Crossing

-by Luis Fernando Gutiérrez Tagarro-

You are always looking for me, happy. No matter the time, only the space: the narrow valley squeezed between steep mountains, the ascent along the narrow path winding through the ravines that draw your gaze to the bottom of the abyss... If only the time would stop....
...You feel intensely: the gentle breeze that gives you the scent of the bushes around you, the sounds of the stream flowing by
crystalline between the overhanging rocks, the changes of light cast by a sky of capricious clouds...
...Daydreaming that isolates you from the world and makes you nobody, that opens the pores of your soul while feelings and sensations merge: time ceases to make sense...
...To ascend, to breathe... You look for me on the summits, in the forest that awaits you behind the pass; then you will contemplate me lying on that meadow of soft grass that caresses your tiredness and rocks you. Magic that invades you... that always awaits you.
