“Because the essential characteristic of what we call madness is loneliness, but a monumental loneliness. A loneliness so great that it does not fit within the word loneliness and that one cannot even imagine if it has not been there. It is feeling that you have disconnected from the world, that they will not be able to understand you, that you have no words to express yourself. It is like speaking a language that no one else knows. It is to be an astronaut floating adrift in the black and empty vastness of outer space. I'm talking about that size of loneliness. And it turns out that in real pain, in avalanche pain, something similar happens. Although the feeling of disconnection is not so extreme, you cannot share or explain your suffering. Conventional wisdom already says: Fulanito went crazy with pain. Acute grief is an alienation. You shut up and shut yourself up. "

The poppy is a wild and delicate flower. It has been used for a long time as a symbol of peace, sleep and death. It is a special flower. It does not allow to be cut, it decomposes and falls apart quickly. The brilliant color and vibrancy that it presents in the field does not last even a few minutes in our hands. If we want to keep it, to make it remain, it will be necessary to elaborate it, work it in such a way that it does not spoil. The resulting, imperfect, nature will be much more complete and elegant… and will remain.
Love and beauty are the two fundamental challenges of the human being and it takes a lifetime to understand them.
Beauty repairs.
