As a gift that makes sense with all this experience, I am sending you and all, the Canto XII from The Heights of Macchu Picchu of Pablo Neruda. A big hug Juan Luis http://www.espacioabierto.net Arise to birth with me, my brother. Give me your hand out of the depths sown by your sorrows. You will not return from these stone fastnesses. You will not emerge from subterranean time. Your rasping voice will not come back, nor your pierced eyes rise from their sockets. Look at me from the depths of the earth, tiller of fields, weaver, reticent shepherd, groom of totemic guanacos, mason high on your treacherous scaffolding, iceman of Andean tears, jeweler with crushed fingers, farmer anxious among his seedlings, potter wasted among his clays-- bring to the cup of this new life your ancient buried sorrows. Show me your blood and your furrow; say to me: here I was scourged because a gem was dull or because the earth failed to give up in time its tithe of corn or stone. Point out to me the rock on which you stumbled, the wood they used to crucify your body. Strike the old flints to kindle ancient lamps, light up the whips glued to your wounds throughout the centuries and light the axes gleaming with your blood. I come to speak for your dead mouths. Throughout the earth let dead lips congregate, out of the depths spin this long night to me as if I rode at anchor here with you. And tell me everything, tell chain by chain, and link by link, and step by step; sharpen the knives you kept hidden away, thrust them into my breast, into my hands, like a torrent of sunbursts, an Amazon of buried jaguars, and leave me cry: hours, days and years, blind ages, stellar centuries. And give me silence, give me water, hope. Give me the struggle, the iron, the volcanoes. Let bodies cling like magnets to my body. Come quickly to my veins and to my mouth. Speak through my speech, and through my blood. Pablo Neruda De: OSLIST [mailto:osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu] En nombre de Suzanne Daigle Enviado el: miércoles, 13 de octubre de 2010 10:38 Para: osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu Asunto: Re: [OSLIST] PRE-INVITATION XIX WOSonOS CHILE 2011 (corrected) And as an old song says over here:“Y veras como quieren en Chile al amigo cuando es forastero”. Juan Luis Translation "And you will know how in Chile they love friends that are strangers." Today more than ever Juan Luis, we are no longer strangers, we are all friends. Juan Luis, as I was watching the miners, one by one, being welcomed by their family, their country and the world, listening to the passionate chant of "Chile" being repeated over and over again, remembering you doing the same in Berlin when you invited us to the 2011 WOSonOS , I felt I had to reach out in collective celebration of life and our common humanity. And then to hear the story of how a white butterfly is what probably saved the lives of a few of those miners just moments before the mine collapsed, how could I not think of Open Space, the work that we do and our wonderful international community. It appears the miners had slowed down their truck to admire in wonder this beautiful creature rarely if ever seen in the depth of a mine and as they did, rocks came crashing down right in front of them. By doing nothing, being still to admire this beautiful butterfly, it opened space for life and new beginnings. Friendship from us to you and all of Chile on this special day! * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
