About Me

Keeping a sense of curiousity and wonder alive.
Travelling light.
Dog-earer reader.

"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle." Lewis Carroll

«¿Quién soy? Ah, ese es el gran acertijo». Lewis Carroll

That's the way I live... my way
I strive to find the centre of mandala, my excentric centre, my soul's kibutz.
I believe I believe in a marvellous and ungraspable thing, something many religions have given different names, but which I dare to think unique: love.

----------------------------------

Así vivo... a mi manera
Busco el centro del mandala, mi centro excéntrico, el kibutz de mi alma.
Creo que creo en algo inasible y maravilloso cuya nomenclatura, definida por diversas religiones, me atrevo a pensar única:amor

MUSIC... eclectic.... rock, pop, classical, jazz, symphonic rock, tango, fado, ethnic, fusion...

Honrar la vida- Eladia Blázquez: "No es lo mismo que vivir honrar la vida....Merecer la vida no es callar y consentir tantas injusticias repetidas.... Hay tanta pequeña vanidad en nuestra tonta humanidad enceguecida. Merecer la vida es erguirse vertical, más allá del mal, de las caídas...."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Asumir riesgos, vencer miedos, convertir sueños en realidad.

Sentir cómo la Negra Dama se apoderaba de la vida de una persona y ver a un hombre luchar contra ella y vencerla.

Observar un rayo caer sobre el mar en México (2009).

Vivir el terremoto en Santiago de Chile (Febrero 2010).

Nadar desnuda en el Mar Caribe, Little Corn Island, Nicaragua (2012)

Taking risks, overcoming fears, making dreams come true.

Feeling the Black Lady grabbing a man's earthly life and watching another man fighting - and defeating- her.

Catching sight of a bolt of lightining striking the sea in Mexico (2009)

Living the earthquake in Santiago (Chile), Feb 2010. Wowwwwwwwwwww
