    “A white thread ties my blood vessels at the exact moment when a religious procession walks by.”

    I remember the first time I read it what an impression it left on me. The entire poem is like this.

    The ending is so creatively perfect, my dear friend.

    Sending you hugs, love and many blessings. I hope you are having an amazing week.

  10. Words have no pigments and no form. Their register sinks in gravity…

    I love this part in particular… the reflection upon language within an art piece composed of language…. it profoundly speaks to me.

      1. My pleasure, my pleasure, my pleasure🙂
        I’m doing so well. It’s getting very cold here, but it’s wonderful otherwise. How about you?

      2. If it’s cold please take good care of yourself. Write. Be loved. Invent new worlds. How am I doing? I am ok today, but has been hell. And it’s goin to be hell next week too. So am I trying to enjoy today. 🙂
        Abrazos 🙂

      2. I am glad to hear you are great. I badly sprained an ankle but otherwise I am ok.

      4. Thank you for the good wishes. I hate to write from bed. But I’m trying to get used to.
        You stay safe too.

  31. I have majored in these three with a minor in kindness and compassion, but I am not sure I am yet a professional. I so enjoy your surprising phrases and your unexpected quick-painted backgrounds.. in other words your style is always fresh and captivating…

    1. My dearest Karima, thank you so much for your beautiful comment. You made my evening. You are right. Kindness and compassion should be added. “but I am not sure I am yet a professional.” Who can really measure that? I love your writings. You are fantastic.
      Sending love
