• De mi madre vino la idea de que bajar al mar reparaba el espíritu. Por allí caminaba cuando estaba triste o preocupada o se sentía sola por mi padre. Si había estado llorando, volvía serena; si se había ido enfadada con nosotros, volvía de buen humor. Así que, naturalmente, creíamos que había un efecto limpiador, purificador; que dejar que el viento fresco soplara por tu mente y tu espíritu, así como por tu pelo y tu ropa, purgaba los pensamientos negros; que contemplar el movimiento incesante de las olas calmaba un espíritu enfurecido.
