"Envejecer es obligatorio, crecer es opcional" (anónimo).

Un día como cualquier otro amanece en la granja, el abuelo Pepe le lleva el maíz a las gallinas, patos y pavos que están en el corral, los quehaceres van muy bien cuando al momento de regar las plantas se para arriba de un hormiguero, válgame dios, de brincos y saltos salió don Pepe por la bravura de las hormiguitas.

Entre dientes y refunfuños, se queja de las picaduras cuando de pronto escucha una voz que dice- tranquilo abuelo Pepe esas picaditas pasan rápido, por eso es que me las como, además esas rojitas son picantes- busca don Pepe desesperadamente pero no ve a nadie, se calma y mira con paciencia pensando en la jugarreta de algún sin oficio, pero igual no ve a nadie.

Detrás de un arbusto que ve moverse sale el gallo padrote el más bonito su plumaje rojo como quien viste de gala, y don Pepe lo observa como esperando algo de aquel gallo, nada pasa y el abuelo para su adentro dice - los años me están pegando, creo me estoy volviendo loco- y decide ir a tomar agua y descansar.

A la mañana siguiente el viejo granjero vuelve a sus labores cotidianas y le toca el turno de la comida a las aves y en secuencia ir de nuevo a regar las plantas, esta ves pendiente del hormiguero, piensa - que va hoy no me pican- y se ríe, de pronto escucha la misma voz del día anterior pero esta vez diciendo - viste y después dicen que loro viejo no aprende a hablar, jajaja- luego de aquella risa, don Pepe ahora mas preocupado busca con desespero la procedencia de la voz, cosa que no sucede y casi despavorido se marcha.

Luego de varios días de descanso forzado don Pepe decide volver a sus faenas con algo de temor pero firme como siempre, esta vez pendiente de todo, cuando al levantar la mirada ve en el árbol una figura que se asemeja a un niño que entre las hojarasca no distingue, pero en su hábil ingenio dice de manera firme - ajá ya te vi, no trates de esconderte- y efectivamente el pequeño sujeto responde - no lo habías hecho porque no querías, siempre que has venido he estado aquí- a lo que el viejo responde de manera imponente - baja de allí ahora mismo déjate ver- la pequeña figura comienza lentamente a bajar del árbol hasta que ya en el piso don Pepe se percata de la poca estatura que tiene, y en su afán de saber quién es pregunta - ¿caramba y quién eres tu, o mejor que eres tu?- escucha un suspiro profundo y la voz de aquella cosa que no sabía que era - a ver ponte cómodo para poder explicarte- el viejo mañoso y medio arisco le dice - estás en mis tierras así que aquí se hace lo que yo digo, y yo digo que me digas que eres y de dónde saliste- le responde el pequeño - soy Daros el hada de la vida- incrédulo el viejo pregunta - ¿y porque estás aquí?- dice - he seguido tus paso desde muy pequeño, en ocasiones jugamos juntos y hoy ya no me recuerdas porque tú corazón dejo de ser el de un niño- - vuelves a verme y a oírme por la delgada línea temporal que existe entre la vida y la muerte- algo estigmatizado, asombrado sacude la cara y toma un poco de agua de la cual también echa en su cara, voltea y continua viendo a Daros.

Un silencio sepulcral invade el cuerpo de Pepe al punto de estremecerlo, Daros por su parte calmado exclama - hoy es un día especial, pues vuelves a ser niño- Con susto en sus ojos y temblor en su voz pregunta - porque dices eso, no entiendo, dime, no te quedes callado, dime-

Con desespero Pepe pierde el control y corre a su cuarto donde llora desconsolado, y cae rendido en un sueño profundo dónde el dolor ni la preocupación existen.

Al día siguiente se levanta muy temprano y mientras se estira en la cama, escucha una voz que dice - Pepito a levantarse es hora de ir a la escuela- da un salto como por tiempo no podía hacerlo se miró al espejo dándose cuenta que su cuerpo era el de su infancia y reconociendo la voz que le llamo como la de su adorada madre.
Estallo en llanto y el desconsuelo lo abrazo, en la habitación se escucha otra voz que dice - ya me recuerdas te espere y por fin ya estás aquí-

Un paseo difuminó toda su realidad y al ver su entorno camina a la puerta y Daros le advierte - cuidado con lo que vez- sin hacer caso salió a la sala de aquella casona y mira un ataúd al cual se acerca sin temor, la tapa está abierta y se dispone a ver, cuando al asomarse mira su cuerpo, inserte , frío, muerto y voltea a mirar a Daros quien replica- te lo advertí-

Un par de segundos no más duro Pepe para imaginar lo que pasaba y sin dudar se sacudió como queriendo despertar de una pesadilla, pero mientras más se movía y se apretaba más cuenta se daba que era una cruel pero real verdad.

Daros infirió - todo es real, solo que en distintos tiempos, escuchaste a tu madre porque es a quien más extrañas y te ves en el ataúd porque es a la muerte a quien más temes.

Siguió diciendo- así es la vida, pasamos ignorando cada momento y a cada persona pensando que siempre estarán allí y cuando nos damos cuenta la vida ha pasado y esos seres que marcan nuestras vidas con amor y enseñanzas ya no están y el recuerdo trae añoranzas y hasta remordimiento por no haber hecho lo suficiente por ellos.

Pepe niño - entre sollozos dice - recuerdo todos los momentos que viví, parece mentira todo esto que hoy veo, escucho y siento.

En el cuerpo que yace en ese frío sarcófago, tuve muchas aventuras, mi madre el gran amor de mi vida, ese día, el último que la vi me decía -vive cada segundo como el último- y salí a recorrer mundo y cuando regrese ya no estaba, la muerte la sorprendió una mañana de invierno y ni despedida ni llanto, oh madre cuánto te extraño.

Daros en un gesto de empatía dijo - tranquilo no todo está perdido, solo escucha tu corazón y el universo te devolverá lo que tanto quieres, recuérdame siempre y vive, vive.

En aquel justo momento abre los ojos don Pepe en medio varias personas en el pasaje dónde recordaba le picaron aquellas hormiga, volviendo en si, pregunta que sucedió, a lo que responde su esposa - al parecer entre saltos por las picadas de hormigas caíste y golpeaste tu cabeza-

Piensa - todo a sido delirios por la contusión- se levanta con sumo cuidado se dirige a su casa, pero algo le hace voltear, despacio fijando su mirada en aquel arbustos arriba del árbol como quien confirma sus pensamientos, al percatarse que en ese sitio donde busca está aquel pequeño que conoció por Daros que levanta su pequeña mano y se despide.

"De la vida no quiero mucho. Quiero apenas saber que intenté todo lo que quise, tuve todo lo que pude, amé lo que valía la pena y perdi apenas lo que, nunca fue mio."

                                                                                         -Pablo Neruda

Growing old is obligatory, growing up is optional" (anonymous).

A day like any other dawns on the farm, Grandpa Pepe brings corn to the chickens, ducks and turkeys that are in the barnyard, the chores are going very well when at the time of watering the plants he stands on top of an anthill, goodness gracious, Don Pepe jumped up and down because of the bravery of the little ants.

Between teeth and grumbling, he complains about the bites when suddenly he hears a voice that says- calm down Grandpa Pepe those little bites pass quickly, that's why I eat them, besides those little red ones are spicy- Don Pepe looks desperately but sees no one, he calms down and looks patiently thinking about the trick of some truant, but he still sees no one.

Behind a bush, behind a bush, he sees a little ants, but he sees no one.

Behind a bush that he sees moving, a rooster comes out, the most beautiful one, with red plumage like the one who dresses up, and Don Pepe observes him as if waiting for something from that rooster, nothing happens and the grandfather says to himself -the years are hitting me, I think I am going crazy- and decides to go to drink water and rest.

The next morning the old grandfather says -the years are hitting me, I think I am going crazy- and decides to go to drink water and rest.

The next morning the old farmer returns to his daily chores and it is his turn to feed the birds and then go back to watering the plants, this time watching the ant hill, he thinks - no way today they are not biting me - and he laughs, Suddenly he hears the same voice of the previous day but this time saying - you saw and then they say that the old parrot does not learn to speak, hahaha - after that laugh, Don Pepe now more worried desperately looks for the source of the voice, which does not happen and almost terrified he leaves.

After several days of forced rest, Don Pepe decides to return to his chores with some fear but firm as always, this time keeping an eye on everything, when looking up he sees in the tree a figure that resembles a child that he cannot distinguish among the leaves, but in his clever wit he says firmly - aha I saw you, don't try to hide - and indeed the little guy answers - you had not done it because you didn't want to, I have been here every time you have come - to which the old man responds in an imposing manner - come down from there right now, let yourself be seen - the small figure slowly begins to descend from the tree until Don Pepe notices his small stature on the ground, and in his eagerness to know who he is, he asks - gee and who are you, or rather who are you? - he hears a deep sigh and the voice of that thing he didn't know it was - let's see, make yourself comfortable so I can explain - the old man, crafty and half surly, tells him - you are in my land, so what I say is done here, and I say you tell me who you are and where you came from - the little boy answers - I am Daros, the fairy of life - the old man incredulously asks - and why are you here - he says - I have been following your steps since very far away - he says - I have followed your steps since very far away. he says - I have followed your steps since I was very little, sometimes we played together and today you no longer remember me because your heart is no longer that of a child - - you see and hear me again through the thin line of time that exists between life and death - somewhat stigmatized, astonished he shakes his face and takes some water which he also pours on his face, turns and continues seeing Daros.

A sepulchral silence invades Pepe's body to the point of shaking him, Daros calmly exclaims - today is a special day, because you are a child again - With fright in his eyes and trembling in his voice he asks - why do you say that, I don't understand, tell me, don't be silent, tell

With desperation Pepe loses control and runs to his room where he cries inconsolably, and falls into a deep sleep where neither pain nor worry exist.

The next day he gets up very early and as he stretches out in bed, he hears a voice that says - Pepito, get up, it's time to go to school - he jumps up as he could not do it for a long time, he looks at himself in the mirror and realizes that his body was that of his childhood and recognizes the voice that called him as that of his beloved mother.

He burst into tears and grief embraced him, in the room he heard another voice saying - you remember me, I waited for you and finally you are here-

A walk blurred all his reality and seeing his surroundings he walks to the door and Daros warns him - be careful with what you see - without paying attention he went out to the living room of that house and looks at a coffin to which he approaches without fear, the lid is open and he gets ready to see, when he looks out he sees his body, insert, cold, dead and turns to look at Daros who replies - I warned you-

It took Pepe a couple of seconds to imagine what was happening and without hesitation he shook himself as if he wanted to wake up from a nightmare, but the more he moved and squeezed the more he realized that it was a cruel but real truth.

Daros inferred - everything is real, only in different times, you listened to your mother because she is the one you miss the most and you see yourself in the coffin because it is death you fear the most.

He continued - that's life, we ignore every moment and every person thinking that they will always be there and when we realize that life has passed and those beings that mark our lives with love and teachings are gone and the memory brings longing and even remorse for not having done enough for them.

Pepe child - between sobs says - I remember all the moments I lived, it seems unbelievable all this that today I see, hear and feel.

In the body that lies in that cold sarcophagus, I had many adventures, my mother the great love of my life, that day, the last day I saw her she told me - live every second as the last - and I went out to travel the world and when I came back she was gone, death surprised her one winter morning and neither farewell nor crying, oh mother how much I miss you.

Daros in a gesture of empathy said - calm, all is not lost, just listen to your heart and the universe will give you back what you love so much, always remember me and live, live.

At that very moment Don Pepe opens his eyes in the middle of several people in the passage where he remembered he was stung by those ants, coming to his senses, he asks what happened, to which his wife answers - apparently between jumps because of the ants' stings you fell and hit your head-

Think - everything has been just a coincidence, it's all just a coincidence.

He gets up very carefully and heads for home, but something makes him turn around, slowly fixing his gaze on that bush above the tree as if confirming his thoughts, realizing that in that place where he is looking for is that little boy he met through Daros who raises his little hand and says goodbye.

"I don't want much from life. I just want to know that I tried everything I wanted, I tried everything I could, I loved what was worthwhile, and I lost only what was never mine."

                                                                                                                                                                                      -Pablo Neruda
