Las cosas suceden por alguna razón... y las transformaciones colectivas nos sacuden estando inmersos en procesos y circunstancias individuales, para que cada uno las viva, aprenda y transite a su manera, para destilar lo que cada cual ha elegido de esa experiencia, entretejida con el resto de nuestro caminar.
