"On Earth, before writhing and printing, there was always poetry..". (Pablo Neruda, Chile) Every human being has a talent, a hidden art. We need to reach deep inside us and discover it, so that we can find a conduit through which we can express our individual and unique way of thinking and perceiving the world that surround us. Through writing of any genre, the writer gives birth to his self-expression, bringing to light stories that come from his wealth of experiences; including the ones he was taught, according to the stereotypical rules and regulations of a bland society, and those learned by living them on his own. As a storyteller, I yearn to convey positive values and messages of harmony through my writings. To me, the fictional characters created by a writer are like laboratories of the human soul where the art of storytelling, in conjunction with the metaphors of poetry, create an intercultural environment in which the characters live. This Collection of short stories and poems, narrated here with a mixture of nativism, naturalism and romance written in a humorous manner, glimpse into the life experience of the writer; starting when he finished his studies until he left his homeland to embark in a new journey in a country where the customs, language and idiosyncrasies were different. In brief, These humanistic short stories and poems where penned for the delight of the reader of any age whose mind stays pure and young. "Break Time stories" were compiled as best as possible. Their objective is to entertain and deliver a message of peace to all the people whom, in their own way, struggle every day to become better. More than giving directives, this short book gives the reader suggestions.... Because life is like that: it comes and goes through you without much explanation. ------- "Sobre la Tierra, antes que la escritura y la imprenta, existio la poesia" (Pablo Neruda) Todos los seres humanos tenemos algun arte escondido, y depende de cada uno en descubrirse a si mismo para saber cual es nuestra habilidad en mostrar a los otros nuestra forma de pensar o ver el mundo. Las narraciones de cualquier naturaleza son formas en que el escritor se expresa a si mismo, sacando de su interior ese cumulo de experiencias guardadas entre lo que le ensenaron, de acuerdo a las normas y reglas del estereotipo de una sociedad, y las que aprendio por su propia vivencia. Como narrador tengo la intencion de transmitir valores positivos y dar a entender mensajes de concordia, ya que para mi los personajes literarios son como laboratorios del alma humana en donde el arte de la narracion, en conjuncion con la metafora de la poesia, crean un ambiente de interculturalidad de personajes. Este compendio de cuentos cortos, poesias y letrillas, narrados aqui con una mezcla de indigenismo, naturalismo y romanticismo, contados en forma humoristica, vislumbran las experiencias y vivencias de quien escribe a lo largo de su vida desde el termino de sus estudios superiores hasta que dejo su tierra natal al embarcarse hacia un nuevo horizonte en un pais donde las costumbres, idioma e idiosincrasia son diferentes. Son estas pues historias y poemas cortos con sentido humanistico, para beneplacito del lector de cualquier pero con mentalidad joven. Narraciones para un cafe han sido compiladas de la mejor manera, con la intencion de entretener; y, de ser posible, llevar un mensaje de paz para todos los que de una forma u otra luchan cada dia por ser mejores en el cotidiano trajinar de su existencia por este mundo. Sin tener un final demasiado explicado, este breve libro deja al lector suspendido en sugerencias... porque asi es la vida: muchas veces va y viene sin dar mayores explicaciones. In Appreciation, Jerry Gomez shor, Jr.
