La seconda volta

Returning to Italia awakens the simple pleasures of life.

I travel humbly as I revisit the senses of my soul.

Il tempo

I reset my biological clock forward on the Mediterranean coast.

Here I find the distance more tangible, the powerful and vast sea creating no end in sight, allowing the sun to warmly remind me of home.

Addio

Addio bei sogni, addio speranze liete,

giochi sereni e dolci amici addio;

addio per sempre ore soavi e quete,

addio per sempre, o dolce viver mio!

Addio memorie, addio affettuosi inganni,

addio fantasmi dell'eta primiera,

addio innocenti e desiati affanni,

addio canzoni e pianti della sera!

Emanuele

Remember me, don't ever forget me, we are only here for just a little while.

I will remember you, I will never forget you, we are only here for just a little while.

Never Forget...

I am humbled meeting Luigi...it is hard to describe what he has taught me.
After walking away from three plates of pasta, and not feeling heavy and weighed down, I carry patience with my dreams.  With dedicated time, anything is possible.

Never Forget...

When I asked this boy what his name was, he was shy.

"Alessadro..."

We spent the rest of the hour running around the square and racing.

Thank you for letting me feel closer to Kohen.  In this moment the distance didn't seem so far.

Never Forget...

We met this man in a small town in Umbria called Spello.

"You can take a picture of me, just not my teeth."

Arriverderci e buonasera.
