Maravilla de una noche de leyenda

Un inicio en la sorpresa de un encuentro casual..,
.. si es que existe algo como un inicio cuando la noche juega al azar..

Sin saber, sin planear, sin calcular..,

como ocurren las cosas más hermosas..

fuimos creando una maravilla y una ofrenda..

Un ángel las vio y quiso tenerlas..

Ahora sé que su intención no era exactamente esa.

Esperó otra época.., una lucha, una distracción..,

aprovechó una cadena de locuras y una pizca de inmadurez necesaria..,

tan necesaria en la humanidad..

Y qué locuras!

Aprovechó el sabio ciclo de la vida y el consecuente ciclo del amor..,

y por qué no.., aprovechó los miedos terrenales.., tán básicos..

aprovechó que eramos dos, y se las llevó..

Ahora sé que sólo las quería prestadas..

Sintió ternura, felicidad y calor..,

esculpió con su aliento una vez más nuestra maravilla y ofrenda..

..hasta que se volvió leyenda..

Y esparció aquello desde su corazón..

Quién fuera el afortunado mi amor.., quienes fueran..,

con un tesoro de verdad..

aunque los conceptos de felicidad no puedan nunca cambiar..

Y nos devolvió con un toque mágico lo que tomó prestado..

después de la lucha, después de la tiranía de la cordura..

porque nos vio.., porque fue y es nuestro..

y ahora qué? si se necesitan dos...

I'm writing my life as I live it..

Now.., I really see how challenges surprise you all of a sudden.., things you wouldn't imagine you will have to deal with.., and yes.., the troubles I've lived never crossed my mind when, some years ago, I used to think about my future.. I keep doing things that scare me though.., I strongly recommend that! I try not to spend my time on jelousy and I kept all my love letters.. I started to take care of my body.. I dance.., I laugh.., I strecht :) I have a great bond with my parents I didn't have before.., and I have friends to hold on, friends that will stay timeless.. Only one thing didn't change: I still don't know what I will do with my life.. .. and that's good.., cause I want surprises.., I prefer to write my life as I live it.., day by day.., page by page.., it's good for me not to have all my life figured out.., I don't wanna know where I will be tomorrow.., I just wanna know what makes my world goes round.., that's enough.. Feeling this moment is a good one to listen to these advices again.. It has always moved me and everytime I hear it I see another side of it.. I know I will always remember to dance, laugh and stretch.., to dare to love and to dare to write..

Just.. 'disarming..'

One of the most amazing and disarming melodies I've heard..,

capable of exalt my very deep and pure emotions..

Vuelvo

'Vuelvo..,
quiero creer que estoy volviendo..,
con mi peor y mi mejor historia..
conozco este camino de memoria..,
pero igual me sorprendo..

Hay tanto siempre que no llega nunca..,
tanta osadía, tanta paz dispersa,
tanta luz que era sombra y viceversa..,
y tanta vida trunca..

Vuelvo y pido perdón por la tardanza..,
se debe a que hice muchos borradores..,
me quedan dos o tres viejos rencores,
y sólo una confianza..'

Mario Benedetti

Venice, the queen of Italy

Definitely the queen of Italy..
A city that makes us instantly evoke this sweet and magic country.., a place that makes us evoke Vivaldi, Bellini, Tiziano, Tintoretto and Marco Polo..

I know I didn't get to visit Florence in spring, but certainly Venice was my favorite place..

In the north of Italy, in the coast of Adriatic Sea, we can find one the most attractive and peculiar cities in our planet, that was one of the most important commercial power that has ever existed in the Mediterranean.

Venice traded with the Byzantine Empire and the Muslim world, becoming the most prosperous city in the whole Europe in 13 century, that's when they built all those superb palaces and support the work of the most talented and greatest artists..

What a history from V century!, when Germanic invasions lead some Roman citizens to take refuge in the islands.., its marvelous height and the sad decline, as history repeats..
Now, while I take a walk through the Great Canal, it just doesn't seem to matter how many times Venice was totally devastated.., nothing compares its majestuosity..

And Piazza San Marcos was magic.., standing in the same heart of the Renaissance Venice, I felt I was in another era, living some moments I watch once in a while in movies.., maybe in a fancy party with a superb dress, or in a colossal concert with multiple choruses and instrumental groups..

Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to travel alone to this exceptional place, but timing was not good and I was not sure if I was going to be again so near Venice as I was then..
So, I enjoyed it to the maximum and all I did was painting some memories and images in mind, to share them with you some day.., and maybe, just maybe, I will also have that romantic gondola tour I refused to take this time..

The Great Canal

Venice Lagoon

My moments, pictures and thoughts in Venice

My father told me Piazza San Marcos was incredibly beautiful, and he wasn't wrong..,

I think here I had one of the greatest moments of my whole trip.., coming back to Renaissance, as I described in my last post..

My moment in Piazza San Marcos

It was so beautiful to be in a city without any roads at all, something totally different for me..
Cars just doesn't exist there and actually gondolas are only for us, romantic turists, cause taxi botes and private botes are the transportation used in everyday basis..

Going in botes through the Great Canal, walking through some of the 400 bridges and passing by some of those 177 small canals that make 118 islands.., I keep thinking it would have been great to have some great company.., but in this moment of my life I can totally use some time alone to think about all what comes: like applying to MC Peru before January 6th, meeting my boyfriend in Rome, trying to get to Ukraine without dying in the attempt, build some LCs there, make my way to Poland and PEACE project.., then Belgium and Netherlands, for mention some..

Yes.., my Venice time was only for me, an even if I missed taking that gondola with someone special, I think it was a sweet and a deep trip on my own..

I know someday I will take that 'romantic gondola or bote', maybe not in Venice but in some other exquisite place.., maybe Turkey, Greece or Thailand, or maybe in Peru.. :)
