WAY, TRUTH AND LIFE
Florentino UlibarriNow there is no novelty in our lives,
nor in the ways of history,
nor in our personal and collective memory.
It is a time for reflection and meditation
about everything we have taken on,
and in the sterile areas of the world
and of our innermost being.
Now your word breaks our plans
and the horizon clouds over and closes down
and on the pathways so many footprints are no longer clear...
It is a time for silence,
to forget sad feelings
to welcome your unusual proposal
and bear witness to the truth.
A time will come when liberty will no longer be a dream,
in which frontiers will disappear
and human beings will be respected
and we will find in the other person, a brother,
on the day that people are no longer classified
by their colour, wealth or race,
nor by their power, religion or social conditiion
A new day will come when truth
will shine and will enligthen all people
and will not need to be protected or explained,
a day which will be different,
full of truths, dreams and projects
so that it looks like the final kingdom
that we are called to create together.
Soon a new day will come, your day, Lord,
since you are the way, truth and life
although new Pilates remain sceptical!
Florentino Ulibarri
