strange sensation! Though in my opinion this person had done wrong, I

couldn’t hate him or mistreat him. For the first time I was able to get a

good look at him. There, standing in the backdoor light, he was real and the

same as us. I regretted the way I had treated him and I knew he also

regretted the way he had handled matters years back.

His actions had been entrusted to him. It wasn’t in his hands. Little by little

everyone got close to me and also observed him. What most moved me was

a tear that rolled down his cheek followed by many others. He stretched out

his hand, in the same manner as we do, and in that moment we made

contact. I hadn’t noticed before but I too was crying.

All the hate and anger I carried since the day I went through that initial

experience, had now left me. I only felt love and compassion for that being.

Amarón took a step forward and without thinking twice about it we hugged

like brothers. This was a very emotional moment. I really can’t find the

words to describe what I was feeling. It was unique. Then, one by one,

everyone hugged him and we all cried together.

I invited him inside and he thanked me. I turned on the lights and went into

the kitchen. Some of us sat and others stood. The first thing he did was

apologize to us for having caused us so much trouble and anguish. He

assured us that that would never happen again. That, he said, was a promise

from one brother to another. We all believed him.

He told us he was presently taking the necessary steps with his superiors so

that that type of procedure, what we call abduction, is not employed

anymore. He was sure that with our help this could change so that further

contacts with other human beings of this Earth are carried out voluntarily.
