I am of the tribe of Judah
ROSITA KALINA (COSTA RICA, 1932-2005)
I am of the tribe of Judah. That of my grandparents and great-grandparents. That of Solomon, of Jesus and Einstein. Not to mention Freud whose valuable Kabalistic secret leaped to the therapist’s chair. I don’t forgive the thousands of Holocausts that in the name of false truths were devised against my people, against other extremely old peoples, wiser than the law of the powerful. I am horrified by the man who takes part in religious wars. That we are one in the immense ship Mother Earth, that transports to unlimited dimensions. 58
That we all breathe a like destiny. I am universal. Simply a woman who dares to dream of a brotherhood of souls and of wings. Precisely because of my origin, I well understand the sadness of others brought down by color or angle of eyes. Let the era of man come, marvelous being who populates existence! In him, I see as unique, unrepeatable, my pride of being a woman. I also love the animal and the plants that live my solitudes. I am Jewish. Smooth up to the caress. Loving up to ecstasy.
