Escrito en el agua (a propósito del pin parental)

      Será, posiblemente, nostalgia del todo lo que el viento de la tecnología y la economía se llevó, y - en especial - de ese paraíso perdido que para mí, y para muchos otros, es la infancia, pero siempre, desde que cobré conciencia del instinto de paternidad, he soñado con tener un hijo, al menos uno, que creciese al margen del Sistema sin convertirse en su rehén,  que no figurase en el Registro Civil para de ese modo no tener el día de mañana ni el más mínimo documento de identidad, que no se viera obligado a ir todos los días al colegio, que aprendiera el sentido y los secretos de la vida en el dédalo de las calles de una pequeña, pequeñísima ciudad del tercer mundo, y en los campos...

Uno de mis particulares mandamientos me obliga -de forma inflexible- a no decir nunca, ni a los amigos ni a los enemigos, lo que pienso de sus libros. Es una barrera de salvación, una medida cautelar para evitar el riesgo de darles una opinión negativa y quedarme sin amigos...
