His teachings continue to be relevant even today, especially in the light of the prevailing intolerance and fanaticism in the nation, and the increasing turmoil in the world.

What if, one day, Europe was to crack along the length of the Pyrenees, separating the Iberian peninsula?

His performance captures the excitement and confusion of adolescence and adventure.

He aquí algunos textos, breves, muy breves porque son los cortos pasos en el caminar, los pequeños eslabones de la vida y la muerte del hombre. A veces somos arrastrados ("ya no camino / el camino me lleva"); otras, el futuro es deseado como desea el ladrón lo robado ("cada nuevo día / es un regalo") y con frecuencia asalta el dolor, la duda o la insatisfacción ("Piensas una cosa / deseas otras / amas otra / haces otra cosa"). Con todo persiste siempre la esperanza y el deseo del más allá ("la eternidad cada día mendiga mi confi anza").
