The idea of this notebook was born during a conversation, one of those that are happening all the time in corners of the planet but that sometimes stay there. Everyday conversations that disappear along with cookie crumbs on the table of a cafe in some corner of some town or city; sometimes, due to lack of impulse, sometimes due to distraction amid so many digital stimuli, and other times, due to lack of something straightforward: paper, blank sheets to write down ideas, notebooks without lines or grids, without dry as dust quotes that could be distracting, simply empty sheets, the perfect invitation to create again.
The conversation that hot afternoon was about creating change in this world. To inspire a questioning of traditions, norms, things we as society do often without further thought.. such as fireworks, overconsumption, mass-destruction of forests and nature in general.
The state of the planet at this moment is the product of an automation of existence in which sometimes it seems there is not enough motivation to go outside the script and create new universes, the clear path towards a cataclysm that originates in conformity.
And so we began to create, from love, from hope in the possibility of change, our own notebooks, which are actually a subtle invitation to put aside conformity.
An invitation to feel, to observe what we do, say and believe we are in our daily lives, an invitation to remember that perhaps so much creativity is not only to rejoice by inflating our ego, but better, to contribute something to a planet in which, supposedly, we are the most intelligent species, therefore, don’t you think that then we are the species with the greatest responsibility to care for and protect this great garden, the planet, our home?
