NAME:

the cloud watcher

So began my friendship with the cloud watcher. It was spring. I walked down a small street in my neighborhood, Flores. I'll tell you how it was: it's a kind of magical street, cut by the train line and with some low walls, good for playing and balancing on them. There, sitting on one of those little walls, was the cloud watcher. The first thing I noticed was that he was looking up. Of course, people usually look down, over their shoulders or straight ahead, but rarely up. I remember looking at her beautiful blue eyes, like two little pieces of heaven.

- And for what? – I asked (because my uncle Alberto says you shouldn't be shy about asking when we want to learn something).
– For what?
– What are you watching the clouds for?
– First, because I like it. Makes me happy. Besides, I have to take a good look and then tell the whole thing in Congress.
– What congress?
– The Congress of the Beautiful Observers, to be held one of these days somewhere.
– Oh, and how do you do it?
– Watch clouds? It's very easy: just lie down looking up, and if it's on a lawn, better; let yourself be caressed by the wind and look at the sky...
- Thus?
- Thus.
– Oh, how beautiful! Look at this one, it looks like a little sheep. And that one, a castle… how beautiful! Can we go up?
- Well, this is a secret, but as you seem to be a good observer, I'll tell you. You have to do as I say, but most of all, you have to let your imagination take you.
- Thus?
– I don't know, imagination is invisible.
In an instant I saw myself jumping from cloud to cloud; and to think that in books it is said that clouds are water vapor! They were padded, soft as cotton, and when I sank between them, it was as if they were caressing me.
