On This Day – August 22
Today we celebrate the birthday of Annie Proulx (born 1935), the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Shipping News and Brokeback Mountain. Her writing captures the depth of human experience, the beauty of landscapes, and the complexities of life. “You know, one of the tragedies of real life is that there is no background music.” — Annie Proulx This quote is very deep in meaning because it reminds us that we need to find our own music. We are the ones who set the pace, the rhythm, and the tune. Life unfolds in our hands, and it is up to us to make it a beautiful symphony, even though it will have moments full of drama, others of silence, and sometimes moments of despair. There is no background music because it is only up to us — life is not all written; it is unfolded. Español En esta fecha – 22 de agosto Hoy celebramos el cumpleaños de Annie Proulx (nacida en 1935), autora ganadora del Pulitzer de The Shipping News y Brokeback Mountain. Su escritura refleja la profundidad de la experiencia humana, la belleza de los paisajes y las complejidades de la vida. “Uno de los tragos de la vida real es que no hay música de fondo.” — Annie Proulx Esta cita es muy profunda porque nos recuerda que debemos encontrar nuestra propia música. Somos nosotros quienes marcamos el ritmo, la cadencia y la melodía. La vida se despliega en nuestras manos, y depende de nosotros hacerla una sinfonía hermosa, aunque tenga momentos llenos de drama, otros de silencio, y algunos incluso de desesperación. No hay música de fondo porque todo depende de nosotros: la vida no está escrita, se despliega.
