MAWU ANTHU ATATU MMODZI: KUjambula
Ndidabadwira ntchito zitatu: wopenta, womenya ng'ombe ndi kuphika; kujambula kumakonzedwa ngati komwe munthu angapiteko. Kulimbana ndi ng'ombe kunali masewera anga aubwana komanso unyamata, osanyengerera koma kuti ndikwaniritse ntchito yanga yachiwiri. Kuchokera mu 1942 mpaka 1957 ndidapita ku Republic yaku Mexico ndikufunafuna mwayi wopeza nawo nawo nkhandwe, capeas ndi ndewu zamatauni; M'misonkhanoyi ndidapeza gawo lakuya kwambiri lachinsinsi, lomwe, potenga nawo gawo pazachipembedzo chazikhalidwe, lidathandizira chisangalalo cha zikondwerero zomwe zimadziwika ndi anthu aku Mexico: mabwalo okongoletsera ndi mabwalo ang'onoang'ono okongoletsedwa ndi zikopa zaku China, Kumene mungapume fungo la khola ndi pulque. Gulu la tawuni, ndi anthu ena ofowoka ndipo ena modabwitsa chifukwa chanyimbo, adalengeza pasodobles ndikulimbikitsa omenyera ng'ombe, ndimasowa bwanji!
Munali mu 1935 ndipo ndidapeza ntchito yanga yoyamba ku Tampico ndili ndi zaka khumi ndi chimodzi: mnyamata wakhitchini pamalo odyera a kampani yamafuta ku England ya El Águila, tsopano ndi PEMEX. Ndinali wokondwa monga wophunzira kuphika, chifukwa ndidamvera chikhumbo changa chachitatu chaukadaulo. Pamenepo ndidapeza chiyambi cha chilichonse, chisangalalo chokhala ndi moyo wamatsenga wopitilira muyeso womwe ndi khitchini; chimanyamula china chake kapena zinsinsi zambiri, chimalumikizidwa ndi chinthu chofunikira cha munthu yemwe kuyambira pachiyambi ali ndi Mawu, chifukwa mu mneni muli mawu ndi mawu chinsinsi, komanso momwe amapangira ntchito - khitchini ya kupyola motero moto - kuwotcha, titero kunena kwake, zonunkhira, zonunkhira, mitundu ndi kapangidwe ka zinthu zomwe Mulungu amalenga ndikukhala padziko lapansi, m'madzi ndi mlengalenga. Chidziwitso chomwe chinandikhazika maziko oti ndichite chikhalirebe ndi moyo, osati moyo koma wamoyo, m'malo osatha pomwe kukongola kwa moyo kumaonekera kwamuyaya. Moyo umawonetsedwa kuti pophika umasinthidwa kuti udyetse thupi, ndipo mophiphiritsira kuphika umasinthidwa kuti udyetse mzimu.
Maitanidwe anga atatu adangokhala amodzi: kupenta; Eya, mutu wankhani wamphongo wakhala ukuchitika mobwerezabwereza pantchito yanga yojambula ndikuphika kunandipatsa ndikupitilizabe kundipatsa chisangalalo chakupanga ndikusangalala. Ntchito yanga yojambula ndi yojambula ndiyophika padera.
