A newspaper ask readers to propose summaries of literature in 6 words.
Here is my attempt about Pinocchio.

She was saying after some time in her bed, when trying to move, with some difficulties and some pain.
But yet she was moving and she wasn’t complaining. Just shutting wide her eyes, when one was helping her getting up, or swearing if we helped her awkwardly.

But she did not stop.
I didn’t expect she could stop. I didn’t want to.

Some issues come up cyclically.  On 27 April 2004 I wrote a blog called Home exchange. I proposed our flat in Barcelona in exchange for some place somewhere in the world.

This year we have experimented the exchanging, first at the Cervino mountain and then at Lanzarote and it worked well.

And there is this story I am writing on heritage’s abolition: started in Chad, carried on in Ivory Coast and now alive again, in Belgium.

Now and then,I find some notes or some letter where I am reflecting on ideas or activities that I am again dealing with some years later.

Bad, good?  Who knows?
