I am passionate about life with what it presents to me at every moment. I understand that we come to learn, evolve and be happy. That mistakes are our great teachers as well as diseases. Working on acceptance helps us transcend because there are no coincidences but causalities and everything happens for a reason.

The importance of pause, silence, both in music and in life. Music like Life has rhythm. We define rhythm as the way in which a series of sounds (if we refer to Music) or life events occur and alternate. The alternation of the succession of events is carried out through interruptions, with the appearance, for example, of silences in a musical work or with a break in the work day for lunch. Sound-Silence, Work-Rest, pairs of opposites in which the pause or interval of time is coincidentally present. We need to stop at:  breathe like a singer does to express a new phrase or the night to start the new day. We need to stop at:  enjoy the strong and weak intensities of the beginning of Beethoven's 5th Symphony as well as the contrasts of autumn and spring. We need to stop at:  contemplate the change from one scene to another in an opera like the drawing of the rainbow in the sky formed with the appearance of the sun after the rain. We need to stop at:  feel the power of Music in our emotions. We need to stop at:  connect with the here and now of our Life. Take a break.

I have been a TED follower for many years. In 2023 I applied as a speaker but was not selected. After attending TEDxRíodelaPlata 2023, a before and after occurred in my life. I set out to obtain a license for my city and today I am celebrating that dream come true.
