How Much Is Just One Pearl Worth?

Letter of Gabo

"If for a moment forget that I am God a puppet made of cloth and gave me a little bit of life, probably would not say everything I think, but ultimately I would think everything I say.
I would value things not for what they are worth, but what they mean.
sleep little, dream more, I understand that for every minute that we close our eyes we lose sixty seconds of light.
I would walk when others stop, I would wake when others sleep.
listen when others talk, and how
enjoy a good chocolate ice cream!
If God gave me a little bit of life, dress so simple, I would jump on the ground in the sun, leaving the open, not only my body but my soul.
My God, if I had a heart, write my hate on ice, and wait until the sun came out.
paint with a Van Gogh dream of star on a poem by Benedetti, and a Serrat song would be the serenade I'd offer to the moon.
Water roses with my tears to feel the pain of their thorns, and the incarnation of its petals kiss ...
My God, if I had a little life ...
I would not let a day pass without telling the people I love, that I will well. I would convince each woman or man who is my favorite and I would live in love with love.
Men prove that they are wrong when they think that they stop falling in love when they grow old, not knowing that age when they stop falling in love!.
For a child I would give wings, but let him learn to fly alone.
teach the old that death does not come with old age but with forgetting.
So many things I learned from you, the men ...
I learned that everybody wants to live in the top of the mountain, without knowing that true happiness is the way to go the escarpment.
I learned that when a newborn child squeezes with his little fist, for the first time, the finger of his father keeps him trapped forever.
I learned that a man has the right to look down another, only when it helps him get up.
There are many things I could learn from you, but really will not help much, because when I put in that suitcase, unfortunately I'll be dying. "
