INVOLUCRARSE
"Cuando no haces nada, te sientes abrumado e impotente.
Pero cuando te involucras, sientes la sensaciĆ³n de esperanza y logro que proviene de saber que estĆ”s trabajando para mejorar las cosas".
-Albert Einstein

The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

El extranjero que reside entre vosotros os será como ciudadano entre vosotros; Amarás al extranjero como a ti mismo, porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en la tierra de Egipto. Yo soy el Señor vuestro Dios. Levítico 19:34

The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
