Our current exposure to the media propels many to embrace individual feats. It negates the family effort and glorifies the the individual. “If not for WE there would not be ME.” Treasures can be found in the heart.

This is an extraordinary piece - thank you so much for sharing it. The clues of the language (langclues as I call them) are so poignant - I had many rounds of goosebumps reading this. Memories and imagination, indeed.

I'm curious if there are links to any of the texts in Spanish that you reference here, that are publicly sharable?

In case, deep thanks for your thoughtful work and shares here.
