"Drawing near to love against the light." To celebrate Pride, HEREU invites writer Pol Guasch to share a reflection on love, desire and the paths we choose to follow. Through this passage from Napalm al Cor (2021), Pol Guasch reflects on the persistence of desire and the refusal of perfect clarity. "Blindness comes from darkness or from an excess of light. While writing Napalm, I imagined two boys following an indistinct glow in the distance. The closer they came, the less they could see. Yet they sensed that love, promise and rest awaited them there. This phrase reminds me of the persistence of desire and the refusal of perfect clarity: we do not need to see everything to know where we are going. This is my wish." — Postcard photographed by Laia Sabaté at L’Estany de Montcortès, Lleida, Catalunya. #HEREU
