Live without haste

ABOUT ME

I like imagination.I like trees (cedar, oak, olive). And theatre. And movies. And eggplants. And my bike (particularly at night). And reading and hearing stories. Inventing stories (best when together). I like to laugh and see people laugh. I like being and walking (and waking up) in nature. I love it when the light goes off at the cinema. I like chilli and mate. I like to listen to music, to be by forests or the mountains. I like food. I am obsessed with the sea. I like football. I like tea and coffee houses. I don't like to wear a watch. I hate being in a rush. I like to dance. I like time. I'd like to have more time to travel, to learn to dance, to drink tea (especially green). I like to walk and run. I love poetry. I like to dream and talk about dreams.I think there are more things to like than to dislike on earth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wrote all kinds of stuff here at first.
Then I found it all a bit ridiculous.
So I erased it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach all kinds of absurd little things.
You just have to ask.
