# TODOS SOMOS CATALUÑA
TODOS somos Cataluña, Soy Cataluña,
aunque no soy catalán, mi mujer sí lo es.
Todos somos Cataluña, soy Cataluña porque
Quiero a Cataluña y quiero que Cataluña sea querida,
mimada y protegida incluso contra ella misma y a pesar de ella misma.
Parece una contradicción en términos, pero no lo es.
Dios bien lo sabe que no hay nada malo, per se, en la independencia.
Pero la independencia tampoco puede ser el capricho de unos pocos.
Es el grito para la supervivencia de un pueblo,
una cuestión de vida y muerte donde se juega todo.
Pero nadie, por mucho que respete la libertad individual,
ni quiere, ni anima a un ser querido a suicidarse.
Por eso, hoy, todos somos Cataluña.
Todos somos Cataluña, soy Cataluña porque
en Cataluña viven catalanes-catalanes,
catalanes-españoles y españoles catalanes.
Todos somos Cataluña, soy Cataluña,
Pese a no ser español, mi mujer y mis hijos, sí lo son.
Todos somos Cataluña, soy Cataluña porque
en Cataluña viven los catalanes, los españoles catalanes,
los españoles europeos y los europeos españoles y también los residentes europeos en España residentes en Cataluña. Por eso soy Cataluña.
Soy Cataluña porque los ricos; los bancos, las grandes empresas y las grandes multinacionales lo tiene muy fácil cambiar su sede social para seguir siendo protegidos. Pero mi familia y todas las familias y personas físicas en Cataluña no pueden cambiar su sede, ni social, ni física. ¿Qué hay de nosotros?
Por eso todos somos Cataluña porque TODOS queremos ser protegidos contra la inseguridad jurídica, inseguridad económica, inseguridad multicultural y la inseguridad física por ser diferentes.
Todos somos Cataluña, soy Cataluña. Aunque no soy español, soy nativo del universo y tengo derecho a mi parte de la herencia.
Para que unos “MUCHOS”, al autoexcluirse, no nos priven a TODOS de lo que es de TODOS,

¡Ampáranos alguien!  (Tadeo Jones, el inmigrante catalán)

Reap Today's Harvest!

 A few days ago, life took from us a beautiful girl only 10 years old. The only daughter of a friend, but as if she were my daughter.  21 years ago, on a day like today, May 25th, I lost my  elder sister in suspicious circumstances.  I have cried, I have given myself the right to be angry, I have not been afraid to ask hard questions like: why her? And why me, and why so young? And justice? And karma? What a good person she was? She only dedicated herself to helping the sick, to singing with that angelic voice she had, to sharing with others her joy and laughter.  Why her? Why, why, why ? I don't know who to be angry at. I don't know who to expect answers from. The only thing that reaches me is silence. And a resounding... Life owes you nothing! So  how am I to take this life ? Then I understood the litany of life: Life is a free gift, take it or leave it. Life is like a seed, it depends on the soil and surrounding circumstances to flourish or wither ....

Holy Saturday is a docility post-trauma experience

-
Holy Saturday is the most appropriate day to talk about what I call the post-trauma docility syndrome. This expression refers to the tendency we all have to withdraw into ourselves, become docile, submissive and even inactive, out of fear and as an attempt to avoid further suffering. “I’m staying at home; stay at home”, the chorus we have taken up in relation to the coronavirus scenario, depicts this human attitude we all have in a crisis situation but above else, it is also a coded message of what could happen even after the trauma or danger of coronavirus (in this case), is over. Holy Saturday is a docility post-trauma experience   for Christians. Any Christian who has a little knowledge of Secrad Scriptures knows what I am talking about. After Jesus is arrested in the Garden of Getsemani and later killed, all his disciples and apostles escape and seek hiding places. Judas' hiding place is suicide when he realises that the events he thought he had planned so well get out of ...

Beloved Africa

-
Beloved Africa. In my quiet moments, I pondered on her, This most beautiful daughter of the Planet.  Blessed and bestowed with mystery and wonders. Her contours of evergreen valleys, Gentle steeps of trees and  flowing streams, Home to thunderous storms and dreamy lakes. Her womb swells with undiluted resources, Truly a cradle of humanity's ancestors, Carved out and standing tall in your ebony splendour.  Enchanter of the sun, Cajoler of the moon; You soothe to sleep in a lullaby of colours, each passing day. Africa, virgin daughter of the universe, Whose rhythm follows the drums of the heart. Your astonishing beauty has attracted only woes, Forcefully deflowered while you slept as in Eden. Your sons and daughters sold out as merchandise, Raped, plundered, exploited by strangers; Misery, poverty, death are your permanent mourning garments. Of you, we only hear sad stories being told,  Even some of your offsprings add ...
