4 Combustion

There is love of all kinds. There is the primordial love of a mother for her newborn, almost an extension of her own love for herself made flesh and bones. There is the love for our siblings, full of on the grass stargazings, meals shared, quarrels dissolved over a chocolate bar, and many ear lending to the maladies of the heart. There is love for our partner in life, a long contract with many amendments with the aim of growing together into adulthood first and old age later, dyed with the sepia tones of many pijamas on the late Sunday afternoons and sparkled with the great moments of life: giving birth, moving into a new house, the milky breath of the little puppy trembling on a lap, the dreamed tree planted in the small garden.
