“Las olas, anchas y planas, se sucedían monótonas una tras otra. En las cercanías, lo que parecía un castillo y un promontorio con villas majestuosas; al frente, un océano casi tan grande como mi desazón. Me senté en la arena a contemplarlo y, con la vista concentrada en el vaivén de la espuma, perdí la noción del tiempo y me fui dejando llevar. Cada ola trajo consigo un recuerdo, una estampa del pasado: memorias de la joven que un día fui, de mis logros y temores, de los amigos que dejé atrás en algún lugar del tiempo; escenas de otras tierras, de otras voces. Y sobre todo, el mar me trajo aquella mañana sensaciones olvidadas entre los pliegues de la memoria: la caricia de una mano querida, la firmeza de un brazo amigo, la alegría de lo compartido y el anhelo de lo deseado.”

“At times I think of human relationships as something soft like sand or water, and by pouring them into particular vessels we give them shape. So a mother’s relationship with her daughter is poured into a vessel marked ‘mother and child’, and the relationship takes the contours of its container and is held inside there, for better or worse. Maybe some unhappy friends would have been perfectly contented as sisters, or married couples as parents and children, who knows. But what would it be like to form a relationship with no preordained shape of any kind? Just to pour the water out and let it fall. I suppose it would take no shape, and run off in all directions.”
