No sé si esto que escribo son poemas, frases, confesiones o reflexiones, quizá solo son palabras que necesitaban en un cuerpo caer. Esta bitácora no sigue una ruta geográfica, pero si filosófica, donde surge el porqué de los sentimientos, el porqué de la vida y el porqué de nosotros mismos. Estas crónicas no tienen un viaje tan largo: En la primera parte, el amor aparece como una revelación: suave, a veces salvaje, siempre transformador. En la segunda, el desamor lo convierte todo en sombra, memoria, y ceniza. Y en la tercera, se escribe desde un lugar más crudo: la vida como es, sin adornos; los días sin nombre, los temblores internos, los monstruos que nadie ve. Y si en alguna página te encuentras a ti misma, dejame decirte, que esto, habrá valido la pena. -Ale Valmoré. Con ustedes la primera parte: "El Amor".
