The Whisper of the Volcano: When the Earth Remembers its Children
There is a silence that precedes knowledge, a void of meaning that dwells in the most familiar places. For Mateo, a young farmer from Comala, Colima, that silence had the shape of the horizon. Every dawn, as he went out to the furrows of his cornfield, his gaze met, immutable and powerful, the silhouette of the Volcano of Fire. It was not a landscape; it was a mute life companion, a sleeping giant whose breath was the wind that rocked the corn cobs. He had seen it roar, spewing orange fumaroles in the distance; he had seen it covered in an improbable white mantle in December. But the volcano, to Mateo, was a geographical fact, a datum of the territory like the river or the hill. Until the silence broke, and the earth began to speak to him.
