Scalibur
Sometimes what for some people is unimportant, for others is a storehouse of memories. That is the case of this peculiar nail on one of the walls in the backyard of my house. It has been there for 20 years and for me it is sacred, it has been there so long that it already has its own name: Scalibur, like King Arthur's sword it stands firm, clinging to that stone.
En ocasiones lo que para algunas personas no tiene importancia, para otras es un almacén de recuerdos. Ese es el caso de este peculiar clavo en una de las paredes en el patio de mi casa. Ha estado allí por 20 años y para mi es sagrado, ha estado tanto tiempo que ya tiene su propio nombre: Scalibur, como la espada del Rey Arturo se mantiene firme, aferrado a esa piedra.
Scalibur arrived there in an improvised way in the middle of my 17th birthday celebration, with the only function of holding the lamp that would illuminate hours later the most animated party I have ever had with my teenage friends. That day everything was improvised! I remember that I had not planned anything special to celebrate, but out of nowhere those friends arrived one by one and suddenly that birthday earned the privilege of being my favorite memory of those happy years.
Scalibur llegó allí de manera improvisada en plena celebración de mis 17 años, con la única función de sujetar la lámpara que iluminaría horas más tardes la más animada tertulia que he tenido con mis amigos de la adolescencia. Ese día todo fue improvisado! Recuerdo que yo no había planificado nada especial para celebrar, pero de la nada fueron llegando uno a uno aquellos amigos y de pronto ese cumpleaños se ganó el privilegio de ser mi recuerdo preferido de aquellos años felices.
Today my friends are scattered all over the world, but Scalibur is there as a tangible reflection of that day, the last day we all got together. It is there, rusty, as undeniable proof of the passage of time and with the sole function of not allowing me to forget.
Hoy mis amigos están dispersos por todo el mundo, pero Scalibur está ahí como reflejo tangible de aquel día, el último día en que nos reunimos todos. Está ahí, oxidado, como prueba innegable del paso del tiempo y con la única función de no permitirme olvidar.
