On this episode, the voice unadorned speaking of the abyss behind me, inspired by two powerful Spanish documentaries, Pico Reja and A Las Mujeres de España, and a quote from one of them by a writer named Rosa Montero who said:
Women have always had to start from scratch because they've not had the testimony of women before them. And that's a terrible disgrace. Because culture is a palimpsest. We all build on what was built before. So if you always have an abyss behind you…~ Rosa Montero, translated from Spanish, quoted in A las mujeres de España. María Lejárraga
The quote moved me into starting a 13 day blog series: 13 Days of the Abyss Behind me. 13 because I've always liked that number, especially as an age. Read the text at shebanacoelho.com/blogcast.
This is Part one of the Abyss, Days One to Eight. My hope is that one story inspires another, that the abyss, being spoken, becomes a bridge, a way to connect.
