The Currents received me at the shore—as if, indeed, they had been waiting patiently for my deliverance. Thank the Seven Seas that the water embraced me in my moment of greatest need, Mother, for I had no voice left to tell Benigno what he unknowingly revealed when he said you had healed him! Could the Currents have known his truth all along?

It all became clear as the water pulled me away, the very moment my ears filled with a sound I had prayed never to hear again!
