Unveiling the Soul in a Spiritual Retreat

During my most recent spiritual retreat last weekend, we shared an experience that, for me, was a defining moment.

Most Cubans find it impossible to understand why rod or line fishing requires authorization, especially in today’s Cuba…

The first Cuban nuclear power plant was a project coordinated with the former USSR. It began taking shape in the 1980s.

I totally understood the Captain. It happened to me. It happens, almost surely, to many men and women in today’s Cuba. It’s a reality.

I’m still deeply interested in remaining culturally Cuban, fully aware of the weight that the word “culture” carries.

In fact, when we stop seeing each other, the first thing we think is that the person has probably already left the island.

My relationship with Brazilian culture was always more or less the same as most Cubans have, influenced by what I saw in the soap operas.

The deterioration of movie theaters in Cuba is a shared sorrow. In Havana, my city, the sadness overtakes you when you least expect it…

I have always heard it’s good to have an aquarium with tropical fish. It can be an honorable hobby, a pastime with an artistic touch…

If we were to recount the things that have changed here in Havana since the pandemic, we could make a long list.
