My kind of auto-reply

A friend and poet comrade on leave from his academic job this year signs his auto reply (after the obligatory "I'm on leave" notice), with the following statement. Just what I want to say!

"In these times of individual or state terror and bombings, of suicide attacks and massive killings in Israel and Palestine, in Afghanistan and Iraq, let's make sure we cultivate plants and smell their flowers; make sure we laugh all the time with children, learning to be kind to people even the ones we don't know yet. Let's choose Don Quijote, César Vallejo, Lorca, or Baudelaire over the Bible, the Torah, or the Koran; let's choose Gandhi, Madre Teresa or Martin L. King over Bin Laden, Toni Blair or G.W. Bush. Let's drink wine to clean our bodies and read poetry every day to clean our soul. Let's give without hoping for anything in return, let's be our own selves, and search for peace building it relentlessly. My friend, these are hollow days of imperialistic belligerence and patriotic mania. We need more books and schools, more hugs and guitars; not more soldiers or bombs, not more executioners or lies. Prosit!"
