    Reflexiona con un poema de Derek Walcott

    Un tema profundo analizado en el blog Pijamasurf. Ese momento crucial en que una persona se reconcilia consigo misma, acepta lo que es y, a partir de eso, comienza a amarse incondicionalmente.

    Love after love

    The time will come
    when, with elation
    you will greet yourself arriving
    at your own door, in your own mirror
    and each will smile at the other’s welcome,

    and say, sit here. Eat.
    You will love again the stranger who was your self.
    Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
    to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

    all your life, whom you ignored
    for another, who knows you by heart.
    Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

    the photographs, the desperate notes,
    peel your own image from the mirror.
    Sit. Feast on your life.
