At the gates of winter, for thousands of years, we gathered around the fire. Close to each other, we spent time telling stories of our heroes and how they always found their way home in the end. Each of us carrying in our hearts the hope of embracing others when the snow melted, not getting…

At an event a few weeks ago, I met a wonderful artist. In a few moments, he had enchanted the people admiring him.
