Este libro es mi ars poetica. Reúne el contenido de la bitácora de cubicherías y otras serendipias que siempre quise y nunca fue. Es mi casita en el árbol, mi solárium; un espacio propio para volver a las palabras, mis palabras; aquellas que resuenan en mi pecho a pesar del tiempo y la distancia. Quiero redescubrirlas como un entomólogo o botanista; sacudirles el polvo de los años; traerlas a la vida por medio del conjuro de la evocación. Un tanto con la actitud asombrada de aquel niño ángel, naturalista creador de herbarios, quien me susurrara optar por un título en nuestra lengua abuela: Hortus verborum. Deseo regresar a la palabra como se retorna a una planta curativa, aromática u ornamental. O a la raíz, a la semilla, a la tierra madre. A fin de cuentas, se ha dicho, en el principio fue el Verbo... De modo que este es para mí un libro genésico; un libro para reconectarme con mi savia original. Un libro jardín. Yansulier García Álvarez (Cuba, 1983) ha transitado por el periodismo, la enseñanza del francés y los estudios hispánicos. Es autor, entre otros, de los libros de relatos Ocamaniri y Flores del camposanto.

Elle s'envole vers le Brésil pour la retrouver.La rencontre inattendue avec Ana et Joao, la pousse à sortir de ses acquis, à guérir de blessures et à ouvrir la porte de son intuition.Jusqu'où Milie ira-t-elle dans cette quête intérieure?

I used to be a Male-to-Female transgender person, and for thirty years of my life, I believed I was a girl trapped in a boy's body. This was a firm belief I held; I believed I was born this way, and nothing or no one could change my mind. This belief eventually led me to medically transition into a woman, or so I thought, until I had a supernatural spiritual encounter with God, which lasted for five days.The author, Ricardo Simms, shares his journey of breaking free from this mindset and recovering his stolen identity-the identity God had always intended for him. He shares the struggles he faced in letting go of the Wrong Identity and learning how to embrace his newfound identity in Christ Jesus. You'll be able to see where and how it all started for five-year-old Ricardo, witness the moment of truth discovery, and understand the decision that broke him free after more than three decades.You'll also see how the love of God led him to repentance. It becomes clear that our true identity doesn't come from possessions, careers, or the world, but solely from Jesus. If your identity isn't rooted in Jesus, you too may be living in the "Wrong Identity."

Ne cesser de rapetisser alors que le souhait est de s'élever. La façon de se comporter, de couper du bois, de regarder les minuscules choses qui attrapent les yeux, de mettre en avant les choses indispensables, se livre à des chaînes rouillées, des bras engourdis, des membres ankylosés. Les visages vus à un moment sont très grands. Les fronts d'une légèreté si grande touchent le plafond. Le ciel, lui, encore plus haut, désapprend la propriété du vide Ici, l'état d'une voix, d'un souffle. Un souffle, au sens biblique, qui façonne l'homme et qui tient les fils de son présent et de son futur.Le propos, se veut modeste avec le minimum de qualificatif, de jugement, de sentiment. Il existe derrière les mots, les actions aussi minimes soient-elles, une réflexion attentive bien plus proche de la rêverie sensible que d'une simple recherche d'humain.Choisir la poésie comme chemin vers soi-même est un moyen de franchir l'opacité du monde terrestre, une certaine épaisseur à traverser.
