For the love of my life .... Roberto!

Amazing Rainbows!

Whatever "storm" you are going through, when you see these colorful rays of light there is no way your day won't get brighter.  It's amazing when you look out your window and see this magnificent image.  They make the world more colorful in every way and just light up the sky!  So if you're feeling down and wherever you are and whatever is going on in your life... just look for that rainbow in your situation!  Make It A Great Day!!! :) Ciao! 

Sunrise

"Sunrise is the most joyous part of the day, it's like a warm hug from a friend, and an expansive feeling that the whole day is stretched out right in front me, with endless possibilities.  I have to admit that the second most favorite is the sun setting, and soaking in the few rays left for the day.  


Although there’s a quiet sadness to it, there’s also a calmness -- as the birds start to quiet down and snuggle up for the night.  And a great joy in knowing that it will start all over again tomorrow morning.  Regardless of how I feel and what melodrama my mind is entangled up in -- this cycle continues.  There’s a great comfort in knowing this.  A humility in moment of seeing that I’m just a very tiny part of the whole.  And nothing I do or leave undone is going to have the same effect as the sun deciding to take a day off. The simple joy of surrendering to a grander scheme of things. As my grandfather often use to say, “not even a leaf moves without His will.”  

The many lessons that nature has to teach me, if I stay close to it. Perhaps more significant than anything else I’m learning is, the importance of taking out the weeds when they are small. Because otherwise, it's impossible to water the grass without watering the weeds along with it."

Ti Ricordi Perchè

Da qui cominciano i ricordi 

e tu 

vai via senza saperlo 

ti viene fuori un "ciao" che sembra quasi dire... 

"Sò già che starò male" 

da qui cominciano i ricordi 

io con te dentro volo 

e tu mi sentirai passare 

se devi andare vai 

fai prima che puoi 

no non ti voltare 

da qui fotografo ricordi 

Sei il mio primo pensiero 

da quando apro gli occhi 

nelle mattine che si accendono 

su e giù fra pelle e cuore 

fino a spaccarci dentro 

fino a dimenticarsi e ritornare... 

Ti ricordi davvero di me? O ti ricordi perchè? 

I sentieri di pietra correvo 

e ridevo a te 

ti baciavo e sapevi di sale 

e di cose belle da fare... 

Ho un'immagine di te 

opaca senza tempo 

come una fotografia 

da qui cominciano i ricordi 

siedo fra l'erba e i fiori 

e lascio gli occhi al tempo 

così ritornano le tue parole 

"ti aiuterò ad amare.."me lo dicevi piano" 

fino a quel "Ciao" che ha fatto il mio destino 

si il tuo destino 

ti ricordi davvero di me come io ricordo di te? 

E' la luce di semplici cose che illumina 

ti ricordi che fare l'amore era dolce era forte 

era Amore! 

I sentieri di pietra correvo 

e ridevo a te 

ti ricordi davvero di me? O ti ricordi perchè?

è arrivata la primavera!

Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment.  ~Ellis Peters 

The Rainbow

"Sometimes when I am sad and lonely, 

I would tell myself 

that behind the thick dark clouds

there is a beautiful twilight of many colors

all I need is to have faith 

and believe

that the light will prevail and shine upon me,

guide me through the darkest hours...

You and I have been through many things.

I'll hold on to your heart.

I wouldn't cry for anything,

But don't go tearing your life apart.

I have seen fear. I have seen faith.

Seen the look of anger on your face.

And if you want to talk about what will be,

Come and sit with me,

 and cry on my shoulder,

I'm a friend...

And if you want to talk about it some more,

come stay with me and cry on my shoulder,

I'm a friend..."

"When the night, has been too lonely,

And the road, has been too long.

And you feel, 

that love is only for the lucky, 

and the strong.

Just remember, in the winter,

far beneath the bitter snow,

lies a seed, that with the sun's love,

In the spring...

 becomes a rose..." - The Rose
