"La energía sexual es una energía que puede compararse con el petróleo, dice el Maestro Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov: quema a los ignorantes y a los torpes (esta fuerza quema su quintaesencia) mientras que sirve a aquellos que saben utilizarla, los Iniciados, para volar por el espacio".

Una colección de recuerdos, contados con la sencillez de un niño y con la delicadeza de un poeta. Un tiempo (años 60/70) y un lugar (Talavera) que el autor recobra, fija y ordena. Y en donde, al fin, se reconoce y reafirma. Un libro que nos sorprende y nos traslada al mundo de las impresiones de la infancia y juventud, esas que definen el fondo de nuestra alma, y recupera para nosotros las emociones olvidadas al pasar de los años.
