El transcurso inevitable de los años tiene un<br />

contenido tan especial como enigmático que es la<br />

experiencia. Ese factor fundamental del conocimiento de<br />

algo a través de haberlo vivido y que queda allí, guardado<br />

en el atesoramiento del recuerdo. Aunque también y en la<br />

misma medida, nos lleva a vivir la pérdida de aquellos seres<br />

queridos y admirados, algo así como la parte ambigua del<br />

paso por la vida.<br />

Mi propia experiencia, fue haberlo conocido, haber<br />

estado a su lado, haber compartido aquel sueño casi<br />

dislocado de transformar las calles de Miami en algo así como<br />

Mónaco, tener un Grand Prix propio, con acento cubano, el<br />

mismo que trajera impreso en sus retinas de mocoso ingenuo<br />

desde el Malecón habanero y fuera tomando forma como<br />

un castillo en el aire resguardado en las paredes del orfanato<br />

que lo cobijó en suelo americano.<br />

The inevitable passing of the years bestows upon<br />

its recipient something as special as it is enigmatic, which<br />

is the blessing of experience. That fundamental factor of<br />

knowing something through having lived it remains there,<br />

stored in the treasury of memory. To the same extent, it<br />

leads us to live the loss of those loved and admired,<br />

something like the ambiguous part of the passage through<br />

life.<br />

My own experience of having met him, having been<br />

by his side, having shared that almost dislocated dream of<br />

transforming the streets of Miami into something like Monaco,<br />

having his own Grand Prix, with a Cuban accent, the same<br />

one that he had imprinted on his retinas of naive brat from<br />

Havana’s Malecón took shape as a castle in the air<br />

protected behind the walls of the orphanage that sheltered<br />

him on American soil.<br />
