Meghan’s wedding to Harry was a joyful occasion, marking happiness at last for the Queen’s grandson who had captured our hearts 20 years earlier when he bravely walked behind his mother Diana’s coffin.

Las cosas suceden por alguna razón... y las transformaciones colectivas nos sacuden estando inmersos en procesos y circunstancias individuales, para que cada uno las viva, aprenda y transite a su manera, para destilar lo que cada cual ha elegido de esa experiencia, entretejida con el resto de nuestro caminar. Por tanto, cada historia que emana de la erupción volcánica que acaeció el año 2021 en el volcán Cumbre Vieja, en la isla corazón, La Palma, es única, irrepetible, intransferible.
