Loss

Mas La Plana, Santa Maria d'Oló (Barcelona, Spain), August 2021   Just when I feel some certainty about being over lived losses, something always comes up to send me barreling back to a distant starting point. I then tell myself to man up, to toughen up once more and deal with the dreadful fact of being helpless against destiny. I go get my armor, stand up and go fight just with my hands, with whatever I have or know of: I am sure I will prevail, certain to never make the same mistakes.

Afraid No More

Mas La Plana, Santa Maria d'Oló (Barcelona, Spain), August 2021 Don't be afraid of being who you are of feeling what you feel, of living what you live, even when you feel your life is not exactly yours, it is just Life: Nothing else matters.

(Ex)Past

  Cementerio de la Salud, Córdoba (Spain), July 2023 The past, your past is back, it arrives, thou, to a different you, who is no longer easily dazzled, who knows how to gaze at the horizon with the eager curiosity of an explorer and the wisdom born from experience. The past, your past is back and you turn it into your present, you season it with what you have lived, you glaze it with knowledge and faith, you live it then just as new, you change it into future past. The past, your past is not back, it still is present, your present; no need to change new to past, no need to change past to new: it is just life happening on and on.

  Platja de Puçol (València, Spain), April 2023 When the harrowing sensation sets in that your time no longer belongs to you, the only way out is just resisting indolence and keep on moving.
