The coffee is excellent. Well, it sounds like I ordered it. Short. Very short. very short. Strong. and intensely. Opposite the majestic cafe, I ask the waiter with a casual accent if he is Italian. And no, it isn’t. I’m from Tel Aviv. But he knows the infallible secret to serving heavenly coffee: “I’m not Italian, I just know how to listen.” I am laughing. Even the river. And a few meters from the church of Sant Llorenç, I can’t help but think “just” while drinking those two glasses of my strong coffee. “Only”. As if nothing. It’s like everyone knows how to listen because they have ears. Days later, honorary doctor Maria Tresserra from Eivissa, in her speech after receiving the Cross of Civil Order, underlined the need for patients to rest. Let them talk, yes, but he listens to them. Don’t hear them, no, listen to them. Pay attention to what they say, read between the lines, interpret their words and silences. Only in this way (how much is hidden behind “only”) is it possible to know what a patient is and find a cure for his recovery. I listen to both, Ben and Maria. And I wonder how many generations it will take for people’s ears to run out. Considering how coffees are generally presented to me, I guess not much.
