Understanding nourishes belonging...a lack of understanding prevents it.
“I spent so long in the darkness I forgot how beautiful the moonlight is”
Romulus my Father (RMF) is a beautifully constructed memoir written by Raimond Gaita who prefers to refer to his life recount as not a biography but a ”series of poetry” that to me revels that he wishes the meaning never to be revealed, for then his story, is memories, his life, his love shall be dead.

• Victoria’s mother extraordinarily androgynous. Large chin, small waste and large shoulders.

• Victor = Man
• Victoria = Woman
• Very similar name, similar people, completely different backgrounds.
• Victor places the ring on a branch looking, hand, in which a ring does not belong on.
• This act transports him to a world here he himself does not belong.
• Into a world of...
