Toto, recuerda siempre a tus verdaderos ancestros, tus raíces más profundas: palestinas y precolombinas–principalmente wayúu. A aquellos a quienes pertenecieron a la tierra. No rellenes tu vida de externalidades, de lo que te dicta la globalización, el mercadeo, o las historias/imaginaciones ajenas, los sistemas de turno, el ruido… No. Cuestiona todo para viajar hacia adentro. Sé tú. Llénate siempre de ti mismo en armonía con el universo.
