When I was 18 with my friend Damiana memory recited chapters of Rayuela. Latest arrivals of our people, Buenos Aires had the same context: we started with the land and, if our shots were clear and the balance was with us, we knew we were going to gain heaven. The day began at 8 pm and extending until the bakeries in the Santa Fe Av wake. Studied and loved Julio Cortázar with devoted passion. We had developed a perfect system to see if the man she knew was "that we had to find" and repeated like a psalm, walked without knowing that we were to find us meet. If the chosen squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom as descartábamos. If we said "I touch your mouth with my finger I touch your mouth ..." and he was unresponsive and not telling the keyword "cortazar," then no conmisceración desechábamos ....
"Julito" was Cortázar, and our respective "Rayuela" had annotations, deletions, obscenities, dried flowers, feathers found, autumn leaves ...
Friendship is so, is this line that goes from life, its moments, books shared memory and exalted joy. A line that connects all the tears clandestine and dishes.
Years passed, Damiana traveled to Paris, and from there I got this gift (this photo) with the note she left for Julio, our own, signed by the two, there, in his tomb in the cemetery Momparnasse.
The note says "thanks." And we get to heaven ... we come to heaven.
