Ramiro is reborn

Just a few weeks ago, our brother Ramiro Yglesias, coordinator of the Hoyada Verde, in the province of Contumazá, left at dawn to visit an area where libraries need to be revived. In one of the closed curves of the road, the collective car in which he was travelling fell into the ravine. Two of the five passengers died. Ramiro was severely injured. For this Assembly of our Network, Ramiro called us by phone, we put him on speaker phone, and he read us a poem he had written:

The story of my destiny

The story that I have went through

has touched the heart

and not being with friends

is a desolation.

Life brings us pains

and also a lot of joy

I always have hope

that we'll be together someday.

Today I was born again

a new life starts

with the consolation of you all

I think it calms the wound.

To heal, not only

science is needed

the flowers also heal us

when one remembers

My libraries what will they do

when I no longer visit

I cannot keep the register

because I find myself unwell.

Finally I say goodbye

Please do not cry

my greetings to you all

in the central office.

We are here but also there with you, Ramiro!
