August 2024

August (at least, in my world) embodies something infinitely great. It's the month when you're content with the most august of things: tiredness, how far you've come, merit or a moment of happiness you wouldn't want to forget despite its apparent triviality.

July 2024

Is July still the month of postcards? You'd have to be in a deep dive for July not to be synonymous with great discoveries. In the mountains, on the radio or in a museum, in the workshop, by the seaside or in the silent realm of a river...

March 2024

March. Third month of the year. But more importantly, spring equinox.
