Once again, it is raining, and once again, I feel the urge to go out barefoot, to run through the rain and make paper boats. It seems I still do not understand—or perhaps I simply refuse to grasp—that I no longer have the steadfastness and security of your hand that makes me feel like a child again. And yet, despite this, I cannot forget those rainy days in my hometown when I clung to you, as you held my hand and ran through the rain right there beside me.

There are pains that make us scream, hit, moan, or twist. And they express themselves openly, without conditions or restrictions. Regardless of opinions, criticism, or advice, we only want to eradicate them from our bodies. But there are also pains that are suffered in silence because the bond of love, which physically held us together in an almost perfect personal world, was broken.

I’ve been asked why I’m not posting with the same frequency. Why am I so absent from the various activities in which I like to participate?
A friend of mine told me, “I haven’t seen you for a while. Are you OK? I am asking you that because I see you down, and your eyes lack the intensity of the light with which they used to shine. Remember that you have a very strong potential to achieve what you set out to do, so if you need to cry… cry until you feel better.”
As a child, I learned through observing photos, drawings, geographical charts and reading that we must learn to respect Mother Nature. We must learn to feel love for her and demonstrate that love by taking care of all the natural elements that exist around us.
Siendo un niño aprendí a través de la lectura y observación de fotos, dibujos, cuadros geográficos, que debemos aprender a respetar a la Madre Naturaleza. Sentir Amor por ella y demostrar ese amor a través de cuidar todos los elementos naturales que existen a nuestro alrededor.
A pleasant mix of smells of cinnamon, apple, banana leaves and seasonings coming from the kitchen; interacted harmoniously with the unmistakable smell of fresh pine, recently spread all over the floor of the house, forming the magical CHRISTMAS perfume.
