AGONÍA – Ventana literaria
AGONÍA Me estoy muriendo y otros se regocijan, ocurrencias de la calle e impresiones vacías me miran. Un día no podré hablar y don dinero no sé reirá más. Quizás me extrañe, o quizás no, solo quiero que en esta batalla la poesía no me olvide y que la madre tierra en su regazo me abrace. LMML.

WHY I PREACH TO THE CHOIR
05 February 2024
Several of you have asked me why I spend so much time and energy on this letter, which is read mainly (if not exclusively) by people who already share my views and values.
“Why are you preaching to the choir?” you ask. “Wouldn’t your efforts be more useful if you tried to convince people who aren’t already convinced?”
I doubt I’d be more useful if, say, I went on Fox News. Even if I presented everything I provide in this letter, I doubt I’d change many minds. In my experience, people who have a deep emotional or intellectual investment in seeing the world one way are unlikely to change their minds by seeing or hearing someone who challenges that investment.
The people who need to be reached are those who remain reachable — whose minds are still open to evidence and argument.
Even if you already agree with me — even if you’re already in the “choir” — you still may benefit from two things I can offer…
Carnival in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria
I wish I was in Las Palmas this year too, so I could participate in the carnival, but these photos bring me back to last year. And, if you have the chance you should definitely visit the island!
My Most Ideal Day – Daily Observation
Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.
There’s always coffee in it
Birdsong in the early morning
Some good food, before digesting
A relaxing evening; maybe candles are lit
