Description

Hello and welcome, I’m Renée Valentina and this is Musing Interruptus. A podcast meant for sharing thoughts, stories, enjoying idiomatic phrases and words in general. You can read along; the transcription is in the description of this episode. The idiomatic expressions are in italics. Try to get the meaning from the context and then look them up to see if you were right. If you like it, share it, but more importantly, continue the conversation. I want to specially thank Chuy Darío, my very talented sound partner. Thank you, Chuy. Today, Watch The Pot Boil. 

Oh no, it is over, when did this happen? It just came out of nowhere! Is what I would say if I didn’t know I have to pay attention. Being alert and connected to what is going on inside and around us is more pragmatic than magic. For those that don’t do this, it seems like magic. That is the ilusion. And it is also very lazy.


If you pay attention, life gives you signs of what is to come. There are so many earth shattering changes that do not happen from one moment to the next, but gradually. Being surprised reflects bad preparation and disconnection. Sometimes it is our intuition that tell us. There is a feeling or a thought. Or is it a thought that sets everything in motion? I imagine a pot with water over heat on a stove. Not just because of the frog, although, now that I’ve said it, it probably means something. If you pay attention, you realize the pot is simmering, you might even catch the first bubbles of air forming at the bottom of the pot and rising. Things, whatever those things are, are being set into motion. Some people are more intuitive than others. Some are professional watchers. Others are just very good at watching. The difference between an analyst and storyteller is specialized vocabulary and a series of diagrams. If you open their notebooks, side by side, you will find descriptions of penises and breasts. I assure you.

I believe we are all capable of putting the puzzle together.
