And then they say "oh, it's beautiful over there, isn't it?", and you say "yes, it is", and what everybody thinks but doesn't say is "then how come you are not there?". And you think -you try to convince yourself- that it's because you want more. You want different. And as human beings we are doomed to always want some more. We are doomed to desire. Beauty is just not enough.
But then one day you try to find beauty, and all there is this: cities, streets, your dog barking at 6 a.m., your mother's hands, the smell of your hair, an egg sandwich, a carton of milk. That's all there is, and it is not enough. And it isn't because you are looking in the wrong place. You are looking with the wrong eyes. You are asking the wrong questions. You are failing to see that all there is is this. All there is, just is.
And it is beautiful.

La costumbre es la más mística de las características de la naturaleza humana: te permite seguir tu vida tras la perdida de un ser querido. Solo despues de haber despojado a esa relación de lo más bello: de su semántica. Belleza, arte y lo sublime se encuentran velados tras el camuflaje de la cotidianidad.
