In this second part of the conversation, Filipa Leal, Portuguese poet and journalist, addresses various personal and universal themes. The conversation revolves around the "importance of being north," a concept she explores throughout the dialogue.
The poet also reflects on the value of late-life friendships, those formed in more advanced stages of life, but also on the pain of strong friendships lost along the way, revealing a more vulnerable and melancholic side of her personality.
Filipa Leal also comments on her adrenaline and intensity of life, characteristics that she says have not diminished with age, remaining as present and vigorous as ever.
Regarding her concerns, the author expresses worry about the current state of the world and about war, as well as reflecting on how nature seems to return a certain sense of unease to human beings. All these themes are imbued with poetry, including an unpublished poem that will be included in her upcoming book, titled "Amor chega em breve num Volkswagen" (Love arrives soon in a Volkswagen).
