Poesía Completa
Jorge Luis Borges
The Circle of Humanity may have evolved over the centuries through reincarnations and each member of these circles may indeed be neurons in a vast Central Nervous System covering aeons of time and space. One can sense another member of one’s circle by the profound recognition and safety, one feels in their presence. It is as if we knew them before but logically attest to never having met them in this lifetime. Another indication of being in the presence of fellow circle members is the quality of silence and beingness that is shared. It’s almost as if you’ve known each other a long time and have already passed through the phases of personal expectation, heartbreak and disillusionment that usually mark the beginning of many relationships. There is a feeling of not having to prove anything or become anybody. There is a shared peace of mind.

I heard once about a Yiddish poet who lived in utter poverty and misery, a teenager, who never had seen anything beautiful in his life, and he made splendid poems about vegetables jumping into the soup pot. My idea being that for the sublime and the beautiful and the interesting, you don’t have to look far away. You have to know how to see.
