Honest Conversation

"A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not." (Ernest Hemingway)

Today is A Good Day

   "Sometimes, the simple things are more fun and meaningful than all the banquetes in the world..."  (E.A.Bucchianeri)

       

Transition

   "How strange that the nature of life is change, yet the nature of human beings is to resist change. And how ironic that the difficult times we fear might ruin us are very ones that can break us open and help us blossom into who we were meant to be." (Elizabeth Lesser)

   ...or at least to take us where we meant to be...

   See You when I'll cross that bridge!

Between July and August

 I am lost and found between the landscapes of my childhood...

A Feeling...

Something Good

"If you combine the sufferings great color palette you will find happiness as well." (Sorin Cerin) 

Behind the Curtains

"To be admitted to Nature's heart costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain." (Henry David Thoreau) 

My Treasure

"The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart."

Listening to the God

My Castle

"There are no rules of architecture for the castle in the clouds." (Gilbert K. Chesterton)

Rebuilding

"When one has finished building the house, he suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something  that he really needed to know, in the worst way, before one began." (F. Nietzsche)

Dreams

   Everybody must have a dream, just make your own...

Merry Christmas!

Meanwhile...

   Somewhere between deadly silence of the personal computer (with a hope that the hard drive is taking good care of all photos), hiccups of my health,  and some life changes, I have some good news :)

   IT'S RAINING!!! Yes, after long 2 years of waiting..!

   And some photos of my blog been published ;) I wouldn't have imagined it in my wildest dreams, but this blog shares few credits in Norwegian guide book "The best of Gran Canaria: 66 handpicked experiences". As you understood it's written in Norwegian and for the moment only available in Norway, that you can see HERE and HERE . Soon I might have it myself but somehow still feel very strange and a bit intimidated by that...  :)

   Thank You very much for the visits, comments and support! With all ups and downs, the blogging must go on! Hope soon...

                                                                                                                                          

with Love,

Post Vacacional...

"A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you've been taking."   (Earl Wilson) 

During two weeks outside of the island I took more photos than in last two years... Wonder if it says anything about me or the place I live?..

   

Difficult Relationship

A Happy Good Bye

   "Respect yourself to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy."

   So this is the time to say goodbye. But not to you, to the Past! So many good and maybe not so good things happened then... I've lost some friends (where they real friends then?), who couldn't accept or understand my blogging experiments and I've lost some BLOGGER FELLOW ... I renewed forgotten friendships and made the new ones... But the most important, I made a peace with myself.  :)

   It was a moment in my life, when everything suddenly became surreal. Like in a stopped movie, I've found myself between meaningless routines frozen and paralyzed from the scary and uncertain future. Everything was just a big black yelling emptiness mixed with only one question - "But what about my family?!?"... It's like dealing for years with some chronic disease wasn't enough. Weird, how only one visit to the doctor can change all your life...  "Health is not everything, but without it everything is nothing..."

   That's how everything became Black. The color of not having a color, but very important one.

   "Without black, no color has any depth. But if you mix black with everything, suddenly there's shadow - no, not just shadow, but fullness. You've got to be willing to mix black into your palette if you want to create something that is real." (Amy Grant)

   In some amazing way THE LIGHT passed by... It touched me like a miracle, like a hope, like a dream , like a promise, like a LIFE.  For many hours and days, half blind (surgery complications) and in pain I was browsing the pages of unbelievable beauty, repeating to myself that everything is going to be ok. And I will see more beauty which is all around in this world. THANK YOU, LORETA!!! In a  mysterious way, you've saved my soul and my life!

  So this is how my blog was born. Day after day convincing myself, that life is worth to live. That beauty is everywhere, even in this exotic, but very strange to me place. The journey wasn't easy; depending on the day my moods where jumping up and down. Sometimes I needed to force myself with all my powers to do it. Just do it. Day by day. Post by post. Step by step.

   And here I am. Happy and healed. Of course my soul got a bit stained after such experiences, but if I can forgive myself for not being so perfect, maybe you could do it too! At least I made some virtual friends and a few lucky shots. The beautiful power of creativity marked me, and I feel like there is no way back to the life without it, in any shape, idea or form...

   Today I've decided to change it, my blog. I have more life outside the computer screen now, so it will be less posting, and maybe different (or maybe not) style. We'll see. Can't promise anything yet!

   Thank you for your time with me, and for the things I've learned from all of you!

   P.S. Today is my happy birthday :))
