Reading and transcribing the Rescue Notebooks of the Campesino Encyclopedia Project, I begin to understand more that, previously, the customs of the peasant were much more unifying.
The fact of loving the earth and defending it is something gratifying. Now we are changing even in our way of expressing ourselves, of wanting, even in our parties, our dances, even the couplets are being lost and being replaced by others that do not identify us within our culture.
The writings of the companions of the province of Jaén, which also belong to the Network, where they mention the following text:
Everyone tells me that I adore
a flower of bad color.
The world can say what it wants,
it seems like a sun to me.
We all have something that we value very much, that we love and always want to protect, even though it does not have any importance for others: for us it will always be what strengthens us and fills us with joy.
