The blue glove


Cuando tienes 5 años y la cabeza abierta con una brecha que palpita y que arde, no quieres que te grapen la herida o te la desinfecten.
No entiendes la utilidad del dolor.
Pataleas. Gritas. 
No quieres que tu padre o tu tío, o tu hermano, te digan que debes ser valiente. ¿Es menos valiente el que llora? 

Quieres una caricia, un abrazo, alguien que, con su sonrisa de volcán que todo lo inunda, sepa darle vida a un aséptico guante sanitario azul esterilizado y convertirlo en un extraño compañero al que agarrarte al sentir el miedo y el dolor cuando ella hace lo que tiene que hacer.
Así son las personas que sacan adelante el Rosalie Rendú Medical Center de Cité Soleil, Port-au-Prince. Haití.

When you are five and you have an open head wound throbbing and burning, you do not want anybody to stapled or disinfected it.
You do not understand the utility of pain.
you Kick non-stop. You scream.
You do not want your father or your uncle or your brother, to say that you must be brave. Does it crying made you less brave?


You want cuddle and hugs, someone with a smile like a volcano that can flooded everything. Someone who knows how to bring an aseptic blue sterilized medical glove into life and turn it into an odd companion to hold on to when you feel the fear and the pain that came when he/she does what it has to be done.
So this is how the people in charge of the Rosalie Rendu Medical Center in Cite Soleil, Port-au-Prince. Haití looks like.

Mensajes del más allá

Madrid-San Diego (CA)-Madrid
"There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart
Los Ángeles-San Diego (CA)-Madrid
 Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
San Juan del Sur (Nicaragua)-Madrid
 Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepiatone loving
Madrid-San Diego (CA)-Madrid
  Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
San Diego (CA)-Madrid
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
Madrid-Madrid
 It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
Madrid-Madrid
I'll tell you one thing,
Ulán Bator (Mongolia)-Madrid
it's always better when we're together"
