In a life lived with the intensity of those that experience it to the fullest, the poet makes a pause along the way to analyze and recount that which he really appreciates and which truly belongs to him. And it is during this introspection that he discovers that nothing that is inherently human is alien to him. A discovery in which us, his readers, are both joyful participants and passengers to his personal voyage ???since Benedetti's poetry is, as should be the case with every example of this literary form, the launching pad for a journey to the deepest recesses of our souls.
