00:00:01.590 --> 00:00:03.750 align:middle line:84%
I'm gonna begin by reading
one of the poems that

00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:05.040 align:middle line:90%
was sent along to me.

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:06.090 align:middle line:90%
This is a Ofelia's poem.

00:00:06.090 --> 00:00:08.340 align:middle line:84%
And I'm going to mix it up
a little bit, if that's all

00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:09.420 align:middle line:90%
right, between languages.

00:00:09.420 --> 00:00:14.430 align:middle line:84%
It was wonderful to
hear how language

00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:19.290 align:middle line:90%
can make sentiment so complex.

00:00:19.290 --> 00:00:22.955 align:middle line:84%
That the simple word is
never the simple word.

00:00:22.955 --> 00:00:24.330 align:middle line:84%
This poem is
called, "It is Going

00:00:24.330 --> 00:00:34.970 align:middle line:84%
to Rain,"
"Va Llover." Someone

00:00:34.970 --> 00:00:38.120 align:middle line:90%
said it's going to rain.

00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:40.580 align:middle line:90%
I think it is not so.

00:00:40.580 --> 00:00:51.790 align:middle line:84%
Porque todavía no he sentido la tierra y la manera 
en que se pone quieta en la anticipación. Because I have not yet

00:00:51.790 --> 00:01:00.190 align:middle line:84%
felt the earth and the way it
holds still in anticipation.

00:01:00.190 --> 00:01:05.560 align:middle line:84%
Creo que no es así. I
think it is not so.

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:16.540 align:middle line:84%
Porque no he sentido el cielo hacerse pesado con la humedad 
de preparación. Because I have not yet felt

00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:23.420 align:middle line:84%
the sky become heavy with
the moisture of preparation.

00:01:23.420 --> 00:01:28.280 align:middle line:84%
Creo que no es así. I
think it is not so.

00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:37.190 align:middle line:84%
Porque no he sentido los vientos mover con su frescura. 
Because I have not yet felt the winds

00:01:37.190 --> 00:01:41.180 align:middle line:90%
move with their coolness.

00:01:41.180 --> 00:01:46.640 align:middle line:84%
Creo que no es así. I
think it is not so.

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:58.820 align:middle line:84%
Porque todavía no he inhalado la dulce, húmeda tierra 
que traen los vientos. Because I have not yet

00:01:58.820 --> 00:02:06.500 align:middle line:84%
inhaled the sweet, wet
dirt the winds bring.

00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:20.420 align:middle line:84%
Por eso, no hay ninguna verdad que va a llover. So, there
is no truth that it will rain.

00:02:20.420 --> 00:02:22.052 align:middle line:90%
Thank you-- Thank you, Ofelia.

00:02:22.052 --> 00:02:24.940 align:middle line:90%


00:02:24.940 --> 00:02:26.050 align:middle line:90%
Sherwin, I wish I had--

00:02:26.050 --> 00:02:27.634 align:middle line:90%
