New Worlds

  • Leaving behind the misplaced congratulations and all the good years that are repeated in the loop, the wheel starts to work again, has it never stopped?, and to breathe – or something like that. Also in this is an advantage to be a pastor, to be immersed in sheep work does not leave us time or desire to immerse ourselves in the whirlwind, and with a little luck, when we go down to the street the breath of repetitive messages has passed. You'll only see the damage caused, the fragments of the perfect happiness that the machine has forced.

Excuse me for the beginning; maybe a bit pessimistic. Don't worry, we'll get to the dungeon, even if it's tired, and then this will take another color. This has been my journey over the last two weeks.

I intend to take the cheese and do the shopping. But when I left, I didn't take only what I needed to go home. The sadness of your words did not fit in the car, and I kept it in my heart, together with your confidence in me and your love for the project.

Two days later, at the conference given by the economist Amaia Pérez Orozco in the village, I got your words for a moment: in this scandal we are experiencing, there are changes that are already happening and nice experiments that help us to make and imagine that life for all is possible.

It is surprising how little importance we attach to simple initiatives, even if we are part of them. No, I am not going to start claiming pride, but if we have to be honest, and we need it, if we believe in the projects around us – and we believe, if not, we would not – we have to feed on life, on our own life, if they are not going to die – if we are not –. Forcefully. There is no alternative.

And furthermore, we are indebted to the elderly, to the young, among other things. This society cannot accept that 60% of the youth of Hego Euskal Herria have suicidal or self-sufficient thoughts. Nor is suicide the leading cause of death among young people between the ages of 15 and 29, before traffic accidents. Are these, together with GDP, the indicators of the welfare society? Have the dreams that we filled with material heritage brought us to a future without dreams?

The presence of the community was repeated in the talk. How many people make up the community? "One of those who followed him asked." Another contributes to the community to start sewing: take the cake to any neighbor on your portal, introduce yourself. Laughter was heard in the room. But how many names do you know about your portals? And what are the young people learning from the portal? The construction of the people, the auzolan... fills our mouth, but we have to start from the base, because we lack the base: knowing the names and names of the people who live to us lado.La chance has taken
me these days to the LARRUN of April 2020 where he gathered reflections on militancy models. Shortly after I started reading, I started to make the knot to the braid: “In this fragmentation of spaces and times, we could rethink militancy as a space that sews up all the space: turning the work environment into a space of militancy, making the militancy space a space to satisfy the relational, making the space of militancy a space from inside the house a field of militancy. The 24-hour militancy that has been mentioned so much, we should understand it as a model of life, and not as a disposition. Filling with content the motto ‘Living in struggle’”.

The motto "To live in struggle, as I have understood, does not mean to live with anger, but to give way to what we think and feel; to translate in our day to day, in a fragmentary way, that new world that is habitable for all. Perhaps that is the most terrible revolution that we feel today engaged in the construction of a new world in small initiatives.

The column of the Basque Country Irratia – 1:01:56 – by Janire Arrizabalaga on December 27 has rounded everything. The young Gernikarra ends like this: “From now on, don’t give me happiness or happy new year, just good worlds.”

Thank you very much to all of you who are building good worlds living in struggle.
