Tejer
Tejer es
ser creador y formador,
es traducir lo invisible al mundo de lo invisible;
atrapar sueños e ilusiones
entre las redes de los hilos.
Gaspar Pedro González

To weave
To weave is
to be a Creator and a Former,
translating the invisible
to the world of the visible;
trapping dreams and illusions in nets of thread.
