"Algo más grande que mis sueños" (Relato) [Esp-Eng]

in Writing Clublast year

Sobre las praderas de una colorida montaña, un niño yace tendido sobre la grama, con su mirada apuntando hacia arriba mientras se graba en su rostro una gran sonrisa. Noche tras noche esta es la rutina de un pequeño soñador. Su nombre es Marcos, un niño que parece guardar un hermoso anhelo por las estrellas, la luna y todo lo que hay junto a ella. Él es tan solo un niño que, desde que aprendió a caminar y hablar, no hace más que admirar el firmamento que en cada anochecer le revela sus deseos y también sus secretos.

No son muchos los años que Marcos ya lleva creciendo, y tiene en su mente y su corazón convertirse algún día convertirse en un astronauta, para así poder pasearse por todo el universo y disfrutar de ese gran paisaje celestial que por ahora solo contempla desde lo lejos. En sus notas ya atrasado un mapa, y las instrucciones para crear una nave espacial. “¿Habrá algún campo allá arriba donde pueda construir mi casa y sembrar mis semillas?” es una pregunta que Marcos le hace a la misma Luna esperando una respuesta que alimente su esperanza de navegar más allá de los cielos.

Ser astronauta era lo más importante en la vida de Marcos, pues tenía las habilidades y la actitud necesaria para semejante ocupación. Era un niño muy inteligente e ingenioso, capaz de hacer volar cualquier cosa a punta de determinación. Hasta hace poco él no sabía siquiera tomar una aguja, y ya hoy ha confeccionado su propio traje espacial con el cual se dispondrá a recolectar algunas estrellas, navegar sobre varias galaxias y tomar un hermoso bronceado en la cercanía del castillo donde reside el sol. Todas esas cosas marco las lleva anotadas en su diario, un pequeño libro que se ha convertido en El guardián de sus sueños y su inspiración.

Cierta noche Marcos se apostó sobre el rocío de unas flores que por allí andaban, y entre versos y aromas se quedó dormido. De pronto, un Lucero con sentido fugaz pasó frente al niño, llevándose su diario y sus sueños en una mochila, mientras le infligía una herida en su alma que le marcaría para toda la vida. Aquel dolor fue tan amargo que de inmediato lo hizo despertar, un golpe tan contundente que lo hizo descubrir por vez primera lo que era llorar. Muchos pensaron que ya no había razón para añorar algo que jamás lograría, pero lo que nadie comprendía era que este niño vivía por un sueño que era su verdadera realidad.

Marcos nunca pensó en rendirse, aunque sus planes y su vida parecían arruinadas por la envidia de una estrella maligna. Muchos pensaron que renunciaría a sus sueños, pero este niño era más grande de lo que todos pensaban, y si el cielo mismo no fue capaz de limitar sus profundos anhelos, mucho menos lo haría la mala intención vestida de falsa ilusión. Así que Marcos tomó un sorbo de valor y un trozo de fe, y se fue camino a la montaña más alta para reclamar lo que le habían arrebatado.

Sin más tiempo que perder, aquel niño temerario emprendió su viaje, y pronto frente a sus pasos se encontraría con un gran obstáculo: un río profundo y caudaloso, tan largo para cruzar como el extremo del sol hacia la luna. Marcos no sabía nadar, pero aún así se las arregló para seguir adelante. Se fijó en la sapiencia de los peces para nadar a contracorriente, y después de varios intentos llegó al otro lado del río con total facilidad . Y seguido dejó atrás un gran peligro, y aprendió una lección que sería muy útil de ahora en adelante por todo el camino.

Un telón que colgaba de las nubes reveló otro problema para Marcos, y no se trataba de un espejismo sino de un desierto árido y tibio, carente de vida y moribundo en sueños e ideas. Solo residuos inservibles vagaban con el viento que silbaba la melodía más triste que se pudiera imaginar, y lucía como un enorme hoyo donde ni la luz ni el amor podían llegar. Pero entonces Marcos se encontró un tintero a punto de secarse y un pincel sucio y despeinado, así que decidió aprender a pintar retratos y paisajes, con los que adornó aquel lugar que en vez de dar miedo ahora daba placer.

Y así llegó el último obstáculo, tan grande e intimidante como no se hubiese imaginado. Era una montaña que no paraba de gritar y llorar, la cual no podía subir a menos que supieras cantar. Marcos no sabía nada de música y canciones, así que tuvo que aprender de lo que había en los alrededores. Entonces tomó unas notas musicales que un canario dejó caer sobre sus manos, y en un par de atardeceres logró componer una canción que hizo dormir a la montaña, y también suspirar a todo aquel que lograba escuchar tan encantadora melodía. Por fin el niño había llegado al lugar donde podría recuperar lo que por tanto tiempo andaba buscando.

Al fin Marcos llegó a su anhelado destino coma y con lágrimas en los ojos aprendió que también se puede llorar de felicidad. Encontró el lugar donde la noche Se confabula con los residentes del universo, y llenan de luz y colores todo el firmamento. Todo parece ser fiesta y algarabía, mientras marco parece ahora entender el propósito de todo lo que ha pasado con su vida. Porque ya no se trataba de aquel sueño que desde niño lo desveló, sino de todo lo que ganó cuando su vida parecía perdida.

Aprendió a pescar y a nadar, descubrió su don de pintor y poeta mientras escribía canciones que nunca imaginó poder expresar, y llegó a experimentar emociones y sentimientos únicos de alguien que supo seguir adelante a pesar de la adversidad. Hoy, Marcos todavía se sienta a meditar en la belleza de la noche, ya no llorando sus sueños, si no agradeciendo por todo aquello que aprendió por no alcanzarlos a tiempo.

ENGLISH VERSION


On the meadows of a colorful mountain, a little boy lies on the grass, his eyes looking upwards while a big smile is etched on his face. Night after night this is the routine of a little dreamer. His name is Marcos, a little boy who seems to have a beautiful longing for the stars, the moon and everything that is next to it. He is just a child who, since he learned to walk and talk, does nothing but admire the firmament that at every nightfall reveals its desires and also its secrets.

Marcos has not been growing up for many years, and he has in his mind and heart to become an astronaut someday, so he can walk around the universe and enjoy that great celestial landscape that for now he only contemplates from afar. In his notes already backlogged a map, and instructions for creating a spaceship. "Will there be a field up there where I can build my house and sow my seeds?" is a question Marcos asks the Moon itself, hoping for an answer that will nourish his hope of navigating beyond the heavens.

Being an astronaut was the most important thing in Marcos' life, as he had the skills and attitude necessary for such an occupation. He was a very intelligent and resourceful child, capable of flying anything with determination. Until recently he didn't even know how to pick up a needle, and already today he has made his own space suit with which he is going to collect some stars, sail over several galaxies and get a beautiful tan in the vicinity of the castle where the sun resides. All these things Marcos keeps in his diary, a small book that has become the keeper of his dreams and his inspiration.

One night Marcos lay down on the dew of some flowers that were wandering around, and between verses and aromas he fell asleep. Suddenly, a star with a fleeting sense passed in front of the boy, taking his diary and his dreams in a backpack, while inflicting a wound in his soul that would mark him for life. That pain was so bitter that it immediately made him wake up, a blow so forceful that it made him discover for the first time what it was to cry. Many thought that there was no reason to yearn for something he would never achieve, but what no one understood was that this boy lived for a dream that was his true reality.

Marcos never thought of giving up, even though his plans and his life seemed to be ruined by the envy of an evil star. Many thought he would give up on his dreams, but this boy was bigger than everyone thought, and if heaven itself was not able to limit his deep yearnings, much less would evil intent dressed in false illusion. So Mark took a sip of courage and a sliver of faith, and set out on his way to the highest mountain to reclaim what had been taken from him.

With no more time to lose, that reckless boy set out on his journey, and soon in front of his steps he would encounter a great obstacle: a deep and mighty river, as long to cross as the end of the sun to the moon. Mark could not swim, but still managed to push on. He looked to the fishes' sapience to swim against the current, and after several attempts he reached the other side of the river with complete ease. And then he left behind a great danger, and learned a lesson that would be very useful from now on all along the way.

A curtain hanging from the clouds revealed another problem for Mark, and it was not a mirage but a barren, lukewarm desert, devoid of life and moribund in dreams and ideas. Only useless debris wandered with the wind that whistled the saddest melody imaginable, and it looked like a huge pit where neither light nor love could reach. But then Marcos found an inkwell about to dry and a dirty and unkempt brush, so he decided to learn to paint portraits and landscapes, with which he adorned that place that instead of being scary now gave pleasure.

And so came the last obstacle, as big and intimidating as you could not have imagined. It was a mountain that wouldn't stop screaming and crying, which you couldn't climb unless you knew how to sing. Marcos knew nothing about music and songs, so he had to learn from what was around. So he took some musical notes that a canary dropped on his hands, and in a couple of sunsets he managed to compose a song that made the mountain sleep, and also made everyone who managed to listen to such a charming melody sigh. At last the boy had arrived at the place where he could recover what he had been searching for so long.

At last Marcos arrived at his longed-for destination, and with tears in his eyes he learned that it is also possible to cry for happiness. He found the place where the night conspires with the residents of the universe, and they fill the whole firmament with light and colors. Everything seems to be party and merriment, while Marco now seems to understand the purpose of everything that has happened to his life. For it was no longer about that dream that had kept him awake since he was a child, but about all that he had gained when his life seemed lost.

He learned to fish and swim, discovered his gift as a painter and poet while writing songs he never imagined he could express, and came to experience the unique emotions and feelings of someone who knew how to move forward despite adversity. Today, Marcos still sits meditating in the beauty of the night, no longer mourning his dreams, but grateful for all that he learned by not reaching them in time.

Los sueños mutan. Los sueños cambian, y eso es lo más maravilloso de todo. Que nada permanece eterno. Me gusta que matizaras eso, aparte de lo que el niño quería llegar a ser. Cuando estaba pequeño mi sueño era ser Arquitecto, después comprendí que lo que quería era hacer ciudades o simplemente dedicarme a diseñar. Aparte de otras cosas. Es un gran giro.

Muy sabia reflexión amigo @neruel Realmente los giros de la vida nos dejan una profunda enseñanza en nuestro camino por alcanzar nuestras metas 🙂

Gracias por compartir tu apreciación sobre el tema de este relato 👍 Saludos y éxitos para ti amigo 👋

Hola amigo @cajiro, me encanto. A veces tienen que ocurrir las cosas para entonces salir a aprender a nadar, a vivir y todo tiene un tiempo justo, un tiempo perfecto. Cuanso eso se logra la satisfacción es grande, hay que seguir soñando, porque los sueños se hacen realidad, únicamente si creemos.

Nuestros sueños nos inspiran, y los obstáculos nos hacen crecer y cultivar cualidades que a la larga nos hacen ser mejores personas 😊
Muchas gracias amiga @dorytagil2022 por esas palabras tan buenas y animadoras que nos ayudan a reflexionar 🥳🤗
