The Gift of the Gods: The Wheel

Truth, both lost and found, elusive yet imposing, intelligible or transparent, resides everywhere and yet nowhere, etching the history of humanity and all that came before it. The pilgrimage in pursuit of that truth shaped the peoples, allowing them to find within their memories, histories, and tales the way to embrace pasts, presents, and futures in an ever-ascending spiral. Many labeled these narratives as myths, and as darkness spread across the world in the guise of impositions and established powers, they were stored away and delegitimized. The survival of these narrated and variously transmitted consciousnesses are now living cries, countercultural and transgressive, that invoke the need to reclaim the diverse paths leading us to truths, lost and hidden right under our noses. Thousands of years later, Edgar Sarcós beckons us to turn our gaze to the perpetual exodus of the human being, to find oneself and one's truths in the stories crafted. He does so with the urgency of someone who still believes that it's possible to retrieve the purity and holistic essence of the human being through coherent actions. "The situation and conditions in which we (...) have had to live have meaning and a 'reason'; it is the world before us that offers the opportunity to overcome difficulties," he conveys, as his pen glides through the daily labyrinths. In The Gift of the Gods, Sarcós provides us with important clues and essential keys that may guide us to rediscover the meaning of life. Is this Edgar Sarcós' path? No, it is our path, and we must continue to tread it, for life still owes us that gift from the gods
