Eladio Mora Chichilla
I am not as good as many others.
There are many better ones.
I just write what I feel,
that which inspires me,
that lets my soul fly
with the freedom of the condor in the Andean Alps.
I let myself be carried by the breeze, enjoy the freshness,
and sharpen my vision.
At the heights of my inspiration,
I refine my feelings
and write without rules to reach your heart.
(Translated by Santosh Kumar Pokharel from Spanish)
