    About this ebook

    This literary work is conformed by seven chapters, two maxims and a personal thought about our brief permanence on a planet in a fragile balance. Certain geographical and cultural useful hints place us in the events of these stories. They could happen in the depths of Brazil, in the ancient monasteries scattered all around the eternal and far Burma, in the gray streets of the know industrial Liverpool, or explicitly in the extensive cliffs of Puerto Madryn, Province of Chubut (Argentina). The meeting (fate?), the action (the art!) of letting go of what is no longer necessary in our lives, the flexibility before the sudden changes, trusting the new possible directions of the journey through the path of our human experience. The connection with the beauty of perfection through the look of another being (a wolf in search of her cubs), or through the deep sounds emitted by whales ("they know about me, they know it all"). These short narrations, contain elements of all that is profound and true, and resonates in the underlying. Short stories that "have nothing to do with self-help books, these are just stories, looks and feelings with the desire to be shared with you", says the author.
