I thought that sometimes even the newspapers should use more direct words that do not satisfy the thirst for victory of the stupid and insignificant individuals who, behind the denomination of “bullies” believe they are exercising their power. They are but cowards. It is only cowardly who assaults another person for their sexual orientation, their culture or anything else that can be imagined as “different” … Continua a leggere Think Different
Dawn is the pink shadethat in the morning whispers its song,is the barely visible smileon the lips of a sleeping child,it is silencethat lights up with sounds,it is desireto give meaning to life.The sunrisewakes you up in the morning,offers you time,gives you time.

Sometimes I feel the weight of all the things that happen in our world as irrepressible. Indiscriminate violence, but to discriminate, hatred that is superimposed on hatred, interests that exceed other interests. All that should be dialogue becomes a monologue unheard by the same ones who pronounce it while trampling on each other. The experience of one does not become dialogue with the other, but … Continua a leggere Too Many Things in This World

Hands that caress, hands that clasp, hands that grasp with the fear of losing the moment of the sublime beauty of so much love. I would draw hands that beg for peace that we do not know how to build and hands that draw … Continua a leggere I Would Draw
Today, perhaps, the real challenge is to be oneself, true, real, without false images to offer to others as well as to imagine for themselves so that others can consider us more attractive and interesting.Sometimes we are so deviated from the image that we have to construct about ourselves that, if we looked at ourselves in the mirror of being, we would not be able … Continua a leggere Be Yourself
Because, you know, life goes on, all of it, not just yours. While you live there, so many things happen that you don’t see, but they happen anyway. Many of them you will never even know, but they happen anyway.
