Mirar para ver
Para quitar el velo que me permitió mirar para ver ha sido necesario entrelazar dos caminos: La observación científica, pautada y con método y la calma interior que aporta la meditación.

Look to See
To remove the veil that allowed me to look in order to see, it was necessary to intertwine two paths: Scientific observation, structured and methodical, and the inner calm that meditation brings.

Hada es una palabra que viene del latin fatum, destino. Pensamos en las hadas y tenemos una diversidad de imágenes que con frecuencia tienen que ver con hermosas presencias femeninas, algunas veces de tamaño ligeramente superior al humano cuyo vínculo con el acontecer de este las hace casi humanas pero cuya presencia mágica y una valoración distinta las aleja enormemente

ELA´s patients’ residence
Very often I reach my limits and realize how much I could grow if I had the strength and the nourishment. This happened in particular on a visit to a hospital where patients slowly stopped being able to move or participate in the life of their own body. In this environment I felt inwardly excited and wanted to reach to the edge of the abyss I perceived as mighty. I wanted to have a look, to call them back. But then I realized, once more, that whatever I wanted to do was ‘overdoing’, it was ‘overreacting’.
