Puçol (València, Spain), September 2023 Just a new year, my Chinese year: a wooden dragon, an oxymoron of sorts, wood and fire, passion and quietness, powerful, yet fragile. Just a new year, my not Chinese one, though: dreams on paper, a bonfire of dreams, flames turned into a house, maybe even into my forever home. Just my year, no adjectives required: a dragon, wood, a home, a bonfire, life as a merry-go-round, me riding along just enjoying every single second of it.

Puçol (València, Spain), February 2024 An island no harbor, no beach; a cliff, strenuous, fearsome; a labyrinth with no Ariadne nor threads. An island my every fear within, only companions for me my memories of light and the crashing waves  tirelessly sculpting the rocks. An island forced to become an unassailable fortress, an uncharted isle, insignificant, but no longer in pain.  

Night in La Plana, Santa Maria d'Oló (Barcelona, Spain), February 2024 The magic of life lies in smiling,  in breathing and in knowing everything is perfect that way.  

El Micalet, València (Spain), September 2023 Now and then I look back, I see all the love I gave (I give) and how it is no longer given back, and I feel anger at the loss. Now and then I look back, I see all the love I gave (I give) and how it is no longer given back, and feel serene, it is right that way. Now and then I look back, I see all the love I give (I gave) and just smile as I look forward.

Monasterio de Piedra, Nuévalos (Zaragoza, Spain), August 2006 I dream of peace and wake up in a crisis. I sail through the crisis and get to calmness. I sleep in a crisis dreaming of peace. I wake up in peace, ready to start. Again.  

Arctic Circle, Rovaniemi (Finnland), May 2009 A camouflaged roundabout: merry-go-round of decisions, right ones, wrong ones, right ones, inexorably back to square one. A hidden way out of a roundabout: merry-go-round of ups and downs, up, down, up, down, up, down, back once more to square one. A roundabout, this time with an exit: I look back at the spiral way I leave behind, back, behind, away, and keep going till the next one arrives.

Puçol (València, Spain), January 2024 I still have to see the day in which carefree playing with words might obscure the sunlight.
