She wasn't quite sure what to write, but felt a deep need to do so. María Rosa thought of the time and effort she had put into her economics thesis and realized that writing a letter could be even harder.
In the end, she shared a dream she had the night before:
In the bundles they were carrying food, and there were other bundles carrying ants. What I remember at the end of the dream is that the ants broke free and joined together, and crossed the bridge slowly, each one carrying a little piece of food, and they were the only ones who managed to finish the journey. I don't know — I'm telling you the dream because I think that sometimes dreams carry part of reality. Draw your own conclusions.
