Eyes of truth
It is said that a man's eyes are the mirror to his soul. Hatred, deceit, sorrow, kindness. They all show through a man's eyes.
Good friend and artist Pat Texidor felt compelled to sketch the following likeness of Cuban Journalist Guillermo Fariñas who went on a hunger strike for freedom of information:
You will notice his emaciated physique, a product of his will and determination to starve himself for what he believes in. But despite the frailty of his body, his eyes tell a different story: an unimaginable strength. A strength of knowing. A strength of conviction. A strength of righteousness.
Gracias, Pat. For capturing the essence of this man with the courage to give his life for what he believes in.
Today's must read is at Texidor Blog.
And please, dont forget to sign the petition for Mr. Fari
(I also urge you all to visit Texidor Fine Art and enjoy Pat's other fine works. Any one of his pieces would be perfect company for that one lonely bare wall in you home.)
