Our voice echoed. Our pain transformed. In it I talk about love, detachment, routine, the cities that cross us, the punches in the stomach that life throws, the unbridled heart, the pulse that guides the roads, the beginnings, the days, the nights, the dawns, the ends , the ways we do it, the transitions, the discs, the stumbles, the departures, the counterparts, the firm feet that insist on flying, and all that crazy and beautiful stuff that makes us who we are”.
