A people without grace, ours
Some times outraged, others praised Gabriel, wrote about fifty years ago: “My grace is Aresti.” Looking at the Bilbao estuary, the poet said that this was the grace of baptism: Recently. Perhaps I read Xenpelar from Rentería, who had sung everywhere: “Mari Bentura is graceful” to identify a young woman. Or, to the Ayesta of Zeberio, who referred to himself in an old copy of the Library of Auspoa: “Lino Ayesta, data in my grace.”
Today you hear the question “How do you call yourself?” in reference to that of Baptistery. But people and things aren't called. We call, we name, we do. There's nothing proper to anyone's name. That is something we have given him. And how important it is to realize that it is not a neutral and aseptic action to give a varnish – grace – of the name to no one or nothing.
What worries me is that I think that our people have not been able to convey their grace completely, and I believe that at home they also have more of a problem with their thanks, their names, their names.
After Christmas, it is time to recognize that we are asking for a champagne to a company in Penedès: six bottles to send them home. We ask them to send us all the bottles labeled in Catalan, because they offer it on their website. The truth is, we asked them for champagne because, even if they don't know the wine, the label was written exclusively in Catalan.
I think that our people have not been able to convey their grace completely, and I believe that at home too there is more of a problem with their thanks, their names, their names.
The Catalans sent us their pressed grapes, in bottles filled with bottles of excellent labeling in Catalan... To a place of Vizcaya, but... We told them that there was no such space between us for a long time. For this purpose, please invoke the champagne to the territory officially recognised as Bizkaia.
Well, no. He didn't even answer. In the lists of place-names only "uvea" -- in the end, sparkling wine and receipt were sent to us in a Basque country. A good wine. Lots of vinegar, bill.
“Exterior, you know. They’ve already done a lot,” they told me at home. Have you done enough? Here's my doubt. And not the only one ...
Bizkaia, Basque Country... Is it that we do and do enough to banish and bring to the world our own grace?
What do we do, what do we accept, what do we accept? Do we not need a group, a lobby, for the Basques to pass on our own: products, names?
Businesses and entities that do mailings, both local and non-local, must be aware of our grace. Even if it is not enough, if we Basques do not influence it...

The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
