Let go of the past
Trust the future
Embrace change
Come out of the cocoon
Unfurl your wings
Dare to get off the ground
Ride the breezes
Savor the flowers
Put on your brightest colors
Let your beauty show.

Unfinished – A Painting

Travel
Try to travel, otherwise
you may become racist,
and you may end up believing
that your skin is the only one
to be right,
that your language
is the most romantic
and that you were the first
to be the first.
Travel,
because if you don’t travel then
your thoughts won’t be strengthened,
won’t get filled with ideas.
Your dreams will be born with fragile legs and then you end up believing in tv-shows, and in those who invent enemies
that fit perfectly with your nightmares
to make you live in terror.
Travel,
because travel teaches
to say good morning to everyone
regardless of which sun we come from.
Travel,
because travel teaches
to say goodnight to everyone
regardless of the darkness
that we carry inside.
Travel,
because traveling teaches to resist,
not to depend,
to accept others, not just for who they are
but also for what they can never be.
To know what we are capable of,
to feel part of a family
beyond borders,
beyond traditions and culture.
Traveling teaches us to be beyond.
Travel,
otherwise you end up believing
that you are made only for a panorama
and instead inside you
there are wonderful landscapes
still to visit.
– Gio_Evan, poet and songwriter.

I Have Enough
And then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that’s not enough, what is enough?””
Be Different
The person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The person who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever seen before.”
Albert Einstein
Coffee break
Long long time ago,
This very special coffee time,
with a dear friend.
We had been planning to go to North End for having coffee-break over there, specially Fahmi always wanted to take me there, specially for the coffee-aroma that she loves so much, but we never could manage time, but suddenly, on that day, we just decided to go there! And it was great time with her, with all the enlightening things she always share! And it was her treat! 😊
Happy and grateful that we could get this coffee time together……
Life is beautiful!
Coffee and friends make the perfect blend.
