In this booklet, the reader will find fragments of text, poems, and a series of (ongoing) conversations. They are not here to give an all-encompassing perspective of the shared practice of attending to the voices we travel with, to the voices that come to us in our way through the world, but to leave a trace that both continues and deviate their trajectories. They are also here to set the ground for a particular mode of commitment with the historical and spiritual presence of those who could not breathe through the Modern fictions of progress.
