Navigating the complex feelings following a death in the family is never easy, and while it does become more manageable in time, the hole it leaves is never fully healed. You’d think that having had several losses across the years would somehow smooth the impact, while in truth, it never changes. It’s not possible to simply be ready. It just happens, and you’re there, ill-equipped, fully unprepared to absorb the punch. I used to have well-established rituals, familiar lingo, enlightning convers...
Fleeting Glimpse
It'll be a while until I can be able to find any meaningful words to describe my 2025 Christmas. I’ve been living away from my hometown since 1996, which is when I started deluding myself with a now pointless certainty: the idea that distance would help my innate inability to accept things that end, people who die, and everything around it. I lost my beloved mother on the 25th, a thousand kilometres away from where I stood still during a devastating phone call. Standing there, listeni...
More About Noise
My latest post generated an unusual amount of email exchanges. The back-and-forth was fantastic, rich, and inspiring, pushing me to contemplate more ways in which noise affects me these days.

November has been silent, for the most part, with a lot of working from home due to health issues. Rewatching old TV shows at night, reading blog post and long articles, mostly the latter. Very little news, I’d say a couple of pills here and there, nothing more. It’s been a while since I naturally stopped my participation to Mastodon, or the c...
Tape Machine
A hazy feeling has caught on me lately. It’s almost as if a season has changed, within myself. Only coincidentally in parallel with Autumn replacing Summer, it left me troubled and a bit on edge. Can’t be exactly sure, but it feels like it goes beyond a recent loss in the family, or the flu that’s been bothering me for a week now. Over the last month or so, I haven’t been able to interact much online, except for a spike in email exchanges. Although, at this point, I tend to consider e...
