pÉrdida iRReversible

Nunca compartí el fervor religioso (pero sí su dignidad y fervor de libertad y justicia para todos los cubanos) con que Payá llevaba a cabo su lucha. Sin embargo, siempre admiré su fe porque –dada la constante evidencia de que gran parte de los seres humanos somos bestias poco dignas de la hermosura cabal y pensante con que los idealistas tildamos la humanidad– lo sostuvo en sus peores momentos y le dio fuerza para enfrentarse toda su vida a una realidad cruel, inhóspita y traicionera. Espero que en sus últimos segundos, esa fe lo haya arropado, protegiéndolo de todo dolor y lo haya recibido como a un gran ser humano. Mis condolencias a su familia y a todos nosotros, por otra pérdida en vano a cambio de más miseria y mentiras. A todos nosotros, por este luto de 54 años que nos asfixia.

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long...

"Stairway To Heaven" Led Zeppelin

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
 Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure '
Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.

And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
