I’ve finally noticed it: I’m invisible. Perhaps it took me so long to realize because my dearest ones, used to my company and my way of being, (more…)

I am always very aware of my inner space (I am not sure it is that ‘inner’ anymore). There are days when I feel some kind of abstract uneasiness, something that is not feeling right, some kind of fuzzy open loop, (more…)
