Y todas las noches bajo la vía láctea parecen eternas
Hola, soy Rick. I'm 24 years old. I'm from Puerto Rico. I probably totally like you.
“ ‘There’s lots to do; we have a very busy schedule —
‘At 8 o’clock we get up, and then we spend
‘From 8 to 9 daydreaming,
‘From 9 to 9:30 we take our early midmorning nap,
‘From 9:30 to 10:30 we dawdle and delay,
‘From 10:30 to 11:30 we take our late early morning nap,
‘From 11:30 to 12:00 we bide our time and then eat lunch.
‘From 1:00 to 2:00 we linger and loiter.
‘From 2:00 to 2:30 we take our early afternoon nap.
‘From 2:30 to 3:30 we put off for tomorrow what we could have done today.
‘From 3:30 to 4:00 we take our early late afternoon nap.
‘From 4:00 to 5:00 we loaf and lounge until dinner.
‘From 6:00 to 7:00 we dillydally.
‘From 7:00 to 8:00 we take our early evening nap, and then for an hour before we go to bed at 9:00 we waste time.
‘As you can see, that leaves almost no time for brooding, lagging, plodding, or procrastination, and if we stopped to think or laugh, we’d never get nothing done.’

“ Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven’t the answer to a question you’ve been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause in a roomful of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you’re all alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful, if you listen carefully.

“ It seemed a great wonder that the world, which was so large, could sometimes feel so small and empty.
