'Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there. It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away. The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime.'Ray Bradbury - Fahrenheit 451

Porque nuestra labor...
...a menudo es dura y parece no rendir frutos inmediatos.
...otras veces requiere de algo más que creatividad:magia!
...de vez en cuando nos roba horas de sueño y relax!!!
...pero también,otras tantas veces, nos llena el alma de satisfacción y del placer de saber que un poco de nosotros sigue el viaje por diferentes caminos y que incluso seguirá viviendo después que nosotros.
En este día a los que nos dedicamos a dar lo mejor:¡Muchas felicidades!
Con mucho cariño,
Nora Gelsi.
