Un anno passa, un anno vola, un anno cambia faccia…..
It has been a long time since my last bulletin. Time runs fast and I often find myself chasing it.
Love has come, has gone away and maybe one day will come back.
Occasional friends change. I have been disillusioned by people I trusted, but new encounters have surprised me.
There is always a chat and a glass of wine; and there are new ways of feeling the cycle of time and season.
The two students who walked up and down the university yard in a magnetic game of gazes are still doing it, their longing made sweeter by its impossibility, desire and the passing of time.
Two other students got officially engaged. They came to my office to break the news: they were smiling and carrying a tray of baklavas. They now walk around holding hands: openly and light-heartedly.
We had the elections of the new Student Union and there has been a major change: we now have two girls in the executive committee. Girls ran for the first time for offices that were not solely concerned with women’s affairs. It is an amazing step ahead that fills me with joy and pride.
Sandstorms are less frequent and less yellow. They come suddenly can cover everything with a sleepy layer of melancholy.
