Thank you, Lina. With my one verb tense in Spanish, that translation is beyond me – to do, not to read. This is a lovely gift.
You're welcome – though it was a gift for me to do it; to translate such beautiful words and, in a way, manipulate them, touch them, re-arrange them, and re-create them. If anything, I should be the one thanking you.
