Fernando Aranguiz

These are several short stories or definitely biographical stories where the allegorical is present in almost all the stories and it is something intentional because I cannot find a better approach to what I intend to communicate. All this material has a basic ingredient that I have called "ephemeral" because the essence of each story has as its central theme an internal experience that occurs in a space and time that is not important, but how that experience was structured. I define that "how" as ephemeral due to the characteristics it possesses.

Estos son varios cuentos cortos o historias definitivamente biogr ficas en donde lo aleg rico est presente en casi todos los cuentos y es algo intencional porque no puedo encontrar un mejor acercamiento a lo que pretendo comunicar. Todo este material tiene un ingrediente b sico que lo he llamado "ef mero" porque la esencia de cada cuento tiene como tema central una experiencia interna que ocurre en un espacio y tiempo que no es lo importante, sino el c mo se estructur esa experiencia. Ese "c mo" lo defino como ef mero por las caracter sticas que posee.

Fernando and Rafael have been very close friends since they were 10 years old, and since then they have been plotting and collaborating on many projects, many of them without much future, and others with some transcendence, such as "La Bisagra" and "Antoja" (multidisciplinary websites). But the greatest of all projects has been to participate in Siloism, which was the answer to a long-sought search they shared early on in their lives.This book is their most recent collaboration, Fernando as a poet, Rafael as a draftsman, with a production that has been giving informally for the last 21 years or so. Each one in his field, and in this book they have gathered their "notes" on different topics in relation to the internal experience and in two separate media. Much of this production revolves around the proposals of the "Silo's Message" on the internal unity, the sacred, the profound, etc., treated from a graphic and poetic perspective.

This is a book with 13 short stories and one long story. Mostly all the stories are based on experiences that I have had one time or other throughout my life. The title of the book is also a story in itself. A story that is close to how I experienced it when I was only five years old. These stories were written in the last fifteen years and in general they are about the theme of intuitions and internal realities that are not always visible, but are undoubtedly true. Truths that push us in a profound and human direction.

Cuentos en donde las intuiciones son importantes para comprender realidades interiores sencillas pero generalmente invisibles. Realidades que nos hablan de otros tiempos y espacios.
