My friend Norberto from Brasil wrote, in a longer text with
thoughts after a trip abroad:
In that respect, revisiting places and meeting old friends,
has the dual effect of registering and incorporating changes,
and reviving old feelings through smells, tastes, images,
and in less extent sounds.
The name of the game is perfecting oneself, this endless game,
the increase of consciousness and well-being regardless of
our health conditions.
The feeling of belonging to someone, a family, a musical
group, a country, or the human race is always reassuring,
and it can be achieved by listening to a symphony,
looking to a landscape either in a painting or through
a real scenery, or trivially sharing one sorrows and hopes
with a long-standing friend.
This feeling makes us more humane, tolerant, and eager to share.
