October 30, the centenary of the birth of the English poet Miguel Hernández. His passage through this world was very short, at 31 years old patient dies imprisoned by the fascist regime of Franco.
Rereading the life of this great poet arose in my heart the image of Mariano and called him just thirteen years old when he took theater classes at our cultural center Pizarnik. He was the youngest of the workshop, looking deep, short, fully supportive of a heart I believe the word here is change, life was cut down by the folly and malice of the "old man" as quoted by Paul in his letter to the Colossians 3, 8-10: "But now we need to end up with anger, bitterness, malice, slander and rude conversations. Because you took off the old man and his works, and the new man is moving towards perfect knowledge, constantly renewed in the image of its Creator "also comes to my heart again words of St. Paul in his letter to the Ephesians "But the fruit of light is goodness, justice and truth. Able to discern what pleases the Lord, and do not participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, on the contrary put them in evidence "Mariano in his short journey as Miguel Hernandez knew the essence of the word freedom, became flesh as the English poet, the sense of fighting for a better life. Mariano with his death highlighted the works of darkness, totalitarian thinking that goes hand in hand with anger and resentment and accompanied by the other hand the power of that "old man" that many still carry with them. Today Miguel Hernández is still living in his poems, Marianito today still lives in the hearts of all who believe that justice, solidarity and love for others is possible in this world despite the "old man" who persists in not leaving .
