About learning, teaching and being – One more for the Road, part 4

One extra text in the series. This time in English.

Tuoli niityllä, tuolin päällä tomaatti
Eevamari Kitti

Text: Eevamari Kitti

These texts are just stories. I am colouring, underlining and blurring my words according to what the atmosphere or the rhythm of the text suggests. Everything I could have described quite differently. I choose to use the effective rather than the exactly true utterance. When I finish writing the last sentence I immediately note that: ”It wasn’t like that.”

Unfortunately the following text is the only one in English.

I am / The lightness

I am the movements I have done

learned

copied

invented

sensed

embraced.

I am not the movements I have learned

copied

invented

sensed

embraced.

Who or what defines me? Nothing defines me. I don’t want to be defined. I don’t want to define myself.

These are my hands, my arms. These arms have lived before I was born.

These are my mother’s arms, my brother’s arms, my daughter’s arms. These arms will still live when I’m gone.

I am many. I am none of them. I am all of them.

I am just something that all these

movements 

sensations

emotions

thoughts

situations

events pass through.

I am just something that passes through these

movements 

sensations

emotions

thoughts

situations

events.

I am many. I am none of them. I am all of them.

The heaviness

I want to escape the heaviness of all that has happened. Leaving open, undefined, is calling me.
