Impráctica
How to exist, then, becomes a polyrhythmic
call to the reader. The recurring theme of the
book is the search for meaning in life, and
here lies perhaps that most impractical
aspect of the book: the quest. But Fernández
doesn't leave the reader alone or singular in
this regard: in the introduction to the book
she expressly encourages the reader to
become a traveller herself, to transform the
impractical into the practical through poetry
and art. Not simply to be a traveller, actually,
but rather a guide through words, colours
and forms on one's own journey to meaning.
The quest becomes a question: how to exist?
There might not be a destination in sight, nor
even one to be found, but the journey "in the
eternal minute / of the present / awaiting" will
have been worth every step taken if only the
call is answered.
