¡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

NOTRE PASSÉ JUDÉO-CHRÉTIEN

Les nouveaux curés et les nouvelles prêtresses de la pensée correcte de notre Québec n’en finissent pas de blâmer l’abominable Église catholique pour tout ce qui est croche dans notre petit monde québécois. Notre côté bougon, quétaine, « grand parleux-p’tit faiseux » ; notre méfiance maladive à l’égard des riches et notre rapport trouble au sexe et au progrès, tout cela nous viendrait de ce passé judéo-chrétien que l’Église, la mère de tous les maux,  nous aurait vissé dans les os et planté entre les deux oreilles pour les siècles des siècles. C’est en mettre gros sur le dos de l’Église. Il me semble que le défrichage d’un pays extrêmement rude et notre soumission forcée à un conquérant riche et méprisant (pourtant aussi judéo-chrétien que nous), nous ont cassé les reins autrement plus sûrement que les commandements de Dieu et de l’Église. Quand du haut de la chaire l’Église martelait que l’argent était la source de tous les maux et ne devait pas ê...

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 ...

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 Sander...
