Yes, as you say, it's actually quite simple: just stop and take the time to look around. It's perhaps become so rare that it's as obvious as breathing (?) - And in the end, breathing well is not so obvious after all !
I'm very happy you found this beautiful edition of this one story ! Coloane quickly became one of my favorite writer and storytellers. His writing is simple but elaborated and we can feel that I lived a lot if not all this stories :) When I read his novels and short stories, I love to think about Gabriel Garcia Marquez in an other tone, but with this coming modernity that could still be found a little bit romantic at this time..!
Thank you for letting me know about,
I wish you a good week 🌺
