Le sorgenti del Meschio, visited on Sunday 12th of July. Cat's of the borgo before reaching the river's source. The house they were in front of said "careful of cats". The path in the forest, before arriving. The crystalline waters of the source of the river. Extremely beautiful but also a little scary. They are still and transparent, reflecting everything above. Still, you cannot see the bottom:…
There is nothing more desirable than change. Like a field of grass awaits the rain in this humid weather; So do I await the thunderstorm and the freshness of summer. There is nothing more tedious than same. Days rotating in a nauseous manner, The anticipation of nothingness. Let the thunders strike through this empty space, Let the colors of the flowers contrast the deep blue of the sky, Let me…
Thanks to my colleague, I have got to know the name of some plants around our workplace. I've always wanted to be able to identify more plants. Now I want to write here those I've learned of thanks to her, so I can have my personal "herbarium". The field elm / Olmo campestre [Ulmus minor] A deciduous tree native to Europe. Tiny flowers and the fruit, called samara, it's flat and green. At work…
Watching insects move about and inspecting them from up close is enjoyable and makes me happy. I like the idea of working with a laptop, but when it comes to it I have nothing to do or write about. Dante has been sitting next to me on the sofa while I have done various things today, it makes me want to get a bigger couch so we can all sit comfortably together. Like the one we have in the living…
I graduated last year and, as it's tradition here, I wore a laurel crown to the graduation ceremony. The crown had been hanging in my room for a bit: the laurel leaves dried up and it was collecting dust. As I did not want to throw it out just like that, I decided to make a memento with resin out of some of its leaves instead. This is the final result. It is full of air bubbles, the surface it's…
A fortnight ago, I went for a walk up the mountain with Ollie, to a spot a friend recommended for its quietness. At first I parked at the wrong spot and walked for a bit, but the impact of the landscape I saw was immediate: there was only me and Ollie and the mountain, which the road passed through. This place is near home, yet it seemed to me that I had traveled to a far away and secluded space.…
It has been raining quite a bit these past few days, and it got colder again, I don't mind the rain but I don't like the cold. I found a little bee on the windshield of my car today. I initially thought she was dead since she was legs up. I put my things in the backseat of the car and when I looked again: "Oh, you are alive". I've been talking aloud to myself more often lately. I think it's the…
Just for a little while, under the sunny breeze, I want to crawl back to earth, To the warmth of the decomposing leaves; I want to be buried in the comforting brown, And fall asleep to the endless deep.
