• Una de mis recientes adquisiciones. Se trata de una bolsa de medicina, procedente de una de las tribus nativas de Norteamérica. Un pueblo fascinante, muy hábil en el uso del poder de las plantas.

• Hace muchos años que no se ven alces en Suiza. En aras de la exactitud científica, por favor, elimine la idea del alce de su mente. En su lugar, piense en íbices, un tipo de cabra feroz y ágil con grandes cuernos en espiral. Las marmotas también sirven, pero en ningún caso piense en alces. No. Alces. Los que no piensen en alces pueden continuar.
