"He was a magnificent man with hands that smiled at anyone who knew how to look at them. His long fingers and the beauty of his gestures evoked poetry. But what made you dream was the rhythmic lilt in the tone of his voice and its ability to both speak and empathize."

Like a bird in flight, the reader travels across a borderless landscape composed of tales of daily existence, news reports, allegories and ancestral myths, becoming aware in the course of the journey of the interconnection of individual lives.
