to write or not to write?

Yesterday evening I was reading a book about Yoga - a book that my mother gave me, a couple of months ago.
While a was reading with interest the meaningful inspirations about the importance of meditation and breathing correctly, my Love, my Witte Haai was writing.
He, after one year or so, yesterday has started to write again - I presume, a little novel. I like the way he writes, immediate and misterious at the same time. I was quite happy to see him writing again.
And then I thought: why did I quit to write poems? It was my favourite way to approach writing, and it has always been together with singing and painting the activity I like most.
Of course, none of these have been carried out in the recent yearS. Embarassing.

anyway. It is never too late to take back what I have and let it grow again. And because, as I've just written yesterday, I am backing up my docs in the computer, I found this old thing I wrote three years ago.
Well it's in Italian, but I don't want to change it in any other language. Every thought is meant to be in a specific language. This is in Italian and will remain like this.

L’esistenza in questa vita è un ambizioso e breve viaggio

e noi siamo i viaggiatori

che con coraggio e ostinazione

cerchiamo di essere vincitori.

Ma qual è la più grande vittoria,

il successo, il denaro o la gloria?

È un quesito senza risposta,

poiché tutto è perituro

e la vittoria materiale è tanto vacua quanto insoddisfacente.


Quello che resterà di noi

Sarà l’amore che avremo saputo donare

Sarà la ricerca della conoscenza che saremo riusciti a coltivare

E la consapevolezza e la gioia che niente potrà cambiare

il nostro ritorno alla Luce, alla fine del tragitto,

il cuore colmo di gratitudine, per essere giunti al Termine e al Nuovo Inizio.

once again

Here I am hopeful again, and I can say that I feel this way since a short while, but my intention is to keep this feeling forever and ever...
This blog is meant to be a public diary, with thoughts and inspirations readable from everyone - eventually, my friends read this blog, especially Alfio who is in Italy and does not reach me so often as my friends here (where? here!).
Today is a bright shiny day of the end of February, and in this period I am doing mostly everything and nothing. So basically it's difficult to explain but I certainly keep myself busy.
Time is precious and so are people we meet, so why loosing our time in doing something we don't like or in dealing with the wrong people?
This is why I have taken the decision to move out from my room (two meters per five, 400 euro a month, no window but an annoying door directly to the garden, no privacy and two neurotical flatmates). I lived in Oud West for almost one year, and I had to deal with an utterly impolite landlady and I think I did my best in bearing her stupid behaviour for a reasonable period. Now I think it's time to move on and begin new endeavours in new fields and interests and I'm certainly not interested in wasting my time with her unreasonable requests any longer.

Once again I am here writing in this blog some of my thoughts. In the end my plan was to build up a site about politics and immigrants rights and all the bla bla bla that is around this because THIS is what I care most. But I didn't so far. I am just writing this blog. Why? Why I haven't started yet with my plan? I have no clue, I think I have no excuse. I should have begun with it long time ago but so far I simply didn't .
But let me say, one thing at a time. I finished my thesis (sorry to bother, my third thesis, and few people can understand which kind of pain is that) so I just started to LIVE again since a short time.
Once again I am cleaning up my computer, and my coming next plan is to install UBUNTU!!!! and make partitions so I can use both Linux and Windows
Once again I finally decided to move out and starts new projects.
Once again, I am coming back to all the plans I had to hybernate for all the time I was involved in the last two masters. Now I can come back to what I care most.
Once again.
