30th Jan

Smoke, the "rutrutrut" of scooters, and slow conversation with frequent laughter are the elements of the atmosphere here. We must look to places like these to learn how to live, how to build, how to last.

You spend your days relaxed and close to loved ones. You take your small doses of carbohydrates, meat, and alcohol, frequently. You indulge in absolutely everything but never gorge. You are patient and circumspect. You walk, don´t run, and know that your time on earth itself is a gift and that small pleasures are essential and deserved, everyday.

You last longer.

You live longer.

So many have forgotten these priorities and live in their fast, lonely, cyber worlds, adhering to ridulous dictates and diets, and failing to either notice or appreciate simple beauty and perfection when they see it.

Everyone must come to Barcelona to see how the patient ones live.
