There came a moment, or perhaps many, it’s hard to say when exactly, in which I felt the need to gather what I’ve been writing, not because I believed it to be final or finished, but precisely because it wasn’t: scattered notes, short reflections, fragments of meaning collected over the years, most of them born during that lovely yet painfull phase of searching, when the work has not yet found its shape, and neither have I.
Uploaded here from time-to-time and in no specific order, these thoughts, often written in the in-between hours at RELVĀOKELLERMANN, are not answers, no, they are sometimes questions, or efforts at building concepts, or maybe just attempts at staying oriented when direction is still unclear and the landscape is shifting.
Some other texts were published in magazines, or newspapers, or blogs. Those cases will always be acknowledged and credited accordingly.
My offline archive has been a mess, I negleted it. So, to archive them online is, above all, an act of necessity. Because thoughts, like tools, must be kept somewhere, not to display, but to return to. And maybe, if shared, they can help someone else like they helped me: never as a map, but as the path left by someone just trying to make sense of things.
Hope some of these thoughts can be usefull for you too.
Love,
Ana Relvão
