“Blue, dressed in blue, flying through the clouds,” goes a favourite song of mine, Volare by Franco Migliacci. Azul, “blue” in Spanish, reminds me of the radiant tropical sky I was born and raised under and El Salvador’s national tree “Maquilishuat” whose beauty against the blue sky is unforgettable. - Claudia Q
