The first visit of my travel was to the freedom, I mean the one which permeates all the London's parks. Those silent and green parks where people stop. Yes, at least for a moment, they do it and they are happy (or maybe not) but they stop and look around. With "just that" I was very happy those days, because it's true that knowing how to look at people and all the things in general, despite of being a small fact, is what brings you the biggest happyness. When I feel that everything seems to be going wrong, perhaps without finding the solution, I always think about what I would like to do in that moment and it would be to run out to anywhere but far away. I believe that any bad moment would have been better if I had done that. And this park was ideal to do it. It was enormous, full of a green which caught you and made you feel like being anywhere and in the most beautiful place of the world at the same time. I was really happy to be there, and I wanted to learn as much as I could from all the people that I knew I would meet. In fact, that day I met the person who, now I know, I really admire. I will call him "H". I didn't know as much english as I would have liked so I didn't understand everything he said that day but, fortunately, there are something universal in this world: a smile. He was one of those persons who always shows one to everyone he is speaking to. One of those persons that I will never be able to define because I can't even describe. Our lifes, by luck or destiny (or whatever thing that you believe in, as H affirmed) touch other lifes and never ever it is in vain. Maybe this first day my lack of knowledge of the language made me believe that I didn't have to meet this person and that that meeting would be indifferent for me. But at the same time that I was learning the language, I was learning lessons of my life there. Lessons that gave me, although without knowing it, all the people who was appearing little by little and the ones that I was meeting every day when I was in front of all the London's streets and some free atternoons. And that is the main reason why I am writing those lines that I hope one day make someone, although momentarily, smile.
