ABOUT ME

Immigration and human rights lawyer at the moment.

I was a student in Mexico, and also in Washington DC and in Switzerland. But then I came to China, and perspectives changed completely. “Every trip is a long journey home. Some journey could take a lifetime. Could take two lifetimes. Could include other people's. Is there a home in the end? Is it a moveable home with hydraulic legs? Did I ever leave home?

Life used to be simple.

PHILOSOPHY

rejoice in the void;
embrace the absurd;
keep in mind the brevity,
the urgency, the necessity
