Después de casi un siglo de espera, por dos generaciones, he podido comprobar que existe el colibrà nocturno, fue a eso de las ocho de la noche del seis de enero de este año dos mil doce que lo pude ver, me quedé inmóvil y maravillado contemplando aquella aparición. Mientras revoloteaba picó con tranquilidad las tres flores del cactus, que se ubica a dos metros y medio frente a mi ventana, y cuando hubo cumplido su objetivo continuó su vuelo surcando los aires de la noche.
Era noche oscura, como esta noche veinticinco de enero en que por fin me animo a narrar lo visto después de averiguar sobre la existencia del picaflor nocturno, y no hay nada sobre esto!, y por lo mismo nadie creerá lo que escribo.
Esto no es producto de la casualidad, no es una de esas diabólicas o celestiales apariciones, abrigué la esperanza que sucederÃa y por eso planté el cactus de siete venas frente a mi ventana en el año mil novecientos noventa y dos. Hice mÃa la esperanza de mi padre después de su muerte, hasta puedo afirmar que soy la continuación de sus inquietudes y frustraciones.
