But we have to learn to be free.
Doesn’t mean happy all the time, or okay all the time.
It’s okay not to be okay. I told you that, but I’m relearning it myself.
But not being okay doesn’t mean you stop living.
Jasinda Wilder

Life is too deep for words, so don’t try to describe it, just live it.
C. S. Lewis

“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”–
Frances Hodgson Burnett








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.

Golden Gate Bridge
San Francisco, USA

This bridge will only take you halfway there
To those mysterious lands you long to see
Shel Silverstein
The wooden bridge. We went there to observe this bridge. Its not so stable, yet people are passing through it randomly, and we even saw some motorbikes were running so fast. They are not scared. But we were scared, thought it will break anytime. We loved the scenery though. The river water was not so deep. The boats are sailing. People are doing their jobs upon the river bank. Ahh! What a beautiful breeze by the bank of this river Korotoa. #roksanatales
