From the Editor #20

"If for an instant God were to forget that I am a rag doll and gifted me with a piece of life, possibly I wouldn't say all that I think, but rather I would think of all that I say.

I would value things, not for their worth but for what they mean. 

I would sleep little, dream more, understanding that for each minute we close our eyes we lose sixty seconds of light. 

I would walk when others hold back, I would wake when others sleep. 

I would listen when others talk, and how I would enjoy a good chocolate ice cream! 

If God were to give me a piece of life, I would dress simply, throw myself face first into the sun, baring not only my body but also my soul. 

My God, if I had a heart, I would write my hate on ice and wait for the sun to show.  Over the stars I would paint with a Van Gogh dream a Benedetti poem, and a Serrat song would be the serenade I'd offer to the moon."

Last words of Gabriel García Márquez
