Author and Artist, Mr. Oscar Basurto Carbonell

I contemplated the sky and saw a great expansion, I looked at the horizon and could not find its end; I went near the sea, threw a stone, it sank and I did not know how far down it went. I went up a mountain and saw others that were higher. I looked down and the height made me tremble. I have seen so many distances and infinities that have moved me. How big is the all! How vast is the universe, how deep and complex! But when I look inside, meaning, in the inner silence, that universe that seemed so big, in a mysterious way, becomes small.
There is something bigger than what is big, deeper than what is deep; and it is no outside, but inside of each one of us, I think that it is the beginning of something that cannot be expressed with words, that goes beyond words, that is able to unite the all and the nothing. And it is like a wonderful brightness. Then, I realize that it is not inside, that it is not outside but that it is everywhere.
