RABBIT HOLE
She climbed up from the rabbit hole and decided to leave. Not because that place wasn’t fantastic, but because it was not her place meant to be.
She climbed up from the rabbit hole, tears coming down on her face.
āWhat a wonderful thing it is to dreamā,
And, just as she was doubting her decision, a shy smile started to appear as she whispered
ābut more wonderful it is to liveā.

AWAKENING
And there she was, watching the sunbeams pass through the green leaves of the trees.
Appreciating the little rainbows they made and the play of light and shadow that appeared around her; enjoying how the pollen molecules danced as they fell, as if they were creating a show just for her. And all this, just two days after seeing the snow fall under a dark and lonely sky, creating an inexplicable silence and emptiness, without a trace of life.
āDid I finally escape from that cold and desolate place?ā she wondered.
Then a small voice emerged from the depths of her being, almost unrecognizable due to the long time she had been kept silent, but now she had finally managed to escape from her prison and struggled to be heard above all the noise of the other voices.
āYou have always been in the same place, my dear, but you stopped focusing on your garden and didn’t notice the weeds choking your colorful tulips. You didn’t notice how the daisies withered in the absence of sun or how the butterflies stopped coming. You forgot to water your roses and leave seeds for the birds.
But that no longer matters, my love, because the trees are stronger now, since they learned to survive that winter cold and the flowers do not hold a grudge, but show all their aromas and colors, thanking you for a second chance. Thanking you for being alive.”

HOW ARE YOU?
Screaming, dimming, crying, feeling.
Thinking, drinking, trying, breathing.
Sleeping, burning, falling, leaving.
Spinning, numbing, dying, grieving;
staying.
Speaking, loving, fighting, hoping.
Healing, working, writing, growing.
Living, thanking, smiling, glowing.
