Reflexi\u00f3n de Jayne Singer<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El 13 de marzo de 2018, el d\u00eda en que perdimos a Berry, deb\u00eda ser el segundo d\u00eda de un curso de formaci\u00f3n sobre \u201cObservaciones del comportamiento de los reci\u00e9n nacidos\u201d que impart\u00eda en la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard, en Boston. Al final del primer d\u00eda, una tremenda ventisca se hab\u00eda abatido sobre Boston y, al terminar antes de lo previsto, sab\u00edamos que los edificios de la Facultad de Medicina y muchos otros estar\u00edan cerrados al d\u00eda siguiente. Para los participantes que viv\u00edan relativamente cerca del lugar de la formaci\u00f3n, pospusimos y reprogramamos el segundo d\u00eda y los despedimos a todos con unas palabras de precauci\u00f3n para que viajaran con seguridad. La reprogramaci\u00f3n no era una opci\u00f3n para los participantes que hab\u00edan venido de lejos, incluidos los que proced\u00edan del extranjero. As\u00ed que yo, que vivo a unas 2 millas del Instituto Brazelton y podr\u00eda ir andando si el transporte p\u00fablico no funcionara, qued\u00e9 con esos participantes para reunirnos el d\u00eda 13 en las oficinas del BI y continuar all\u00ed la formaci\u00f3n, ya que ten\u00eda mi acreditaci\u00f3n que nos permitir\u00eda el acceso. As\u00ed pues, la ma\u00f1ana del 13 de marzo, me puse en marcha a pie para abrirme paso con dificultad a trav\u00e9s de la tormenta de nieve que segu\u00eda azotando hasta llegar al edificio de oficinas. Parte del trayecto lo pude recorrer junto al \u201cr\u00edo Muddy\u201d, que resultaba muy bonito cubierto de nieve. Por alguna raz\u00f3n, me detuve en un puente peatonal sobre el r\u00edo para observar c\u00f3mo ca\u00eda la nieve en grandes y suaves copos. Recog\u00ed un pu\u00f1ado bien apretado y lo dej\u00e9 caer al agua, absorto en observar los c\u00edrculos conc\u00e9ntricos que se extend\u00edan hacia fuera. Luego, me estremec\u00ed y segu\u00ed mi camino. Solo hab\u00eda tres participantes adem\u00e1s de m\u00ed, as\u00ed que nos instalamos en la oficina de Berry para una jornada de formaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s \u00edntima alrededor de su mesa. Cuando imparto clases, suelo poner mis dispositivos personales en silencio o apagarlos. De forma m\u00e1s inexplicable que mi decisi\u00f3n de detenerme en el puente, ten\u00eda el m\u00f3vil a mi lado mientras impart\u00eda la clase y, algo a\u00fan m\u00e1s inusual en m\u00ed, decid\u00ed mirarlo cuando vibr\u00f3. Entonces, al ver un n\u00famero desconocido, me desvi\u00e9 por completo de mi rutina habitual, me levant\u00e9 en medio de la clase y ped\u00ed permiso para ausentarme. Apenas hab\u00eda llegado al pasillo cuando me enter\u00e9 de la noticia. Tard\u00e9 otra media hora en poder recomponerme y volver a la formaci\u00f3n. All\u00ed, tuve que compartir la devastadora noticia con el grupo, adem\u00e1s de pedirles que no la difundieran todav\u00eda, ya que a\u00fan no se hab\u00eda hecho ning\u00fan anuncio p\u00fablico. Como pod\u00e9is imaginar, los participantes del NBO fueron personas maravillosas con las que estar en un momento de profundo dolor y se ofrecieron a suspender la formaci\u00f3n. Sin embargo, sent\u00ed profundamente \u2014y sigo sinti\u00e9ndolo\u2014 que continuar con el trabajo es una forma enriquecedora de mantener a Berry entre nosotros y dar sentido a esa p\u00e9rdida tan profunda que surge de una conexi\u00f3n tan profunda; por eso, seguimos adelante con la clase. Fue una vez que todos se hab\u00edan marchado y yo me encontraba sola en la suite, en el despacho de Berry, sentada en su mecedora, cuando la magnitud de la p\u00e9rdida se hizo m\u00e1s \u00abaguda\u00bb, tal y como escrib\u00ed m\u00e1s tarde en el poema. Y fue m\u00e1s tarde esa misma noche cuando me cort\u00e9 profundamente el dedo mientras preparaba la cena, con la mente y el coraz\u00f3n claramente en otras cosas. El poema me vino a la mente unas pocas semanas m\u00e1s tarde, cuando, una vez m\u00e1s, terminaba el d\u00eda meci\u00e9ndome en su mecedora, en su despacho, y recordando los \u00faltimos 30 a\u00f1os de tutor\u00eda, amistad, aventura y amor. Ah, y en la llamada me enter\u00e9 de que Berry hab\u00eda fallecido justo cuando yo hab\u00eda hecho una pausa en el puente. Estoy muy agradecido por los a\u00f1os de su compa\u00f1\u00eda y tutela; y por este trabajo conjunto con todos nosotros, mientras seguimos creando ondas y resonancias que se extienden cada vez m\u00e1s all\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aire y agua<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Por Jayne Singer<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El d\u00eda que moriste, me cort\u00e9 el dedo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este \u00faltimo me afeit\u00f3 la piel; el primero me cort\u00f3 el ser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambos picaron y me encog\u00ed de dolor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uno lanz\u00f3 un aullido desgarrador del alma,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y uno derram\u00f3 sangre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No saneo tan r\u00e1pido como antes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La costra ha tardado en formarse: justo cuando se cierra, vuelve a abrirse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ardor renovado al dejar entrar aire y agua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lo veo y lo siento siempre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La agudeza disminuir\u00e1; s\u00e9 que lo har\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ya est\u00e1 dejando una mancha morada y furiosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sin embargo, soy demasiado viejo para que se desvanezca por completo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoy; estoy agradecido por eso mientras me siento donde estaba cuando me enter\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

siempre ser\u00e1 un recordatorio:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La cicatriz de tu ausencia en mi coraz\u00f3n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mientras vivo; dejando entrar aire y agua. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
