A Poem from Heather Gelb


Under the Tree

Supine on a spherical covering
Of buttery flowery petals,
I gaze up through the feathery branches
Of a flowering tree,
Each twisting branch sculpted from a
Solid center and reaching towards a light
I can still see when I close my eyes to hear
The soothing hum of bees that fill the spaces
Between the ephemeral and the enduring.
Beyond the bee song I hear
The light tread of gazelle leaping through
A nearby field, finding space between
The stalks of golden grain . . .
And still the golden petals rain down,
Released by the light touch
Of dancing bees.
I am aware of a slow mounting marvel
That fills the spaces between
The holy and the mundane.



Heather Gelb grew up in Colorado and Ohio before leaping off to distant hills in Africa then Israel.  She is an aspiring writer, poet, yoga instructor, tap dancer, banjo player, holistic nutritionist, world traveler and long distance runner who is raising her five children among the Judean hills in a house that her husband built.  Heather Gelb feels most fulfilled leaping from hilltop to hilltop as she writes in her published memoir about her journey from Rwanda to Israel:  https://www.amazon.com/Hilltop-My-Path-Rwanda-Israel/1937623076  Her poetry has been published in such diverse works as Poetica Publishing, Deronda Review, Green Panda Press, Pyrokinection, Dead Snakes and NatureWriting.

  4. En este contexto, los candidatos de los partidos de siempre, contaminados también por las manifestaciones que escuchan a su alrededor, buscan una marca blanca con la que lavar la mala fama que arrastra la marca comercial que les amparaba hasta ahora. Algunos todavía se autoengañan con teorías trasnochadas sobre el voto oculto, especialmente el PP, pero desde hace meses, los estrategas y demoscópicos de los dos principales partidos saben que “el voto vergonzante, el que se esconde, ya no tiene el peso del pasado. Mi hipótesis es que la gente no dice que va a votar a PP y PSOE porque realmente no lo van a hacer. Desde las elecciones europeas vimos que no había tanta diferencia entre intención de voto directa y lo que luego ocurrió, y en las elecciones andaluzas confirmamos que la intención directa y sin cocina era la más próxima a la realidad”, explica uno de los estadísticos próximo a los socialistas.



    “El PP hasta ahora era una buena marca con candidatos mediocres. Esta es la primera vez en la que la marca es peor que sus candidatos. De ahí que los barones autonómicos estén tratando de borrarse el tatuaje PP del brazo. En eso están Monago o Feijóo entre cientos de dirigentes”, reconoce uno de los asesores de Génova. Aunque el ejemplo perfecto es el de la lideresa Esperanza Aguirre, que ha logrado hacer de su nombre una marca antagónica al PP de Rajoy, a pesar de la lista de corruptos que han crecido a su sombra.



    En los últimos meses, las marcas jóvenes están marcando el paso. Gozan de liderazgos potentes -Iglesias y Rivera- y votantes que les publicitan. Declarar el voto a uno de los dos nuevos conlleva el placer añadido de soltar una coz a los tradicionales. Conscientes de la situación, candidatos como Ángel Gabilondo han pillado al vuelo que la marca blanca es un activo. El manifiesto Sí a Gabilondo, con el que 300 intelectuales respaldan su candidatura a la comunidad de Madrid incidiendo en su independencia, es una muestra. El director creativo y fundador de la agencia de publicidad Sra. Rushmore, responsable de la campaña más innovadora de Zapatero, tiene claro que “es difícil luchar contra la fuerza del voto ilusionante, por eso se cacarea tanto. Hay dos partidos nuevos que hacen que la gente exprese su apoyo sin necesidad de preguntar. Lo que no va a funcionar igual es ocultar la marca, porque los candidatos están irremediablemente asociados a sus siglas”.



    “La imagen del PP es tan potente, que por mucho que lo intenten algunos, es complicado jugar a ocultarla con éxito”, reflexiona el diputado popular Gabriel Elorriaga sobre los intentos de ciertos colegas de tomar distancia de lo que representa Génova. Y es que la confirmación de Rajoy de que volverá a ser candidato ha puesto aún más nerviosos a los que se examinan en mayo. “La ventaja del PSOE respecto al PP es que ya hemos afrontado la renovación del discurso y de las caras, pero en el PP no lo han hecho todavía, y la intervención de Rajoy diciendo que se presenta no hace más que aplazar la renovación pendiente”, dice Soraya Rodríguez, ex portavoz del PSOE.



    No solo los votantes no ocultan su voto, sino que parece que algunas de sus señorías dejan de estar ciegos ante la realidad y son capaces de asumir el coste general que para la clase política -entendiendo por clase política a los que se sientan en el hemiciclo- tiene el continuismo del sexagenario Rajoy. “Me pateo la calle en Cataluña y siento que la gente está harta de nosotros. Me lo dice todo el mundo. La corrupción y la crisis económica han quemado a PP, PSOE y CiU sobre todo”, añade Josep Sánchez Llibre, diputado sénior de CiU.

    La quiebra de las siglas ha dejado desnudos a candidatos tan alcanforados como Rita Barberá o León de la Riva, el alcalde de Valladolid, a los que ni su propio partido es capaz de desalojarles a pesar de ser un lastre y la antítesis de lo que se lleva esta primavera-verano
