"El viaje"
Oriol Vall, que se ocupa de los recién nacidos en un hospital de Barcelona, dice que el primer gesto humano es el abrazo. Después de salir al mundo, al
principio de sus días, los bebés manotean, como buscando a alguien.
Otros médicos, que se ocupan de los ya vividos, dicen que los viejos, al fin de sus días, mueren queriendo alzar los brazos.
Y así es la cosa, por muchas vueltas que le demos al asunto, y por muchas palabras que le pongamos. A eso, así de simple, se reduce todo: entre dos
aleteos, sin más explicación, transcurre el viaje.
"El Viaje" es una de las historias del libro Bocas del tiempo (2004) escrito por Eduardo Galeano.

"The Journey"
Oriol Vall, who takes care of newborns in a Barcelona hospital, says that the first human gesture is the hug. After coming out into the world, at the beginning
of their days, the babies are waving their hands, as if looking for someone.
Other doctors, who take care of those who are already alive, say that old people, at the end of their days, die wanting to raise their arms.
And that's the way it is, no matter how many turns we give to the matter, and no matter how many words we put to it. That's what it all boils down to:
between two flutterings, without further explanation, the journey takes place.
"El Viaje" is one of the stories in the book Bocas del tiempo (2004) written by Eduardo Galeano.
