27. How wonderful to be able to write...

how wonderful to be able to write:
it's something you can't do, like

playing the piano, without thinking:
it's not important thinking, but the

strip has to wind, the right keys
have to be hit, you have to look to

see if you're spelling the words
right: maybe it's not the thinking

but the concentration, which means
the attention is directed outside

and focused away from the self, away
from obsessive self-monitorings (...)

27. Qué maravilloso poder escribir...

qué maravilloso poder escribir:
es algo que no puedes hacer como

tocar el piano, sin pensar:
no es un pensamiento importante, pero la

cinta tiene que enrollarse, deben golpearse
las teclas correctas, tienes que comprobar

si estás escribiendo bien las palabras:
tal vez no es el pensar

sino la concentración, lo que significa
que la atención está dirigida hacia fuera

y enfocada lejos del ser, lejos de
los obsesivos auto-monitoreos (...)
