CHAPTER 1
TRIGGERS
Hoy far it is.
The ease & pleasure to express myself in my native language.
My grandmother’s food, bread and ciorba sarmale cherries.
The song of the sea in a shell, the sound of the wind in a field of wheat.
CHAPTER 2
HOW IT FEELS
Like the whole ocean encapsulated in jars.
Like the smoothly traveled path of my mother's fingers on my face.
Like growing a desert by the sea.
Like a mirror who refuses to show the real reflection.
Like a sunburn when you fall asleep on the beach.
Like being home away from home.
CHAPTER 3
HOW TO CURE
Become the home of another human being and stay in the perfect present.
