" Tomorrow is the only utopia "- José Saramago
often ask me how many years I have ...
does it matter!.
I have the age I want and feel.
The age at which I can cry without fear of what I think.
do what I want, without fear of failure, or unknown.
I have the experience of the years lived and strength of conviction
my wishes.
matter how many years do I have!.
I can not believe it.
Some say that I am old and others that I am at the peak.
But is not the age that I have, or what people say, but what
my heart feels and my brain dictates.
years I have needed to scream what I think, to
I want to recognize old wrongs, correct paths and treasure
success.
now do not have to say: You're too young, not make it.
I have the age at which things look more calmly, but
in the interest of further growth.
the years I have dreams begin to caress with the fingers, and dreams become
hope.
the years I have love, sometimes it's a crazy flash, eager
consumed in the fire of passion you want.
and others in a haven of peace, as the sunset at the beach.
How many years do I have? No need with a number to call, as my hopes
achieved, my triumphs, the tears that spilled
way to view my broken dreams ... worth more than that.
cares if I am twenty, forty, or sixty!.
What matters is the age I feel.
years I have need to live freely and without fear.
without fear To follow the path, then took me
experience and strength of my desires.
How many years do I have? That's who cares!.
years I have needed to lose the fear and do what I want and feel.
José Saramago, Nobel Literature Prize
