¡GOODBYE, NELSON!

-

You were a good boy, Nelson. Many thanks for what you did. Be happy forever! 

« Nelson » by Eloy Roy  

To look like you a little, one would have to come back to life and become a new man like you did after 27 years in jail. That would be an eternal Christmas for the whole of Earth. Already because of you, we feel that we are better people, less harsh, more open, more human. Your life kindles a soft light in our hearts.       

Greet Jesus for us. Because of you, we know him better. You never talked to us about him openly, but you were doing things that looked like his.         

You gave to Jesus’ face a black look which suits him perfectly. Like you, he was a non-standard fighter with a heart as large as the world. And his smile was dazzling like yours. Goodbye, Nelson!   

Peace and love to all my sisters and brothers of all colors and of all languages, of all religions and of all anti-religions, to all the good people as well as to all the nasty ones, and also to all those who slalom between the two (like myself and many others).        

Peace and love to my family, to my friends and especially to the least of the earth like those Beduin shepherds of the Holy Land who do not have the right to exist, those Syrian refugees who are freezing cold in the desert, those forgotten political prisoners who are rotting in the jails of the «reds» or  of the «whites», the First Nations of Quebec, of Canada and of the Chaco, the youth and the children who feel that they are not wanted on the planet. , How can we not dream that all human beings who suffer the unbearable feel that someone on earth loves them?

To all the poor, to all those who show solidarity, to all the «humanitarian» people, to all the outraged, to all the dreamers, to all those who weep and to all the missionaries of compassion, of justice and of liberation, may a huge wave of courage and justice surge over them all.          

May an immense wave of healing, a wave of unconditional love, a deep wave of peace bring us together and weld us to one another in freedom and in joy!       

A NEW CONSCIENCE AND A NEW HUMANITY
ARE COMING TO LIGHT
                        

                                         MERRY CHRISTMAS!

                                                                           Eloy Roy

  This new blog is not a blog but 50 blogs in one. It has many pages…    I admit that it's a bit crazy, but I can't find anything better to light up or intensify in those who have the courage to read me a few sparks of the immense energy that emanates from the gospels of Jesus. Energy, as we know, does not fragment. It passes through tombs, through walls, through data, notions, plans and specifications. It goes beyond speeches, words, laws, rules. It crosses what is already built and goes beyond the reasonable, the well-polished, and the well-ordered. Nothing stops it. This is why what matters in this blog is the overall movement and not the number of pages. What counts is the ball flying in the wind, and not primarily the marks and boundaries of the playing field. This blog is titled: Jesus, a man of risks . It could as well be called: Jesus at loggerheads with the Dinosaurs . Or: A Jesus according to the “new paradigm” of a world that is moving further away from the geogr

JOSEPH

                                                                                           Photo: Genée Jerome Seeing beyond all appearances Joseph, holding a hammer, is the man who helps Jesus to discover the treasures that are hidden within each tree. He teaches him to see here and there, beyond all appearances, beams for the framework of a house,  a table, a door, a seat, a loom, a cradle, a coffin; kitchen utensils, bowls for eating, buckets for the well, tools for working the soil, crutches for the infirm, clogs for the poor, a barrel for the wine… Jesus learns from Joseph that the tree is aware that it will be sacrificed so that its brothers and sisters may enjoy a more humane life; that brings it a great joy. And even though it suffers by that, the tree is proud to know that from its body is drawn the cross on which very often are nailed throughout the world the men and the women in love with justice and freedom.     Joseph learns from Jesus how to chop a tree with r

VOTING FOR LOSERS

If I were an American, in the next presidential election I would vote for Bernie Sanders. That’s because Bernie is the freest, the most humane, the more just and the truest among all the candidates in line. But Bernie will lose, for sure. Why? Probably because the majority of Americans - like most of the inhabitants of our planet - want nothing but money, even dirty money that trickles down with blood.  W hat is «more free, more humane, more just and more true» comes second for them. Moreover, they don’t give a damn!   «The majority», I said, not everybody, since a minority will vote for Bernie.   2000 years ago, I would have voted for Jesus, you see? ... And so, why do I vote for losers? The youth knows very well why. The youth feels that Old Sanders’ ideas are vital for democracy, for social justice and for the peace in the world. The youth is aware that the future of the humankind is going exactly in this direction. So t he youth votes for Sanders. Jesus lost for
