Entre Camus y Kerouac...

...la tierra, yo. Yo y la tierra. Los principios. El principio.

For years i've wanted to live according to everyone else's morals. 
I've forced myself to live like everyone else, 
to look like everyone else. 
I said what was necessary to join together, 
even when I felt separate. 
And after all of this, 
catastrophe came (...)
Albert Camus
I am my mother’s son.    
All other identities are artificial and recent. Naked, basic, actually, I am my mother’s son.    
I emerged from her womb and set out on this earth.   
The earth gave me another identity, that of name, personality, appearance, character, and spirit.    
The earth is my grandmother; I am the earth’s grandson.    
The way I comb my hair today has nothing to do with myself, who am my mother’s son and the earth’s grandson.    
I am put on this earth to prove that I am my mother’s son.     
I am also on this earth, my grandmother, to be her spokesman, in my chosen and natural way.    
The earth owns the least to myself; she shall take me back, and my mother too.    
We have proven the earth’s truth and meaning, which is, simply life and death.
Jack Kerouac
