Interview with Víctor Corcoba Herrero: Exploring the Spiritual Climate of November
Time.news Editor: Thank you for joining us today, Víctor Corcoba Herrero. Your writings often delve into themes that blend spirituality and nature. As we embrace the spiritual climate of November, could you share your thoughts on how this month influences our collective consciousness?
Víctor Corcoba Herrero: Thank you for having me. November is indeed a profound time, steeped in traditions like the communion of saints and remembering our predecessors. It encourages reflection on our mortality and what lies beyond, stimuli to connect with the eternal through nature and verse.

Víctor Corcoba Herrero: In my work, I often draw on the duality of our existence—our earthly lives and our spiritual aspirations. The idea of being “destroyed of the earth, but clothed with heaven” encapsulates this. It serves as a reminder that while we may face physical demise, our spiritual essence yearns for beauty, expressed through poetic language and the collective memory of those who have come before us.

When we engage with poetry during November’s reflective atmosphere, we tap into a desire for understanding and connection. It nurtures our souls, bridging the gap between the living and the departed.
Time.news Editor: In a world increasingly disconnected from spiritual and natural experiences, what practical advice can you offer readers this November?
Víctor Corcoba Herrero: I encourage readers to embrace the spiritual climate of this month by engaging in daily reflections. Take time to remember loved ones who have passed and honor their memories through journaling or creatively expressing your thoughts in poetry. Connecting with nature—whether through a walk in the falling leaves or simply sitting in silence—can also deepen this experience. Allow these moments to inspire you, fostering a sense of beauty in both life and death.
Time.news Editor: That’s very insightful, Víctor. what impact do you envision poetry can have on our collective emotional and spiritual state during these darker months?
Víctor Corcoba Herrero: Poetry can profoundly illuminate our emotional landscape. In the darkness of November, it serves as a beacon of light, encouraging introspection and understanding. It allows us to confront our fears and celebrate the beauty of life’s transience. This process is crucial for individual and collective healing, fostering a shared recognition of our humanity and spiritual interconnectedness.
