1- Today is the first day I went to the river. I lost track of time and ended up sitting, resting with my dog, watching the geese.

2- Finally, they opened the passage leading to George Street. The passage has been cleaned, but students still use it to smoke and graffiti. I always wonder where the doors in the wall of that passage lead.

3- On Sundays, you always hear hymns coming from the church next to my house. I never see anyone coming or going, and the door always reminds me of a cave where if you enter, you might not come out.

4- I met up with Bernard to help him understand his grandfather’s camera. It was Soviet, and I felt like a child playing with something too complex to use. In the end, we ended up walking for a couple of hours and had a beer.

5- Mina always celebrates Sundays. It’s her day to roam free in the forest and play with other dogs. Today, they took away her ball, and she was too slow to catch up with the rest of the dogs in the park.

1 – The magnolia flowers bloomed overnight; the street on the way to the forest has been pink since the first week of April.

2 – Last night, I dreamed of my mother. That week, while the magnolia buds were getting ready to bloom, I found a medal with the Virgin of Carmen. Now I wear it around my neck, and even though I’m not religious, people see it as an act of faith.

3 – On Saturday, I met up with Dan to take Mina for a walk near the river. We spent over an hour playing fetch with her.

4 – Signs of the upcoming summer camps are beginning to appear in the forest. By autumn, the wooden tepees will no longer be there.
