"I read to see in the mirror of stories my own transformation"

There's nothing to do. It's something only books can give you. And it reflects on everything around you, and makes it shine with a new light. Everytime.
The book I'm talking about is this novel by Danish writer Torben Guldberg. He's a new entry in my library, my new little precious jewel. God, he's so talented. He lefts me totally amazed in front of his pages, stunned yet perfectly at ease inside the worlds he created.



And this book is...Oh. ♥  So inspiring. So exciting. So moving. So nourishing.
It's like being totally absorbed in a world you've always been into and yet supping up from it little juicy drops of new consciousness.
And as Torben (yes, I call him by name 'cause I use to feel artists that touch me so much as close friends) writes, I love to read "to see in the mirror of stories my own transformation".


And I'm also glad it finds a particularly fertile ground here in this little red head, at the moment. These days I'm feeling so over-sensible, receptive and hyper-active and still relaxed that I cannot but feel blessed and say "Thank you". 





Maybe this is because I finally got relaxed for the Ancient Philosophy exam I had been preparing for months has gone and went well. Maybe it is because this exam session is over and now it is time to rationalize and prepare the ground for the last shots. Maybe it is because I spent the last days of study burning with a growing love for knowledge. And maybe this is because of the nice talk I had the other Saturday with two wise people, in front of a cup of Guinness and to the sound of the Lumineers and Mumford & Sons; it made me wake up so inspired and motivated, the next morning. I don't know. I think I'll just enjoy it. But keep on asking. 


And even more wonderful is to have such a partner in life. It may sound simple but I really like our relationship. And there's an aspect I particularly like. The way between us love is not only made with hearts and bodies, but also with the mind. The mind. Under the rain, walking endlessly and talking about philosophic perspectives, science, religion, universal and human history, geography and everything, sharing opinions, ideas and points of view, actually making philosophy and actually exercising scientific attitude in our small way, growing up together. ♥
