Editorial
It has been thousands of years since literature has transformed the world. It
has pleasure and alleviation people trough their lives. Nowadays, literature
is everywhere and every person could become in a writer. Every single
day is an opportunity to communicate ourselves trough writing. The Vegan
Sloth is this place where you can find the most natural and spontaneous
writing. Everyone who took part in this labored project has story behind
every paragraph. We could become writers for one time in life. There were
neither frustrations nor wrong ideas. We were cover with the courage that
forefather writers inherit us a long time ago. We took our time, as the sloth
does when eating or moving. We enjoyed the landscape of our minds, as
the sloth does when seeing nature. We took a walk through the branches
of uncertainty, as the sloth displaces trough the trees. Free writers change
the world being unnoticeable, just like a sloth changes the view. You cannot
know how beautiful can be a sloth until you look on it in detail. In the same
way, everyone should read in detail and discover the fantastic and promising
writing behind a new born writer.

Nature
We used to
be part of it, but not anymore, never grateful of this abandon mother which
gave us everything she had, and we took more.
People give
her a lot of names like “Gaia,” “Pachamama,” or “mother nature;”
I just call her life. But these gray and boring cities have been killing her very slow yesterday, faster today.
I just call her life. But these gray and boring cities have been killing her very slow yesterday, faster today.
The battle
between civilization and nature has never been so raw. Thousands die everyday.
But the roots will stay there at the end.
One day nature is going to take revenge, that’s for sure, and then, all of these building, pillars of the civilization will fall down, and humanity will fade away.

Spaciousness
The
spaciousness of her mind was breathtaking, every single thing would be find a
place in there, however; she preferred to fill it with books, all kind of
books: comic books, novels, fables and so on.
She loved
to spend her days there; away from society, protected by the tall walls of her
mind.
When she
had a problem she fled there. The warm of the books covered her body, giving
her a feeling of security; but the risks of being there were too dangerous. She
could get caged in her own mind, for ever; sadly (or not) that is what
happened.
The walls
that protected her before, now keep her caged. It was too late when she
realized what was happening (or maybe, she didn’t want to do anything)
Now, her
body laid on the bed of a cold hospital, motionless, doesn’t give any signal of
life.
She were
captured by the spaciousness of her mind.

God
God, could someone understand you?
There are so many aspects about You that I can’t understand. Don’t you
think it would be easier to show yourself and fix this world filled of pain and
cruelty? If You did it, everybody would believe in You. Nobody would hate
you nor offend you. You’d be what the whole World needs right now!
God, I still can’t understand you!
But, I realized that it is not about understand you. It is about trust you. This
world full of pain and cruelty is not your fault; it’s ours. Now, I know why you
don’t show yourself and fix everything. If you did it, would be easier and faith
would be nonsense. Everything talks about you, and now I understand that I
shouldn’t see you not with my eyes, but with my heart.

Vermeer’s Painting
It
had been a warm afternoon when the master decided to write a letter to the
mayor just to let him know about all the things that happened some weeks ago.
The master called her most loyal servant just to stay to someone and not
feeling lonely in the quiet room. While she was writing some words, the young
lady was looking at the window, thinking of her freedom instead of being
captured in that house. Every day her biggest desire was to break up to those
chains that keep her prisoner, and live her own life without do what the other
ones wanted. Also, she wanted to stay with her lover, who was the master’s son.
She knew that anyone could understand their love because they are in different
levels on society, that a simple servant must not stay with an important
person. Nevertheless, all nights they gathered at the basement to stay
together. They knew whether someone catches them, they will be in serious
problems, and that the consequences will be death to her and exile to him, but
they were decided to fight to their love. Suddenly, her master coughed and she
jump frightened, looked to her master, but she continued writing. She returned
her sight to the horizon and saw far away the figure of her love, she was
anxious waiting for the night just to see him and share with him.

Mural
I can see through this mural an expresión from a beautiful culture, women dancing and
a man singing, for me all this seems to be some kina of flamenco, because we can´t
avoid seen two man playing their guitar. I wasn´t wrong, it was about flamenco, I could
see this metal plate describing what is this mural about.
I am impress about this mural, it shows many colors and has big images of these people
aplying their talents in music as well the man who has painted this mural. It is
amazingly talented. The faces of the people involved have many expressions, we are
able to appreciate the passion they use to dance, to sing and perform their music and
how satisfied they are about doing what they love. To conclude this mural shows us
how beautiful and exciting flamenco can bve if you focus your attention and try to
appreciate the art that flamenco needs to be a good flamenco. It is amazing how we can have feeling just looking at the mural.

Coffee
How significant is coffee for you? For me its means a lot; it means to have nice and fun time with
my loved ones when we talk about what we have done during the day and tell jokes.it is like a kind
of ritual for us. Coffee for others has been used as a tool, how many great works of literature have
been published thanks to a cup of coffee. Some writers said that everything becomes agitated and
ideas come fast then the rest it is easy.
Coffee has helped to develop a whole country; one example is Costa Rica, one of the best
exporters of coffee.at that time the economy of Costa Rica was based on the exportation of
the’’grano de oro’’that’s the way we call it.
Coffee can be used in many ways as in inspiration, share with your loved ones, business, and many
others. If you have thought that coffee is a simple grain guess what for others means a lot.
