The Book of Genesis

Rio de Janeiro, March 2020

In three month they will turn three years old. And this is what happens when they listen to the high notes of Maria Callas: a variation of Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam on the Sistine Chapel‘s ceiling.

Haven‘t we been thinking lately more than usual about creation and destruction within the last few weeks due to fear of epidemic death?

Destruction of precious lives, of careers, of stability on the stock market, of intact societies in small villages or big cities, of believe in governmental control.

Or creation of solidarity in small villages or big cities, of admiration for medical care workers who risk their lives, of scientists in search for a solution, of pragmatism and sobriety….

For the first time we have no idea what‘s going to happen in the near future as plans change quickly adapting to current circumstances. We are thrown back on our cold feet, letting us know that the most important thing is

HEALTH

and nothing else matters.
