We find ourselves looking at the other. He becomes the mirror we look in and often, we are not satisfied with what we see. We see fragments of ourselves, shards of memories, many of them painful. And, in order to get over the experience of meeting those memories more easily, we avoid them by changing …
The other day I was talking to my friend’s adorable little girl. She was disillusioned that adults don’t play. I asked her what it means, in her opinion, to be an adult and she said that an adult is a serious man, who sits all day and works, and who does not know how to …
We become magicians by opening our souls, revealing experiences that take us to other worlds at the speed of light, to other times. Today I walked in the land of ice. I got caught in the nets of winter, losing myself in the white of the cloister. I felt the snow crunching under my …
To reach yourself means to climb step by step, putting aside the obstacles that appear in your way. Feeling helpless, the people who tell you that you can’t do it or that you are not on the right path. The right path is the path dictated by one’s own soul, not by the …
Whenever I eat chocolate, I’m reminded of the not-so-easy time I went through after college. I had very little money and most of it went towards rent and daily necessities. The only luxury I allowed myself was enjoying a small bar of chocolate, which I bought from the corner store. It was a coconut …
I recently re-read the story of the caterpillar transformed into a butterfly who, struggling to get out of the cocoon that covered him, was helped by a man who was passing by and, feeling sorry for him, cut the cocoon so that the butterfly can come out easily. But the butterfly could never fly. …
One of the few activities we took part in, on the ship, was the tango night, which was attended by people of all ages. I dance tango and this dance has always fascinated me. An elderly couple was also present. They were wearing smart clothes and seemed to have a powerful personality. They started …
Petra, the rosy city located in Jordan impressed me with the grandeur and omnipresence of the stone. Rocks everywhere you look. Only if you look up do you glimpse a strip of sky through the empty space between the peaks. Information were provided in all languages. People from all over the world walking the …
I will always miss the Orient. If the theory of reincarnation, which has been circulating more and more recently, is true, I believe that I have lived many lives in the Orient space, which might explain the familiarity I feel whenever I come into contact with oriental civilization. Recognized by Eastern religions but denied …
I like to walk barefoot. Through life, thoughts, and through dreams. To feel the transiency of dust scattered on the road and to remember that life goes by with every step I take, and that I go through life and life recognizes me. It waves at me and says: “You again. You are …
Last year we decorated the Christmas tree. For most people, a Christmas tree is just an object you decorate. For me, it is much more than that. It is the memory of the few moments of peace experienced in childhood. That moment when I could enjoy myself, when I built dreams that I …
The other day a friend told me that she is waiting to meet her soulmate with whom she can build a future. A fairly generalized conception, as far as I have observed, but very far from reality, because there is no half to complete us. There are people with whom we resonate and who …
I have always told myself that love is a dance for two, which involves movement in both directions. Just following the steps of one of the partners in the direction dictated by him cannot sustain the dance in the long run, ultimately leading to the exit from the stage. I listened to a tutorial …
