"She was the lady and mistress of an empire of dust and cobwebs that could be saved only by the strength of invincible love. She was not intimidated because she felt herself inspired by an exalted courage that would have enabled her to move the world"

| Suchitoto ~ El Salvador Dias para permanecer cabizbajo en la soledad de antiguas ruinas que surgen de la tierra viva y llena de hierbas de las ultimas lluvias. Dias espinosos en que duele la alegria de los seres amados y la mirada reclama su pozo oscuro. Dias en que no se soporta el espectaculo de la tempestad energica del mar que solto sus ligaduras de la profundidad que lo detiene. Dias abiertos al angel de la conmiseracion para que alce vuelo el sollozo como una golondrina a quien nadie mirara. Dias de color lento en que se desdibujan las facciones del amor. |

| Art from El Salvador, inspired by Fernando Llort |
"This volcano-laden, dazzling land of El Salvador is an inexhaustible fountain of bright, warm and lively colors. A world not of faint colors, veiled by stained glass; not glazed transparencies, tormented by the midday sun, but rather the triumph of colors... a symbol of life!"
Fernando Llort

| Ancianos de mi Tierra Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members. |

Solitude
I have a house where I go
When there's too many people,
I have a house where I go
Where no one can be;
I have a house where I go,
Where nobody ever says "No";
Where no one says anything - so
There is no one but me.
A.A. Milne
(The Complete Tales and Poems of Winnie the Pooh)
