“There are special, rare people who you do not meet by chance, but arrive as a gift from heaven. They reach out to you to encourage you, to be there for you in fragile moments, in the instants when the world seems to collapse on you. These people are part of that thin space of life, defined wonder.”

Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer

Original: Esistono persone speciali, rare, che non si incontrano per caso, ma che arrivano come un dono dal cielo. Ti raggiungono per incoraggiarti, per esserti accanto nei momenti di fragilità, negli istanti in cui il mondo sembra crollarti addosso. Queste persone fanno parte di quel sottile spazio di vita, definito meraviglia.
