Inner courtyard, poetry. “An inner courtyard for intimacy and self-care, for reflection, for dreaming, for enjoying the beauty of light in all its forms… But also for sharing it with a loved one and bridging the gap between us.” We now know that the streets are the space for building community, but the inner courtyard is the sanctuary for sharing friendship, the core of life, the sanctuary of what makes us human.” (Míriam Cano Motos)
