'The Daybreak of a Movement'

What sort of neighbors will we have?

That will depend on the quality of our memory and also of our imagination.

"If we had started out at daybreak, we would be there now."

Our times have not coincided.

Your daybreak came quickly.

Our night has been long.

But we can overcome the distance between our times if we can both recognize that the true duration of the human heart is in the present, this present in which we remember and we desire: this present where our past and our future are one.

Reality is not the product of an ideological phantasm.

It is the result of history.

And history is something we have created ourselves.

We are (thus) responsible for our history.

No one was present in the past.

No one has been present in the future.

But there is no living present without the imagination of a better world.

We both made the history of this Hemisphere.
