Urban Hermit

On the forgotten corners of cities live philosophers no one listens to. The Urban Hermit was born from an encounter with a man who carried in his notebook thoughts that would never find space in society’s display windows. Here live his fragments: raw observations about the world, written by someone who watches civilization from outside its walls.

A Reminder to Dream

A warning against the fear that imprisons dreams and condemns the soul to silence until the day of death.

I Am Disturbed

A manifesto of disturbance in the face of injustices, hypocrisies, and hidden beauties of the world, concluded with a declaration of love for life.

Poetry

Verses on the duality between life and death, truth and lies, good and evil as forces that shape human existence.

Perishable Routines

A reflection on the ephemeral nature of things, the slavery of time, and the detachment of the ego as a path to valuing true moments.

The Soul

A reflection on the impossibility of defining the soul and the celebration of the real processes that allow us to think, love, and exist.

XI. Judge One Another

A reflection on social invisibility, the fear of judgment, and the impossibility of comprehending the totality of another's reality.

XII. Judge Yourselves

On how the judgment of others reveals more about the one who judges than about the one being judged, and the danger of living a reality that is not your own.

Living in Filth

Between voluntary myopia and the dust that accumulates on the soul, the filth of the world persists with no rugs to hide it under.

The Poet's Opium

Even in a utopian world of fulfilled dreams, there would always be the contrarian poet, dissatisfied and questioning, for joy is a matter of choice.
