One of the messages of the classic tale entitled Pulgarcito is precisely the invitation to slip through the difficulties and capture the dynamism of the miniature. Let us remember that in the narration the little protagonist settles in the horse’s ear, speaks quietly and achieves with a “strong” voice that only listens to the one who must do so, to get the animal to advance, and with this unusual fact the goal of moving from the small to the big is achieved. That dynamic of the small to the big is what Dr. Teresa Díaz Canals shares in her text to point out some aspects that she believes are necessary when addressing the issue of care in Cuba.

Over the years, journalist Miguel Terry Valdespino claims that a poem such as “Late village” and a work as human and spiritual as that of Father Angel Gaztelu, “could not go unnoticed before the eyes and pen of the poet, narrator and critic baptized Carlos Jesús Cabrera Enríquez, who died at the young age of 54 and in full creative maturity”. Carlos, writer of extreme honesty, created, following the founding of Artemis as a province, the late people’s talk, the name of a poem of the same name of the priest and spiritual leader also of the renowned Grupo Orígenes, composed of figures such as Cintio Vitier, Fina García-Marruz, José Lezama Lima and Gastón Baquero, among others, who under his light (not in his shadow) , in the church of Nuestra Señora de la Merced and other grounds of Bauta, they broadened their spiritual vision not only with regard to religion and culture, but also in terms of the destiny of the Cuban nation.

We share with the readers of Palabra Nueva this text by Jorge Fernández Era, who this time writes about the need that we all have to feel accompanied and accompany at the same time the family member, the friend, the neighbor door with door or the acquaintance of the corner. “That’s what it’s all about: we have to go with each other. There’s no other left.”

Respectable and noble peoples rise only on the basis of virtues, assures us Teresa Díaz Canals, for whom the number one task in the face of the physical and moral deterioration of the nation, “without building, is to build”. Building, he tells us, is making history. It is a double building: architectural and historical. “And in that reparation of our society that eliminates the deep confrontation between ‘official’ Cubans and ‘mercenaries’ we must find the need that goes beyond any building as a sturdy coat, inner wealth is required. A loss of interior space has a paralyzing effect of subjecting to the immediate.”

“That the swings of international trade will give us a damn in the future will depend on the cumin not having to look for it in China and make our land produce it, so that everyone, back from their work, can buy it at ease with the percentage of sweat invested, using only their Legitimately Conquered Currency.” About this and more, goes the analysis of Jorge Fernández Era in the most recent issue of #PalabraNueva, without leaving aside the intelligent and certain humor to which he has us accustomed.

The year 2020 will be remembered by humanity as one of the most terrible of this new century. As if wars, daily miseries and climatic and human dismantling were not enough, an epidemic came to […]

A topic of constant debate today in the world of social media is spelling. When we write well we respect not only the art of communicating and the language we speak, but the neighbor who reads to us.

According to The Cuban writer Eric Adrián Pérez González or Yitzjaq Aharon, a Sephardic Jew, selfishness has spawned humanity’s worst monsters. For the author of “La Vuelta”, an acute work that says truths that touch many nations, selfishness manifests itself in its most horrible form when it assumes power, for it completely loses its sanity and shatters human dignity. For this author, a Miami resident, the only liberating force is true love. “When you really love everything starts to make sense, you connect with that eternal energy and you feel complete, because you understand what your part is in that great puzzle of life,” he says.

With regard to the celebration of Cuban Culture Day this October 20th, the magazine Palabra Nueva proposes reading a text by Msgr. Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, who was, until his death, a member of our editorial board. About the writer José Lezama Lima and his Catholic being, goes the following article. With the conviction that the Lezamian theme will never be exhausted, for it is an inexhaustible mine, the author does not seek to canonize Lezama, but he does not demonize it either. He considered him as a person and admired him as the multifaceted writer he was. “And I do not exclude him from ecclesial communion, which lived with truth, but… in his own way!” he says.

This is the story of a man who walked through life under a dangerous amount of vices, sleepovers and alcohol in his blood, without knowing days or nights, and without any attention to the advice of his mother and friends, Christians a good part of them. He finally heard them. Today he is an ambulance driver, a job he appreciates, because he feels that from his post he helps the needy. And even if ambulances are missing and the guards are tense, it takes encouragement to many in need, whether it’s a sick child, a physical impeded or an old man.
