Road between mountains

-by Francisco Blázquez Martínez-

I walk absorbedly along the mountainside, between pines, olive and almond trees. I try to recover my lost sense of smell, while the cool breeze accompanies my faithful companion Canela and the person, who now calmly watches the whiter clouds pass by.

I remember the Banderas mountain in front of my old house and I think aloud, how lucky I have been, to manage the greens, in the tangle.

Life spent between two mountains, curiosity maintained in glimpsing the other valley, behind the Albarda peak.

Admiring how the fig tree I planted on the slopes of the holm oak grove has grown. Not in a hurry to reach the highest peak. The important thing is to walk, reaching the height but also descending towards the plain.

I walk from the thicket to the forest.
