What if you slept, and what if in your
sleep you dreamed?
And what if in your dream you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and
beautiful flower,
and what if when you awoke you had
the flower in your hand?
Ah, what then?
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply in every moment of daily life. To be mindful is to be truly alive and present with those around you and with what you are doing. We bring our body and mind into harmony while we wash the dishes, drive the car or take our morning cup of tea.

Historic Building - 1891 - Customshouse (red brick)
Key West, Florida U.S.A. - The Florida Keys - 11/29/24
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - Key West Museum]
The Old Post Office and Customshouse is now The Key West Museum of Art & History. A Key West treasure; museum, shops,
and offices. Seen for miles out at sea! Only 90 miles from Cuba.
The Customshouse and Old Post Office is a historic site located at 281 Front Street, Key West, Florida, United States. On September 20, 1973, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The Custom House currently serves as the Key West Museum of Art & History, which is one of three museums operated by the Key West Art & Historical Society. Exhibits include local history, famous personalities including Ernest Hemingway, maritime history, and works by local artists. The building was designed by architect William Kerr and was completed in 1891. The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida met here from its completion until 1932, when the building was transferred to the United States Navy. Just a joy to see. Come and visit the island.

Close the door when they come in
They can feel their whole world spin
Smoking plastic shards
They'll never be scared of me
(I won't drown)
And when they change themselves
They are never afraid of me
Summer's out for you
There's no time for you
It is not what it seems
You're awake in your dreams
With lithium you'll never be sad again
But you can't sleep with her
It's not by choice, is it?
I hope you never come back
There's someone else in here
Please tell me why
Please tell me when
Got this idea from a magazine, lyrics are from Northlane's Dream Awake which was kind of random but it turned out alright!
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies...
First photoshoot today with people other than my two lovely best friends, so wish me luck!
Dear shooting star:
There seems to be a misunderstanding.
[...I'm not that convinced. Maybe I'm going to erase it again. :-/]
"In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves."
"I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act."
"There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills."
"May the truth of these words awaken transcendent wisdom and great heart of compassion in all beings. May they bring blessings to all."
~Buddha~
... ese bonito momento cuando la luz juega con nuestro cuerpo y nos avisa que hay que despertarse, ... por suerte estaba de vacaciones :)

I just feel like uploading something, since I haven't been uploading for a few days now. :)
Yesterday, I just kept walking around my garden, with the camera, and my beautiful prime lens to take some simple bokeh shots. Was so mesmerized with the sunshine as always :)

Perchè la realtà fa così tanta paura?
Viaggiare con la mente non sempre porta alla felicità , anzi, ci riporta solo più bruscamente alla concretezza.
Come il primo amore, genuino, una favola, la fantasia che non sarebbe mai finito, che il lieto fine delle storie raccontate prima di dormire esista davvero e mai e poi mai sarebbe capitato nulla.
E poi, all'improvviso, la realtà . La rottura, il buio, il dolore.
Rimani ad occhi spalancati di fronte a qualcosa di sconosciuto, e la sofferenza non fa che aumentare, perchè non sai come affrontare il mondo vero, quello duro, crudele. Non riesci a credere che tutto il bello che fino a quel momento avevi visto sia svanito in un minuto.
Inizi a odiare te stessa per quanto tu sia stata ingenua, stupida, superficiale, e finisci per odiare tutto ciò che ti circonda perchè non è come lo volevi, o meglio, come te lo eri sempre immaginato.
Ma la realtà che colpa ne ha se gli uomini sono sognatori?
Il mondo non fa altro che aiutarci ad affrontarlo, a essere concreti, concreti sognatori.
Da quando ho scoperto che è più gratificante vivere la realtà che sognare, tante, troppe cose mi appaiono futili.
Questo non vuol dire che ho smesso di avere fantasia, ma solo che i miei sogni li rendo concreti, reali.
E quanto è bello toccare con mano la propria immaginazione.
La realtà è diventata la mia fantasia preferita.
Please respect my work.
