SPACE

Absent is Lisboa's space for time.

Rua da Glória 78.

No phones. Everything else.

Focus. Reflect. Connect. Wander.

Stare at walls. Lie on floors.
Do something. Do nothing.

Stay an hour.
Stay until closing.

Shelf with various board games, a potted plant with artificial flowers, and a large yellow toy LEGO brick container.
