Certificate Number: BAR 038/2023 RTI The space " Espelho D'ouro A place where I lose myself, where I am inspired, where I fall in love. Where I free my being and we breathe in all the good things we can feel. Love, yes love, the one that warms the heart with desire, with kindness, with simple and affectionate reason. The will, that will to live each moment as eternal and gigantic, as the carrying of a loving and caring soul that fascinates and infects everyone. The well-being, the fluidity of the day, the unloading of the frustrations of all routines, of difficult lives, where we forget all the abandonment of the country in matters that are too important for our future. It is through mirrors like this that life is worth living, in which the world is splendid and magnificent. My golden mirror, here I am welcomed and cherished, here I am happy. In you I recreate myself, in you I am infinite."
