Whom do I thank
For my failed achievements?
Why does the cup of my desires
Never occupy
The dreamt-of concavity?
I can invert my look
Like the reflection of a silvery moon
Spreading a creative light,
Opening horizons I aspire to,
Rediscovering the ‘for others.’
The sun illuminates my soul
Reflecting golden rays
As I discover
That I have emptied myself giving…

BLUE LIGHT (Luz Azul)
This book is their most recent collaboration, Fernando as a poet, Rafael as a draftsman, with a production that has been giving informally for the last 21 years or so. Each one in their own field, and in this book they have gathered their “notes” on different topics in relation to the internal experience and in two separate media. Both artists draw their inspiration from the experience contained in “Silo’s message”, a spiritual path based in the search for meaning in life, overcoming suffering and finding transcendence in the depths of the mind. This book is an account of that experience.
