La belleza y la dignidad
With nothing else to occupy his mind, Jabour poured his energy into decorating his cell. After a year had gone by, the Americans gave him a map of the world, and later they gave him pictures of fish and animals. “I had asked them for a plant, which they didn’t give me, so I drew a big tree, with leaves colored on it,” he remembered. “I cut it out and taped it up on the wall.” He also made grass out of strips of paper. “I drew flowers, and I stood on my chair and stuck them to the ceiling.”
Del caso de Marwan Jabour, dos años detenido en una cárcel secreta de la CIA.

Negar una planta debe tener una retribución kármica terrible. Pero qué belleza en cambio esa fuerza de espíritu que lleva al detenido a dibujarla.

Hermoso, realmente hermoso
Muy en sintonia con La Margarita, un hermoso laburo de Jaime Ross sobre textos de Mauricio Rosencof

Me encanta cuando debe elegir entre llevarse un colchón y un libro: escoge el libro.
