. Estabamos uno frente al otro. Que suerte que todavia tenemos esas lindas cucharas de madera. Otro recuerdo familiar. Creo que nos empezamos a entender.
Vibre su nombre, aun no estaba muy segura. Me fui. Cuando regresaba a casa
pedaleando de noche bajo la lluvia otoñal, lo podia escuchar: Eli.
Casi estoy segura que es madrugador, asi que mejor me voy a la cama ahora mismo.
Mañana posiblemente tendre que idear una forma para ayudar a Eli a que tenga una vida mas o menos normal. Como la de todas aves. Volar.
Wikipedia diagnostico a Eli por su hermosa cabeza azul indigo y costados amarillos como Golondrina. Yo diagnostique a Eli con Paraplejia.
La paraplejia o paraplejía es una enfermedad por la cual la parte inferior del cuerpo queda paralizada y carece de funcionalidad. Normalmente es resultado de una lesión medular o de una enfermedad congénita como la espina bífida.
Mañana veremos que sucede con Eli. Me pregunto si seguira ahi, si abrira sus ojos. Me quede pensando cual es el significado de la naturaleza de su visita. Caer volando en un Shala. Shala, shelter, refugio. Creo que todos venimos a este santuario a sanar. El brillo en los ojos de Eli me recuerda que somos algo mas alla de lo que conocemos como la naturaleza de las cosas. En ese lugar donde todos somos lo mismo.
***ENGLISH VERSION***
Today an unexpected visitor who brought me memories of you came to the yoga school. Noemi called to say I should leave asap. I even forgot el mio telefonino. I arrived and he was there waiting in the living room, inside a box. I greeted and, yes, it was obvious he was a bit fearful. I tried to leave it the nature of things without me having to make a decision. I gave him a blessing and throw it through the window.
But he stop by one of the Chesnut branches. And then by another one, and another one, and another one... to later perform an emergency landing parapente-like. I watched. A bit. It couldn't be just like that. This being full of life force got to the Chestnut feet to cover from the humid cold of the third rain of autumn rain.
I went tack to the other room and put one shoe on. I was asking myself if the nature of this intervention in the nature of things. I heard it is human nature. I put the other shoe on.
I went downstairs as fast as I could. I took off my scarf and wrap him. I realized this was a more familiar place to him, maybe it reminded him of his last home. He got calmer, almost sleepy by the time we went back together.
Many people were surprised, it was surprising to see us together. So I better went back to the other room and put him on a pot.
He was hungry again. We were in front of each other. We are lucky we still have those wooden spoons. Another familiar memory. I think we start to understand each other.
I tried to vibrate his name, but I was not sure. I left. When I was going home night biking under the autumn rain, i could listen to it: Eli.
I am pretty sure he wakes up early, so I better get in to the bed now. Tomorrow I may have to figure out how to help Eli to get a more less normal life. Like all other birds. Fly.
Wikipedia diagnosed Eli for his beautiful blue indigo head and yellow sides as a Swallow. I diagnosed Eli with Paraplegia.
Paraplegia is an impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities. It is usually the result of spinal cord injury or a congenital condition such as spina bifida which affects the neural elements of the spinal canal.
Tomorrow we will see what happens with Eli. I ask myself if he would be there, if he would open his eyes. I was thinking what's the nature of his visit. Fell flying in a Shala. Shala, shelter, refugio. I think we all come to this sanctuary to heal. The shine in his eyes reminds me we are something beyond what we know as the nature of things. In that place in which we are all the same.
