In loving memory of Nube
Today is a paradoxical day: unexpectedly, the sky got one more young Nube (Cloud), and I got one year older. Nube, my non-human friend, return to the ground today; the same date in which I first breathed some decades ago.
Death comes, many times, without warning and as a reminder of the value and volatility that life has, in an ever changing world.
Today two of the most powerful forces of human life come together in my mind: consciousness of my life and consciousness of death. Their confluence gives rise to a strong feeling of appreciation for life itself.
Less than a day ago I was planning to launch this website for my birthday; today, with the natural pain that comes with a loss, I want to pay homage to Nube, and to our non-human friends and the beautiful engrams created in our brains by their uplifting, unconditional and loving company.
