I was, for over a decade, on a quest for the miraculous. Went looking for shamans, priests, wanderers, and madmen.

The immensity of my soul, however, can conquer in some of the days, the depths of the skies and water. But I am nothing, really, because I can not put into words, just how … Continue reading Nothing
