Krisis with a K

Pau Gasol and Michael Jordan in NBA (Basketball), and Unicef, Doctors Without Borders and UNICEF. “(…) When all the students were sitting at their desks they breathed calmly. George slowly unzipped his school bag. He took out his books. Then, he sat up and raised his hand to open the large window on his left. He glanced at the school yard. Some students were practicing basketball tactics on the basketball court. George imagined seeing Michael Jordan and coach Dean Smith teaching Pau Gasol tricks. Years after the wing-pivot of impossible blocks and dunks from Barcelona flew over the Atlantic ocean to become a star in the NBA paving the way to his brother Marc, Calderon, Ricky and Ibaka… today Pau with the Harlem Globetrotters, like the Unicef and Doctors Without Borders volunteers, continued with his friend Jordan and the Looney Tunes on a charitable tour throughout a new galaxy, Solidarity. (Page 66)

Walt Disney and the childlike boldness. “(…) –The sun! –Rosa stretched her hand, longing for having her son by her side. But the brake was too late because George had taken advantage of the carpet laid by courage. The child had removed, without knowing it, the first veil to the mystery of the human evolution: he understood that boldness was a valuable gift. Because audacity –an impulse that guided cartoonist Walt Disney through his creations at the school where he drew his first doodles in 1910– becomes in the course of our lives the courage that sharpens your wits and curiosity in order to open new doors. What does your soul need to feel such happiness? Do you want to find it? George’s adventures contain valuable experiences and keys that you may live throughout these pages. How can we find them? Do you want to know it? Sure? (Page 15)

Vicente Ferrer, ‘Mensajeros de la Paz’ and Pedro Arrupe. “(…)As he had experienced so much in such a short period of time George shared communion in retreats and nyntüm. He knew about the Jewish Sanhedrin and the Catholic synods. He met faithful followers of Henry Dunant at the Red Cross, of Teresa de Calcuta and Vicente Ferrer, Chiara Lubich and father Angel at Mensajeros de la Paz, Tagore, Gandhi and Lanza del Vasto, Saint Germain, La Ferrière, Leadbeater, Stanislav Grof and Eckhart Tolle, Erich Fromm, Sondra Ray, Conny Méndez. He also mastered Osho’s meditations. He was introduced to a Sephardic follower of Erasmus exiled in Sofia and Jesuits who were friends of Pedro Arrupe in the mutilated city of Hiroshima. (Page 238)

The Harlem Globetrotters: Universal Solidarity. “(…) When all the students were sitting at their desks they breathed calmly. George slowly unzipped his school bag. He took out his books.

Onassis Foundation. “(…) One afternoon the band had a rest at a guesthouse before playing at an event in Santa Pola. The lad who ran the telephone switchboard told them about his projects. The Onassis family of Greek origin knew pretty well the ins and outs of the tobacco business. He was convinced that he was guided by a blind fate in the ocean of life, Aris revealed his dreams that seemed facts in his mind. Aris, named after the legendary philosopher Aristóteles Sócrates had an eminent, enviable, cunning intelligence. He wore spectacles. While the musicians were checking out the ambitious suntanned receptionist told them that one day he would be owning an entire empire. –Willpower and appearance dominate the world. You’ll hear people speak about my fortune soon! – He roared with laughter showing his bright white teeth. (Page 74)
