I reached Madrid and safely got to Teresa´s place.
While walking in Plaza de Espana on the way to Calle Ferraz, I saw my shadow on the sidewalk. It made me think of a snail; just like it, I carry my house on my back as I move from city to city, take flight after flight, and visit friends. I wonder sometimes what am I looking for; I was asked not once about it so I consider the question every now and then while waiting for my next ride. I don´t have an answer.
There were times when moving around was thrilling. It does not seem so much that way anymore. Also, there were times when trying out new things all the time was the purpose behind everything I was doing; I feel I have tried enough not to have this as a purpose in itself but more as a side effect of being curious. It seems at times that what I want are simpler, unexciting things had you offered them to me some years ago but beautiful if I think of them now.
We shall live and see...
