Reflections about our believes, ideals and our lives’ Odyssey.

This book of poetry was written during the author’s time in treatment for a difficult illness. It is a review of his most difficult moments and physical challenges. It is a homage brought to his wife who took the most attentive care of the author during this time. It is meant to prove the case that human closeness and empathy remains the best way we have to confront life difficulties.
