Summer Flow

“In the long dusks of summer we walked the suburban streets through scents of maple and cut grass, waiting for something to happen.” ―Steven Millhauser, Dangerous Laughter

How many time did we try to do this?

Summer is the hottest season, when all our feelings, passions, thoughts come up...

I come from the Sea side, I usually saw very stressed people coming for 10 days of "Summer Break", it sounds like an Holy Time to them.

After few hours, they even look different: smiles are wider and coming more often, speaking mode changes, it sounds more natural, clothes are shorts and easy-going... classic shoes leave the place to flip-flop, shirt are wide open....everything seems to be easier....

When they leave...wow...it is not so pleasant... they are sad, teenagers usually cry for their broken hearts, they were looking for love, they found it and now they leave it...99% forever...

We, local people, are used to this...nothing happens, we are over excited during Summer and we are sad during long Winter season....we are Season addicted....like a tree...green and bright under the sun...red and spoiled during the Winter....

Maybe, you are reading this post and holding on your hand a marvelous cocktail, your brain was switched off and now you are thinking: "What the f..k is this guy saying? I don't wanna even read those sad things.."

Yep!! You are right!!! As soon as you close this stupid post, you will say "This guy was right"....

How can we avoid this Summer Sadness?

1) Holiday will end: 

Sooner or later you need to pack your things and drive back home... 

Why don't you relax and try to be real?

It is your time, but don't play yourself around...life is life.

2) You are lucky:

If you are reading this post, 99% it means you are on holiday.

Spending your vacation time where you want, it is a beautiful thing.

Is that enough for you to feel lucky?

3) Learn something new:

It sounds very stressful, why should you spend time in learning something new, instead of enjoying beautiful party and great company?

Ehy... you are free to do what you wanna!!! 

If you really wanna improve yourself and feel satisfied, you should then at least know the history of the place, population, why not language??

You will remember it in few years, maybe telling it to your sons!!

 (I traveled a lot and that's a great thing to do!! Believe me!!).

4) Do what you like the most:

This is your time!!! Remember it!!! Never forget this rule!!!

If you like climbing, cycling, swimming, partying, hen do it!!!

Don't date people you don't like just to let your friends smile...don't do it!!

Do you prefer reading a book alone? Then do it!!!

ENJOY YOUR VACATION TIME!!! SMILE AND LIVE!!!!

Look at the Mountains

Hello everyone,

I am back after a long time, hope you are all doing fine.
It was a very busy time for myself, I had many new things coming up but now everuthing seems to be at the right place.
New Job, new challenges, bigger family... today I feel inspired, maybe it is the beautiful Alps view I have in front of me during, thanks to these very short vacation I took to restore my mind, spirit and energies.

Look at the mountains.......many writers, painters, artists, use to visit them, so that they can be inspired....
They can even spend 1, 2, 10 years alone in their forest, looking for the perfect moment, the inspirational view... when they finally find it, their masterpieces can be made, trying to repeat the mountains perfection.
Many of these creations are stored in our library, hook on our walls... but.....

How can the mountains inspire us?

They are not just simply rocks staying there for 10.000 years, they are unbelievable.

We can grow plants, feed animals, having fresh milk and breathing extraordinary air.... just from stones!!!

Most stunning forest are on the mountains (except for Amazonian and some others), we can refresh ourselves in 10 seconds, if we are lucky there is a river flowing in them and we can even drink extraordinary water.

Maybe, we find all of this magical and relaxing.

Big noises are far away, our boring flat is the last thought in our mind....If we just sit down and look at them, we immediately feel brand new, free and simply as we really are.

What can we learn from Mountains?

We can learn a lot from them, maybe everything...

They are strong and everlasting: we have always seen them, they don't disappear, the make us feeling protected and safe.

They move and change in silent:  we post our changes mostly on facebook, instagram, even worse, we complain or call 100.000 people to let them know about it...most of times are just stupid things we are changing...

They are rocks and all green, they give us positive energies: today I am inspired, tomorrow not...our mood changes everyday, mainly depending on what happens to us. Our life is mainly composed by reacting. Mountains are ROCKS but all green, they don't get angry and they don't live just on reactions... they keep on and give us beautiful views, the best of them!

They are made of stones, but forests, plants, animals, humans grow and live on them: this means EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Mountains can change due to the World's changes and let life springs on them, even if their natural composition wouldn't allow.

The older they get, the better they look: we are scared to get older and we waste our time to look younger everyday... Mountains don't care about this, they let the time passing by, they accept trees to be cut, houses to be built, climate changes, his animals to be hunted..they still have the power to love themselves healthy and welcome new guests.

They look at the Sky: they come from the deepest part of the Earth and go higher everyday to the Sky... they grow everyday without turning around, we won't see them doing it upside down. Their goal is to reach the Sky, the Heaven, we can feel it. Most of the time we say ''Look how high that point is'', they are unstoppable researcher, their faith is strong and alive.

Just few points based on my personal experience.... they are also modern, many sports can be played on them, hiking, biking, canoeing, and much more...

While you read and think about what I wrote, I suggest you to watch this beautiful video below.
