Recently, in the context of a work-related project, I met a man for the first time to talk about education of adults in a certain community. That was, I thought, the only topic of our conversation, but suddenly he began to talk about spiritual issues and, more specifically, about the “love of God”.…

¿Podemos ser intolerantes contra la intolerancia?
Recientemente me encontré con un hombre, a quien hasta ese momento yo no conocía, para hablar de un proyecto de educación para adultos. Aunque creía que la educación era el único tema del encuentro, la conversación comenzó a enfocarse en temas espirituales y específicamente en el “amor de Dios”.…
Some questions reveal much more than just ignorance
Francisco Miraval
I recently met a person who, after asking me if he could ask me a question, almost immediately shared his question. He asked, “What do you think is the best way to end poverty in the world?
There is, of course, no chance in this universe (and probably none in any other parallel u…
Hay preguntas que revelan mucho más que sólo ignorancia
Recientemente alguien se acercó y me pidió permiso para hacerme una pregunta. Casi sin esperar permiso, esta persona me preguntó: ¿Cuál cree usted que es la mejor manera de terminar con la pobreza en el mundo?

I didn’t know the Star Wars’ Stormtroopers spoke
Francisco Miraval

Francisco Miraval
I recently heard the story of a man in Denver who was about to eat a one-dollar hamburger when he got a phone call. He decided to first eat the hamburger and then return the call.
After eating the hamburger, he listened to the voice mail and he heard the familiar voice of his busin…
Los peligros de comer una hamburguesa a destiempo
Recientemente escuché la historia de un hombre en la ciudad en la que vivo que recibió un llamado telefónico justo en el momento que estaba a punto de comerse una hamburguesa de esas que se compran por un dólar. Por eso, decidió no responder al llamado.
Terminada la hamburguesa, escuchó el mens…

¿Quién soy yo, el de antes o el de ahora?
Francisco Miraval
Reencontrarse con alguien a quien uno no veía desde hace muchos años tienen el peculiar efecto de reencontrarse no sólo con aquella persona, sino también con uno mismo como uno era en aquellos años. De allí la pregunta del título: ¿quién soy yo, el de antes o el de ahora? Y la res…
