Is it better to be concentrated on the moment and the details in life? Or is it worthwhile to have the big picture in mind? When I see the big picture, I see all the details which aren’t the way I would like to have them to be. It is like a Swiss cheese […]
Being a member of a society, being part of a team at work, being a member of a family, being a tiny part of a bigger organization means adapting oneself to the others. If I don’t feel like doing it, the sooner or later I get the information, I am not accepted by the […]
I don’t have a lot of memories of my childhood playing together with other children. Maybe, it is because my mother wanted us, my brother and me, to be around her when we came back from school. Maybe, she was feeling so lonely at home when we were at school and she was happy […]
Sometimes, pictures express the perfect moment. Perfect because everything feels all right. It is like a moment of meditation.

There are pictures, and there are stories. I look at the picture and I see the story, which wants to be told. I am standing with my naked feet in the sand on the beach. It is a very early morning. Nobody is already up. It is this time between the times: between being […]
It is a rainy day; school is off. The kids are playing, but not playing together; rehearsing a own play to invite their mothers to come and see.
