Jorge Arturo Rodr\u00edguez <\/b>
Tierra de Babel<\/i><\/p>\n

Cierto d\u00eda, andando por las calles de Xalapa, \u00bfbella a\u00fan?, me encontr\u00e9 con una amiga de aquellos tiempos universitarios, y luego de los consabidos saludos, besitos y remembranzas, ella ahora ama de casa, me pidi\u00f3 que le recomendara algunas lecturas para su sobrino de quince a\u00f1os, \u201cquiero intentar que lea algo, porque se la pasa d\u00eda y noche en el chat o con su celular mensajeando, perdiendo su tiempo\u201d. \u201c\u00bfTu sobrino? \u00bfY tus hijos?\u201d, le pregunt\u00e9. \u201cEllos ya estudiaron, ya hasta trabajan, son dos varones, empec\u00e9 temprano\u201d, sonri\u00f3. Sonre\u00ed tambi\u00e9n y no quise inmiscuirme m\u00e1s en su vida, con la m\u00eda tengo suficiente. Como est\u00e1bamos obstruyendo el paso en la acera, la invit\u00e9 al parque y sentarnos en una de las bancas, al lado de una parejita pronto actuar, miedosos o sin lana para decidirse ir al motel, eso parec\u00eda.<\/a> \u201c\u00bfAlguna lectura? \u00bfQuieres motivarlo?\u201d, le pregunt\u00e9. \u201cS\u00ed, que se vaya alejando de esas tonter\u00edas\u201d, dijo preocupada. \u201cBien, pero, \u00bfy la escuela?\u201d, la interrogu\u00e9. \u201cAh\u00ed no ha le\u00eddo m\u00e1s que un libro, y eso porque se vio obligado para pasar la materia, ya sabes, la lectura obligatoria\u201d. \u201cS\u00ed, lo s\u00e9\u201d, le dije y\u00e9ndome ya al pasado y recordando mis lecturas de estudiante, unas hechas de caj\u00f3n, otras medianamente disfrutables, porque las lecturas con las que realmente me deleit\u00e9, reflexion\u00e9, imagin\u00e9 y a\u00fan recuerdo fueron las de fuera del programa, extramuros.
Mi amiga quiso aclararme: \u201cS\u00ed, que sean lecturas\u2026\u201d Pero yo la interrump\u00ed diciendo que la cuesti\u00f3n no era f\u00e1cil, sobre todo ahora que la juventud anda ni siquiera de cabeza, porque parece que no tienen, anda como lo que \u00faltimamente ven, zombis\u2026 A insistencia de ella, le coment\u00e9 que le pasar\u00eda una lista de libros que podr\u00edan atrapar al sobrino, pero con la consideraci\u00f3n que ella o los pap\u00e1s tendr\u00edan que indagar sus gustos, para partir de ah\u00ed\u2026 \u201cPor lo pronto que lea El libro de la imaginaci\u00f3n, de Edmundo Valad\u00e9s\u201d, le dije. Y as\u00ed quedamos, d\u00edas despu\u00e9s le pase una lista de lecturas. Eso fue hace dos meses, no he sabido nada de ella, ni del sobrino, mucho menos de los resultados de las lecturas recomendadas.
Hace un rato, mientras en la cama recostado dej\u00e9 a un lado el libro que estoy leyendo, me acord\u00e9 de mi amiga, lo que me llev\u00f3 a recordar que en tiempos universitarios, ella y otros amigos se burlaban de m\u00ed porque yo compraba libros por kilo, lo cual era cierto, gracias al baj\u00edn econ\u00f3mico que le daba a mi padre y de vez en cuando a mi madre, y tambi\u00e9n gracias a que me sacrificaba no comiendo bien, s\u00f3lo bebiendo caf\u00e9 y pan. (Las incursiones et\u00edlicas eran otra cosa). Pero a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, gracias a esos kilos de libros que compr\u00e9 y que le\u00ed poco a poco, puedo darme el gusto, la delicia, el gozo, la alegr\u00eda de recordarlos y volver a ellos, pero, sobre todo, han delineado, de una u otro forma, mi vida, mi pensar, mi sentir, mi imaginaci\u00f3n, mi creatividad, y hoy, precisamente por esos libros, los le\u00eddos a g\u00fcevo y los que he le\u00eddo extramuros, me permiten ser selectivo en mis lecturas, esas con las que ahora converso, con esos libros que est\u00e1n vivos, s\u00f3lo falta que me les acerque y oigo c\u00f3mo me susurran, me ven, me oyen, me hablan, me explican, me aconsejan, me proponen, me gritan, me lastiman, me alegran, me hacen reflexionar, imaginar, crear\u2026
Es como el poema \u201cDon Libro est\u00e1 helado\u201d, de Gloria Fuentes: Estaba el se\u00f1or don Libro\/ Sentadito en su sill\u00f3n,\/ con un ojo pasaba la hoja\/ con el otro ve televisi\u00f3n.\/ Estaba el se\u00f1or don Libro\/ Aburrido en su sill\u00f3n,\/ Esperando a que viniera… (a leerle)\/ Alg\u00fan peque\u00f1o lector.\/ Don Libro era un t\u00edo sabio,\/ que sab\u00eda de luna y de sol,\/ que sab\u00eda de tierras y mares,\/ de historias y aves,\/ de peces de todo color.\/ Estaba el se\u00f1or don Libro,\/ tiritando de fr\u00edo en su sill\u00f3n,\/ vino un ni\u00f1o, lo cogi\u00f3 en sus manos\/ y el libro entr\u00f3 en calor\u201d.
Este 23 de abril se celebra el D\u00eda Mundial del Libro, h\u00e1ganlo todos los d\u00edas, con ese buen amigo: el libro.
Y tambi\u00e9n, el pasado 22 de abril fue el D\u00eda de la Tierra, de esta canica de cristal azul, as\u00ed llamada a partir de una famosa fotograf\u00eda de la Tierra tomada por la tripulaci\u00f3n de la nave espacial Apolo 17.
Pues bien, con Juanes, cantemos \u201cAma la tierra en que naciste\/ \u00e1mala es una y nada m\u00e1s\/ a la mujer que te pari\u00f3\/ \u00e1mala es una y nada m\u00e1s\/ ama tu hermano ama tu raza\/ \u00e1mala es una y nada m\u00e1s\/ ama tu sangre y no la riegues por ah\u00ed\/ \u00e1mala es una y nada m\u00e1s\u201d.
Por lo pronto, ah\u00ed se ven.<\/p>\n

Hasta la pr\u00f3xima<\/p>\n
