Umi Cafe

A transfer of energy is being summoned. While the parliament prorrogates,

we continue the turning of soils, and healing of a nation.
In that moment when we raise our heads to a short rest of reflection,

we wonder about our brothers and sisters far from our vision,

who work and toil close to our hears, cultivating the sustenance

of our beautiful lives...
