RE: On poetry and the past: to write down the unexpressible

in Proof of Brain3 years ago

Hi! Thank you for sharing this. I must say that I have never been much of a poetry reading with a few exceptions, of poems and authors that I have read circumstantially and that repeat themselves in my memory.

a poem can be dissected and separated, but its true purpose is simply to be read, over and over again.

Something that goes in line with what you say in here.

And you studied biology, my son is about to finish high school, and that is what he wants to study.
It is good to hear that you live now in the present with your heart in the future, the past is part of us, but we should never let it chain us.

Well said here and it goes for everyone.

Hi there! Thank you for your thoughtful comment, it's very much appreciated.

Poetry is a difficult genre, for lack of a better word. I've come to realize that each generation has its own poetic voices, and the differences between them are increasingly greater. Technology makes everything change so fast, it's hard to keep up with it, and so the artistic expressions suffer a process worthy of a closer look.

I like that your son is interested in Biology! Does he know where he wants to study it yet? It's a beautiful career. I enjoyed particularly the courses related to evolution and ecology. It's very interesting to consider humans as yet another species shaping the ecosystem, with our own dynamics which affect so much of the natural world.

From the past, I wish to carry only the lessons and the love. This year I'm going to be present and to plan for the future. Thank you for your kind words!

Technology has been influencing so much in all fields including artistic expressions, that It's hard to keep track of so many new things or maybe the years are getting to me, jeje.

Does he know where he wants to study it yet?

The area that interests him most is biophysics and artificial intelligence. Of course, there is nowhere to study this field here, and even studying biology is difficult as things are in universities like USB. So he has been researching and applying for scholarships abroad to see if he can get one; if not, he will start studying medicine and then see if he can go.

Siempre es un placer leerte, Un abrazo!
