Reading what you wrote reminded me of another time. I was happily reading Noticias del Imperio by Fernando del Paso—you know him, a master among masters. I think everyone should read it.
My children and family are my strength, but I couldn't fail to mention you and Kitty. Coming back here means returning to a space of art and reconnection; I always find the energy to create when you are around.
It saddens me to see the news coming from your beautiful country. The tentacles of empire are spreading everywhere, rotting everything they touch.
I hope all your loved ones are well; they are family to me.
