Look down to this picture.. my beloved town, shines in gold.

see, this is my shell of love, my Florence...
Awww :)
I love this picture I took last year... it's so romantic it isn't?
Well, I am online waiting for Jim or Cassie to catch me in Yahoo...
Miss them enormously , though they are always so near to my heart, it's hard not to feel them along anyway.
But I want to speak with them, and know how their lives are goin.
I wish they could be either in Florence or LodiVecchio for my BDay...
Yes, cos on the 16 and 17th I celebrate Bday three times: on sat evening with Florence creek, on Sun morning with parents and relatives.. then I go back in Lodi to celebrate it with Lodi's creek.
Hope to survive all cakes!
Yesterday I met again kids. They can be so adorable.. in their eyes you can read so much their hearts not always verbalize. I hope to be able to help them the way everyone espects at organization. I feel I will.
So that beside my BDay, it can be everyone's bday every single day.
Oh.. and I am listening to Kent.
Micke.. ou always are marvellous :)
The very special friend you're always gonna be :)
Kiss :)

my Bday come.. I feel the urge of getting back HOME...

Can't wait to be back to my Florence...
I know.. Love makes every location be your "home"... but really, can't wait to get back to Florence this saturday.
It will be just for 40 hours, just to celebrate with parents and old friends my BDay...
Don't know why I am getting this nostalgic today, I just feel so.
But this past night Stef hugged me tight in bed.. and in that I felt HOME truly.
I'd be feeling so even in hell with his arms wrapped around me :)

I've been in Rome during Pope's Goodbye

Needin time to make things worthy...

... I have been part of history... well it's not really what I was there for.
Many I think have been struck in that feeling, missing the point in the whole of the days of mourning for the Pope.
Too many pics.. why take them? why break that beautiful spiritual silence with flashes and phone cameras sounding?
I found it very offensive.
Very "modern times": shallow, useless and ephemeral.
I was there to see if Greatness still inspire, something that would not be fanatical.
I saw humanity. I liked some of that, I disliked some of that.
I guess that was very expectable.
I came back from Rome with kind of hope people can still talk about peace and love.
With the assurance people in the end WANT love and peace.. it's just that we can so easily forget that, and bend to indifference and hate.
But in our core, we all want peace and love.
I decided while in Rome these days I want to take some time up for helping others valuably.
Not in any religious way, just because I reckoned how much any single one can do to ease others's troubles.
So I am gonna be not much in internet and spend time for laical associations for kids.
I'll be using mails.. and try to update the site and maybe visiting forums.
It's just that I don't feel like painting for a while.
I want to hear kids laughing, and know I have helped them to find hope again in their future.
Thanx for keepin inspire me this beautifully, Great Heart of Humanity.
World can be such a surprise, everyday :)
Love you all :)
Kisses, meli :)
