My boys are teaching me – among a lot of things – one important thing: being open. Being open for new experiences, new people, new places, new tastes, new colors, new feelings. For example, I’ve never dreamt of going fishing, cleaning fishes and cooking them. And when you open our fridge right […]
Sitting at the lake and trying to bring calm into my body. No way. Head is working. Where is the switch? Thinking of the yoga teacher and remembering a yoga posture. Body in quiet pose, head trying to concentrate on the breathing. Head rotating. Not finding the switch for the breathing. Giving up. Feeling […]
Everybody is gone: my boys on a cruise with their father, some friends in the States, in Greece, France, Italy and so on and on. I am traveling in my mind. I was again a student, hanging around at the river in Zurich discussing with my friends about Heidegger or Derrida, smoking my […]

Black Tomcat always stood up and left the place when Tigress, the Spanish cat, came in its neighborhood. Tigress stayed at home on the sofa, during Tomcat was chasing […]
It is a small world, my little mossy universe of thinking. A lot of tiny thoughts are turning their rounds; some are coming and disappearing as soon as they arrived. Some are turning and going round and round and round. It is difficult to have the big picture. I am crawling, moving my arms […]
My kid played the role of the Puss in the boots. It is a wonderful fairy tale about having nothing and getting everything. The only condition is to play well your role. Well, I admit this is a rather simple interpretation of the story. But it seems to fit to a program I encountered […]
