“Ser nadie más que tú mismo – en un mundo que se esfuerza día y noche en convertirte en alguien más – implica luchar la batalla más dura que alguien puede luchar, y nunca dejar de pelear”

Con estas vigorosas y valientes palabras el poeta vanguardista y escritor americano Edward Estlin Cummings (más conocido como E.E. Cummings) alienta en su texto “A Poet´s Advice to Students”, mediante consejos y experiencias, a los poetas y a todos aquellos que se encuentran inmersos en el a veces oscuro, pero vital y profundamente necesario camino de la creación artística, para arrojar luz y esperanza sobre el mismo, para trabajar duro y encontrarse a uno mismo.

Sirva esta introducción como anuncio de la nueva aventura musical de Michaelsberg, experiencia esta con la que ya se estrenara en 2021, en el álbum “Lost in the abysses of time” inspirado en la novela de Virginia Woolf “The Waves”, por motivo del 90 aniversario de su publicación. En este caso es un poema del citado escritor E.E. Cummings, titulado “This is the garden: colours come and go” el elegido para inspirar los nuevos temas de Michaelsberg en 2023.

El concepto del “jardín” es algo que aparece constantemente en la literatura de todos los tiempos, constituyendo una alegoría llena de simbolismos y metáforas relacionadas con la vida y la muerte, con la juventud, con nuestro paso por este mundo, y cómo las experiencias de nuestro día a día van dando lugar a lo que en el futuro serán nuestros recuerdos.

El jardín simboliza la belleza, la juventud. Con el paso del tiempo, en los seres humanos, la edad hace que la lozanía de los cuerpos, su belleza y elasticidad se desvanezcan, de igual manera, el color, el perfume y el olor o el brillo desaparecen de las flores y de las plantas, que se van marchitando poco a poco.

Asimismo el cambio de color de la naturaleza representa también que las cosas más valiosas de la vida son las mas difíciles de mantener.

Otros grandes artistas como E.E. Cummings han recurrido al símil del jardín para desarrollar sus más bellos e inspirados escritos y poemas.

La ya citada Viriginia Woolf en su relato “Kew Gardens” realiza también una narración en la que va intercalando las conversaciones de la gente que pasea por un jardín de Londres, con las descripciones de plantas e insectos, hasta tal punto que a veces todo acaba fundiéndose en un único ecosistema. “Las figuras de estos hombres y mujeres pasaban ante el arriate con un curioso movimiento irregular que recordaba al vuelo de las mariposas blancas y azules que zigzagueaban de un macizo al siguiente”

El poeta español Francisco Brines en su bello poema “Ante el jardín nublado” reflexiona de la siguiente manera sobre la vida: “Soy la mirada en el jardín nublado, del yerto mundo, de la cama difunta, que produce los sueños. ¿En dónde están, y a dónde va mi vida que ya no está?”.

La escritora y poetisa Emily Dickinson, que vivió la mayor parte de su vida en la casa familiar de Amherst (Hampshire, Masachusetts) pasaba horas contemplando desde la ventana de su habitación un pequeño jardín, así como los prados y bosques cercanos por los que solía salir a explorar y a recopilar flores que luego prensaba: “No quiero que lo sepan las laderas por las que tanto paseé, ni decirles a los amados bosques el día en que me iré”.

Incluso el gran poeta alemán Goethe era también un apasionado de la botánica que le llevó a escribir un tratado sobre las mismas en “La metamorfosis de las plantas” con una minuciosa capacidad de observación y su enorme sensibilidad poética.

Sin más dilación, les dejamos a continuación con el poema de E.E. Cummings acompañado de la música de Michaelsberg, inspirada en dicho texto.

"This is the garden:colours come and go, frail azures fluttering from night’s outer wing strong silent greens silently lingering, absolute lights like baths of golden snow. This is the garden:pursed lips do blow upon cool flutes within wide glooms,and sing (of harps celestial to the quivering string) invisible faces hauntingly and slow. This is the garden. Time shall surely reap and on Death’s blade lie many a flower curled, in other lands where other songs be sung; yet stand They here enraptured,as among the slow deep trees perpetual of sleep some silver-fingered fountain steals the world."

From Space is the Place: “Place to really be free” is a recurring lyric, and it is set to the backdrop of jazz music. The entire album is jazz genre. Why is the type of music important? Jazz is a form of artistic freedom.

KOSMICA Institute: Space politics and dancefloors. 2nd November JOIN US 🫶🏼🪩❤️ Mariana Paredes Marie-Pier Boucher Nahum Romero Natalie Treviño KOSMICA presents this roundtable to discuss how does coloniality affect the conditions of the commons. It will address the questions including: Can commons actually exist while the world and the cosmos are regulated to the constraints of colonialism and capitalism? How space industries have mutated and controlled our perception of the future and therefore time itself. Is it a violent act to label places and spaces as commons? What are the new manifestos needed to decentralize space discourses about the relationship between humans and celestial bodies? This roundtable seeks to provoke but also to inspire new ideas to discuss about the universe with both boredom and fun.  #SpaceCulture #spaceistheplace #commons #dancefloor (at Gaïa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZvq0iDA-i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
