For The Disappeared

Sometimes silence is louder than thunder! That was the case this past Saturday at the inauguration of the exhibit “Los Desaparecidos” (The Disappeared) where the Guatemalan Social Democrat government opted for the silence. We hear you load and clear, alright.

I like your words, silence is louder than thunder. I also liked your photograph.

I will definitely will check this exhibit when I am down there in July. On a lighter note, I will start a list of things to do and get on my expedition to the Land of Eternal Spring. To get thing #1: “un trompo de madera” 😀

About disappeared persons, this shows a very sad moment of our history. Let’s pray the survivor families who are crying for their lost.

Amen Lucy, as a human being I cannot imagine anything worse than wondering, the uncertainty of not knowing. This reminds me of a Ruben Blades song.

Rudy, an amazing series you’ve got here about tragedy of a people that I hope never repeats itself again. We all need “to mold a new reality closer to the heart” (from that Canadian Band “Rush”). Thought your buddies up north would appreciate that reference, Rudy. Ciao!
