METAL Nº 50

CELEBRATING THE NOW

I sit down to write this with a somewhat cross-eyed gaze, one eye looking at the past while the other heads straight for the future, almost skimming over the present without touching it, being here but not really. And yet today I force myself to be more present than ever, because sometimes the need to take stock imposes itself, the need to value the achievements made, to celebrate the path travelled, because as the poet said, the path is made by walking, and ours has brought us here: fifty issues and eighteen years. It’s easy to say, but suddenly it hits you with an overwhelming sense of vertigo.
