Because I want to have a sense of direction and community to attain my goals.

 I am a story writer and story teller.

 Hummingbird

 I love its lightness and the iridescence of its feathers.

 During my childhood, there was usually a cat at home and I thought my absolute favorite were cats. However, I had never lived with a dog but until recently and it is wonderful. It's a salt and pepper dwarf schnauzer. Besides, only for three years, I shared accommodation with the owner of a parrot and I was in awe of its intelligence and boldness. I think that only by sharing with different animals I can learn to appreciate their uniqueness and love them. For example, for years I had thought that I hated spiders but one day I met a girl whose pet was an orange knee tarantulla and was given the chance to touch the hairs of one of its legs. That experience changed my whole perception of spiders.

 I think that you cannot love but what you know. However, love guides you to wanting to know and leads you beyond immediate knowledge.

 Spinach salad with a freshly made dressing.

 I love the crunchiness of fresh and tender baby spinach leaves.

 Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Nezahualcoyotl, Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

 At my fantasy dinner party, people understand each other even if they speak different languages and play creatively with them. They all come from different paths in life but they share a common trait: ideals, values,and a vision not emprisioned to their minute lives.

 Antartida

 I don't like pizza.

 Gin and tonic

 A smoky tea: Lapsang Su Chong.

 Coherence: that my feelings, my thoughts and my actions flow in synergy. The virtue of perseverance, which is itself a necessary adjunct to each and every individual virtue, since, overall, virtue is a species of habit which, in order to maintain oneself in virtue, needs to be habitual. Wisdom, understood as intuitive understanding.

 Bach's Goldberg Variations. Mahler's The Song of the Earth. Brubeck's Take Five.

 To keep the streets clean.

 I was in Los Cabos with a dear friend. The sunrise was no less spectacular than the sunset.

 The detective monk in Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose.

 I like very much the combination of knowledge, wisdom and freshness to have a new look at things.
