Entre la Luna y la Ciudad de Nueva York / Between the Moon and New York CityToday is a cold and cloudy afternoon here in I remember when I learned that I had been awarded with one of the four fellowships of the Dag Hammarsjkold Fund and that I would travel to He, as well my parents and my sister, always believed in me. That time I was sad because it seemed that he was not going to be able to travel with me. The work, the construction we are doing at home, and the cost complicated the possibility of his trip. But it all began to fit into place. And finally he arrives this afternoon! Since I came to Even I bought him some things I knew He will love: magazines, books, books of photos (including a special of Sports Illustrated, he takes the most gorgeous photos of models). The most marvelous of all, he will be present at the luncheon that the board of the Dag is organizing for the fellow! His presence in this important event is so special for me. Able to share this wonderful adventure with him is surely the best moment of this whole trip!! ... Recuerdo que cuando supe que me habían otorgado una de las becas de
Sobre todo que él, además de mis padres y hermanas, siempre creyó en mí. Sin embargo todo comenzó a encajar en su lugar. Y finalmente llega esta tarde! Desde que llegué a Nueva York pensaba en cada instante lo mucho que disfrutaríamos juntos los dos acá. Cuando iba a comer a algún restaurante apuntaba la dirección para luego regresar con él. Incluso le compré algunas cosas que sabía le iban a encantar: revistas, libros, libros de fotos (incluyendo un especial de Sports Illustrated, él toma unas fotos magníficas a las modelos). Lo más maravilloso de todo es que estará presente en el almuerzo que los de la fundación nos están organizando!!! Su presencia es ese momento tan importante para mí será muy especial.

"Our work for peace must begin within the private world of each one of us. To search for meaning in a world without fear, we must be without fear. To build aworld of justice, we must be just. And how can we fight for liberty if we are not free in our own minds? How can we ask others to sacrifice if we are not ready to do so?" ----Dag Hammarskjöld |
