Lecture in the rain

Author's name: Juan Pioro

The introduction begins with a description of the lecturer’s shabby appearance, which is not befitting of a lecturer whose features and appearance are in a miserable, distracted state. It also refers to the contents of the table and desk, which all share a state of chaos and strangeness. Then the absurd scene is completed by his forgetting the lecture papers, saying: “I don’t know what’s happening to me… My whole life revolves around order. I work on organizing a library, and despite that, things slip through my hands.” Then he lures us into not caring about the papers, as one may become lost, and his mind may wander and wander even when he possesses all the things. Papers are important, but they may mean nothing when attention and passion are gone… “The lecture is a mental laboratory that gradually unfolds before the audience, and the speaker is the first to be surprised by it.” His lecture revolves around rain (rain of ideas), brainstorming. So perhaps… rain is what means… something… indeed, it is everything in all cases. What matters is… how the heart and mind of the listener will be while listening. It must be open to imagination… to liberation. And the air and the reception of the rain begin little by little to be liberated and told, about literature, reading, about love, about searching for the other half to be complete, so we keep searching with him and we discover that we were never an incomplete half, we are one whole, and the other is another one, so in this life a person may love a person, and life forces him to marry another, so the heart’s compass becomes without directions
