The drafting of the new book is taking up all my time and I can not find room for anything other than writing of this experience with Fabio. Time passes quickly, and to retell what I experienced in the desert when we did the crossing together requires a lot of concentration affecting every moment and every thought. I always say that for me to retell a story effectively I must get back mentally into the desert to relive every moment: it's like walking along the same path again, and the fatigue at the end of the day is the same.
In this book, the difference is that it is the story of both of us: each has written of this experience in a different way even though the emotional similarities are obvious and to reconcile the narrative of both is not always easy. It is still a great adventure to create a book and to think we are passing on our thoughts is a great privilege.
And so.... we go ahead! With hard work but also with great satisfaction. And sorry if sometimes I go away................. but you know where to find me: I am there, in the heart of my beloved desert.
