Born in Córdoba, María Sánchez is a writer and veterinarian. For her, these two professions are a combination full of interactions and surprises. From her diary we learn that her days are filled with searches and encounters. María talks about houses and travelling, books and animals, flowers and fruit, the sun and the rain, the body and writing, land and women, love and friendship. ‘Last night I had dinner with Sofia and Paola. We were all tired. We were talking about how the days race by, about the speed at which things happen and how our bodies have to keep up. The signs are appearing. We need to stop, to do nothing.’ And so we see, in this passage from the ‘Book of Hours’ entrusted to Electra, how time is what we make of it.
