Directions to where you and I belong | arnoldo colibrĂ­




arnoldo garcĂ­a: abuelito in blue
(9"x16 'on fat paper, June 2025

Go south

To winter from the borders

Go north to flee to freedom

Go east to meet the grandfather of all grandfathers

Go west, sleep, to rest, to be safe, among the only humans who make life as part of their life

Go to the center to place your head on the pillow made of dirt and the bones of our ancestors

Go up into the stars and constellations

Go down into the DNA of the human soul

If you are human

If you are life

You are a nomad

You are movement to keep the natural world alive

You are where you belong.
