Estos helechos los traje de la provincia de Misiones, en Argentina, en un viaje que hice hace 38 años, tenía 17, toda la vida juntando plantas, estas de la selva.
A Misiones llegué porque en Buenos Aires había quedado en ir a bailar con una amiga que me encantaba, Lucrecia G., luego de nuestro arreglo la madre dispuso un traslado a esa provincia, ella me llamo excusándose que no podría, yo: que igual iríamos, ella: que estaría muy lejos, que cómo, yo: que mañana salgo, y así fue, a la mañana, mi padre que en un principio me quería “matar” me acercó con un taxi a la terminal de Retiro de trenes, 36 horas de viaje me esperaban.
La cosa que el sábado fuimos a bailar.
Me hospedé en lo de Freddy Tauren si mal no recuerdo el apellido o mal lo escribo, a la semana se fue mi amiga, me quedé 45 días, una gente maravillosa, una situación humana nueva y encantadora.
Debí volver pues mi padre empezó a complicarse del corazón, el medico me habló, un gran amigo nuestro, Gabino Peláez, que volviera, éramos muy apegados con papá, volví, se recuperó y disfrutamos siete años más de felicidad.
Todo eso es ese helecho y mucho más que podría contar, que por ahora no cuento y que contaré las que se pueden si se puede.
God is with us!
Understand this, O nations, and submit yourselves for God is with us.
Hear this, even to the farthest bounds of the earth, for God is with us. Submit yourselves, O mighty ones, for God is with us. If you rise up again in your might, you will be overthrown, for God is with us. The Lord shall destroy all who take counsel together, and the word which you speak shall not abide with you, for God is with us. For we do not fear your terror, and we are not troubled, for God is with us. But we will ascribe holiness to the Lord our God, and Him will we hold in awesome fear, for God is with us. And if I put my trust in Him, He shall be my sanctification, for God is with us. I will set my hope on Him, and through Him I shall be saved -lo, I and the children whom God has given me, for God is with us. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness - on them a light has shined, for God is with us. For unto us a Child is born; to us a Son is given, for God is with us. And the government shall be upon His shoulder, and of His peace there will be no end, for God is with us. And His name shall be called the Messenger of Great Counsel, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, the Father of the World to Come, for God is with us.
