Dear Naty,
You come to my memory with your delicate and magical hands, painting that map of our region, where you captured, with lively and cheerful colours, the places where our libraries have been setting up. It is very nice to know how to draw with so much detail the shapes, edges and ups and downs of our land.
You place with such vehemence a Rural Library that I have even allowed myself to see the family that will sow more knowledge in their community. I think of the children running in the fields, the butterflies flying day by day, the sun warming everyone without distinction and the books around the fire, wrapped in the warmth of home that only a few know how to give.
You paint the colours with such precision that they invite my imagination to enjoy the sacred mountains, valleys and rivers of our beautiful sierra. I rejoice to think of the roads and the wanderings of men and women, saddlebag on shoulder, carrying books to their sister communities to exchange, converse, greet each other, miss each other, as Alfredo used to say.
Thank you for being by our side, for allowing us to get to know you a little more through your art, creativity and commitment. It is nice to know that we are accompanied by special people like you.
A big, fraternal and grateful hug.
