I said a miracle happened to me one time at Christmas when I wished for it. I look at Guillermo quizzically. The children know this story. I will tell you outside while they clear the table. We step out into the sparkling night air, and the stars are even more lustrous than before.
Whole galaxies are visible, cloudlike and full of mystery.
Guillermo and I walk toward the lake, happily full of food and wine, while he talks. Twenty-five years ago I had nothing. In these mountains, it's hard to find work. Then God helped me. We were visiting my wife's family, who are city people.
