Staying does not mean standing still. There is someone who remained close to someone for years, in a favela or in a suburban house, and precisely in that not leaving they set something in motion: a life that changes, a work that endures. Works stand the test of time not because they are well organized, but because someone chose to be there and to return every day. There the good is born and grows, and takes root.
