It is hard to be invisible, but some have to. There exist human beings that, within seconds, must grab all their belongings and move to a different physical location. Where they are and to where they will move is uncertain, and movement is a consistent necessity. The land is not legally theirs, but still they sleep, eat, defecate, wash — live — in that space; and they are prepared to fight for that which does not belong to them, yet is otherwise ignored by so many of us. This may sounds like a sad, poor, sickening story—and it is—but, at the same time, it is the complete opposite; because their smiles and humility are etched into a memory and the richness within their souls is rapidly infectious. That is a reality, and that is THE only reality of many in Venezuela, in Latin America, in the World.
