Reflexi\u00f3n de Lisa McElaney<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflexi\u00f3n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El poema Testimony de Rebecca Badge, escrito para sus dos hijas, es un salvavidas para m\u00ed en tiempos de COVID. Quiero creerlo. Pero a veces eso significa que tengo que afirmar mi creencia. Muchos de aquellos con los que trabajo se enfrentan a desaf\u00edos continuos ante la pandemia y el trabajo necesario del reconocimiento racial. El agotamiento es palpable y la resiliencia est\u00e1 al l\u00edmite. Siento el llamado a renovar mi propia fe en la humanidad \u2014y en la humildad\u2014 cuando leo estos versos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testimonio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

por Rebecca Badge<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiero decirte
que el mundo sigue siendo hermoso... <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiero que mires una y otra vez, 
reconocer las hierbas tiernas,
rizado como el cabello fino de un beb\u00e9
alrededor de tus dedos, como un recurso recurrente 
milagro, ver que las piedras del r\u00edo
brilla como Dios, que el n\u00edtido 
voces del naranja y oro 
Las hojas de octubre se r\u00eden de la muerte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiero que mires debajo
la hierba, para destacar 
los fr\u00e1giles jerogl\u00edficos 
de hormiga, caracol, escarabajo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiero que entiendas que t\u00fa eres
ni m\u00e1s ni menos necesario 
que la ara\u00f1a reclusa parda, la rub\u00ed- 
colibr\u00ed gorgirrojo, la ballena jorobada 
ballena, la mimosa licenciosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiero decir, como Neruda, 
que estoy esperando 
\u201cuna gran y com\u00fan ternura,\u201d 
que todav\u00eda creo 
somos capaces de prestar atenci\u00f3n, 
que cualquiera que note el mundo 
debe de querer guardarlo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
