The Story of Regina

Explanation of the letter I have written to Regina Oliveira. She was an important part of the surreal story of my life from 1984 to 1991, then she disappeared. Her love sustained us in a very difficult time. This story teaches that you can’t know how much the kindness you do today will change the world forty years from now.

Su amor nos sostuvo en un momento muy difícil. Esta historia enseña que no puedes saber cuánto la bondad que haces hoy cambiará el mundo dentro de cuarenta años.

An important decision about my articles

The most important lesson of the last six months of my life is: to be who I am without reservation, without restraint. I’m a teacher, not a mushroom. And I participate in a Hispanic church. Therefore, I will write in Spanish first.

And I think I have problems?

God’s people had been ruled by God as their King. But they had forgotten him. Still, Samuel said to them, “And as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.”

¿Y creo que yo tengo problemas?

La gente de Dios le había sido gobernada por Dios como su Rey. Pero ellos le han olvidado. Quisieron un Rey “como todas las naciones”, no Dios. Aun así, Samuel les dijo: «y en cuanto a mí, lejos esté de mí que peque contra el Señor, cesando de orar por ustedes».

A question about being forgotten

Many times it seems to me that people have decided to treat me as non-existent. How should I love them?

Una pregunta sobre ser olvidado

Muchas veces me parece que personas hayan decidido tratarme como inexistente. ¿Cómo debo amarles?

About “Turn, Turn, Turn” by “The Byrds”

This is my fear and my hope. There is a time to dance, although I could never dance. There is a time to hug each other. There is a time for peace. There is a time to love. Will that time come during my lifetime? I do not know.

Sobre «Turn, Turn, Turn» por «The Byrds»

Responde a la canción vieja «Turn, Turn». Hay un tiempo para todo. Pero espero que el tiempo de bailar, abrazarse y hacerse paz no haya pasado ya.
