On 23rd February we had a virtual meeting with the teachers of our Rural Libraries in Educational Institutions. Not many people had connected, but the group was select and the conversation flowed.
In our reading circle -by those coincidences that are not coincidences- we read El libro y la madrugada - The book and the dawn (from: Esa luz de más adentro - That light from further inside), the introduction written by Alfredo Mires for Los seres del más acá- The beings from over here, in 1988. I will always be surprised by this "absent presence" of Alfredo in our lives and on our path.
Almost at the end of the meeting we asked teachers for help: to write for our social networks. We know that they, from their schools, have a lot to tell and to share.
Then, teacher Clemencia Paredes sent me a photo via WhatsApp, where they were celebrating the end of the 2023 school year with a joijona, a custom she learned in Rural Libraries. And she sent me this greeting: "Thank you, Rita, for showing us Alfredo's footsteps, to follow the route he traced in life."
A beautiful message to remember the birthday of a wonderful person.
