  Full Moon, Puçol (València, Spain), June 2022 A patch of gloomy dark gray in an otherwise clear blue sky, shadows threaten to overcome. Near the precipice, close to the edge, close to falling again. There I stand up smiling, looking life in the eyes, pushing forward. Still flirting with sadness, but daring a challenging smile, pushing through. I find the rhythm, I dance all day long to the beat of my heart, just content with life, alone, but happy.

Lake Constance, Germany, August 2009 When you still did not want me, I already loved you, when you did love me, I just carried on. When you loved me no more, I resisted to leave, though I caved. Today I still love your memory, but I am still alive and kicking and know for sure that one of these days I will love and share again my life and my dreams.

From my office , València (Spain), June 2022   If I could choose between you and solitude, I would choose you, no doubt, and leave loneliness behind. I would choose a life with you following your lead, your tracks in an intense exchange of love in a state of flux. If I had to choose between your presence and being alone, a life with you would win. However, as decision seems to be looming around and staying away, I choose in the meantime to stay put and make friends with my solitude.

  Mas La Plana, Santa Maria d'Oló (Barcelona, Spain), May 2022 Dizzy from leaving known behind, from leaving home-like routine, from leaving your comfort zone. Dizzy in a new, tireless -though tiresome- unstoppable world, no holds barred. Dizzy, for time never rests. Dizzy before uncertainty, vigilant, in wait. Dizziness which changes into light, certainty, into peaceful calm. Dizzy for a new day, for a new way… and happy.

  Marjal dels Moros, Puçol (València, Spain), May 2022 Quiet, limited, spartan space, confined alone in my world going from feeling like in jail to experience just calm, peace. While in my cell I go into my mind freeing my angels, my demons; flying unbound toward the horizon getting drunk with bright light. I change my beloved cell from cloister, from jail into an endless space: my imagination flies, my conscience awakens: a home, boundless, unmeasurable.

Puçol (València, Spain), May 2022   Do nothing, just be, and do it long enough, until completeness, until perfection. It is easy to get there… Just be yourself, just let yourself be, everything is all right. It is easy to stay there. Everything will fit easily into your plans, into your life: just be.

  Cap Saint Vincent (Portugal), March 2006 So many years trying to be a shelter, to be that safe haven, that someone to go to, that I forgot myself. Now, after the drought, after having been alone for much too long, I find myself safe again. Finally, the time has come to be again a shelter, a go-to, a safe haven, this time, though, to myself.
