  • The dreams of past lives

    The dreams of past lives

    In the land where dreams are woven, he found that everything is possible And after much wandering and countless hardships on the road, he finally arrived to lands unknown to men…  the domains where new dreams are woven, and the many-times lived, worn-down dreams, are repaired, together with the failed, broken-down, sad dreams.

    The fluttering of the butterflies

    And every time she saw him, she felt butterflies fluttering inside.

The ripples reached all of them, as it may, as they spread out to tickle not…

  • Ripples in the pond

    Ripples in the pond

    And so he realised the impossibility of moving, without the world also moving along with him. As it happens, when a child needlessly plays the morning away, throwing pebbles towards the centre of a pond, they fall generating tiny ripples that propagate towards the shores of the pond. So, it was that the innocent and…

  • A world below the colourful tarps

    A world below the colourful tarps
