The Tree (or Remembrance of an Inanimate Life)

“Maybe the most significant dimension in life is the one that defines it as a cycle. The value of each of the elements that conform it rests in its finiteness. How can we not appreciate each fruit, each love and each experience, when its essence consists precisely in the fact that at some point they will give way to new days, new cycles, new lives? This wonderful tale reveals this fundamental idea that places us gently in the wisest of truths: life is a finite present, but loaded with memories and invaluable longings.”— Back cover text by Tania Pineda, editor, ©2015
