When you are loved, you can do anything in creation.
-Hija mía, eres joven, tienes toda la vida por delante. Lee. Olvida lo que te hayan dicho sobre los libros, y lee.
My connection with Brazil is so abstract. My blood and my way of thinking is Brazilian, but that's it. I don't tend to go back to the past, and although I have an apartment there, I rarely visit. When I move, I really move.
I am 100 per cent Virgo, stubborn, over-organised, slightly abstracted from the rest of the world.
This may sound a little bit idealistic, but when I go to my blog, my Facebook page, my Twitter account, I talk to different people from all over the world, and you see how it's easy to establish a dialogue.

The only thing that relaxes me is archery. That's why I have to have apartments with gardens.
Love is a trap. When it appears, we see only its light, not its shadows.
In writing, I apply my feminine side and respect the mystery involved in creation.
I have been practicing archery for a long time; a bow and arrow helps me to unwind.
I was arrested three times and tortured once.
