The Little Black boy by Blake

The mother and Child
Pablo Picasso

How wonderful is when our mother kisses and hugs us. That instant is pure and natural and it is tangible because we can touch and see her and we can feel her love. We will never forget all the moments that we have lived with her.
That’s why I believe that when the little black boy recalled all the instants that he lived with his mother and all the things that she taught him were always in his mind and in his soul, and for that reason when he told his story, he played with the past and the present as they were always together.
Another important aspect is that the mother taught her son about the world and God through nature. For instance, when she said him “Look on the rising sun: there God does live..” she took an instant “ the rising sun” to explain him where God lives. So nature gives as the idea of eternity and divinity due to the fact that God, who is an intangible being, has created it.
