When I was young I went to the church to please my mother. I was contemplative during the mass. Sitting and watching statues, some of them uplifted my spirit and some I found interesting. These precise moments moved me later on in my life. There is something, I don’t know what it is exactly, that brings the same feeling, maybe the suffering or the decline.
