In memoriam

Back

“Sempre m’impressiona que m’impressionin coses quotidianes. Un dia arribo a  casa i em sorprèn la posta de sol. I el sol es pon cada dia. I despertar-me al matí amb els roses i vermells de la sortida del sol. I el sol surt cada dia. O la sortida de la lluna. Aquest matí, en tornar de passejar la gosseta, m’he quedat bocabadat amb l’explosió de flors de “prunus” del jardí. I el veig cada dia.

Quantes coses deixem passar davant nostre sense aprofitar l’oportunitat de sentir l’emoció que ens regala cada moment. I hi ha moments a la vida que, forçat a caminar més a poc a poc, descobreixes moltes coses tan emocionants com quotidianes. Disfrutem-les!”
