A stay is not measured
in nights alone.
It is measured in the moments
that remain afterwards.
Arriving should not feel
like a process.
The door opens,
the suitcases come to rest
and time begins to move
a little more slowly.
There is no need to learn
how to be here.
Things find their place.
And so do you.
There are days for going out.
And other days for staying in
without feeling that anything is missing.
A light left on.
A conversation with no fixed hour.
The feeling of not having
to leave just yet.
There is no need to go very far.
Sometimes it is enough to walk,
look around
and let the place
do the rest.
Keys on the table.
A light left on.
The city stays outside.
And for a while,
nothing more is needed.
There are places that become part of the journey.
And others that,
without you noticing,
become the very reason to return.
Cartago awaits.
And so does Diana & Sans.
