Dedicated to my dear macho son Afsar:)

Don't measure your life by how many breaths you take, measure it by how many times you get your breath taken away. (unknown)

This must be my all time best loved place (at least since I am living in Switzerland once more...)! It's a place where time rests, worries fall off your shoulders, pain leaves your heart, where the presence is truly a gift and sitting here fills me with peace, serenity, good thoughts and a smile :)

This is my favourite place, sitting and either reading or quietly contemplating all things.

A lovely day in October 05 - I thought, over and over:

Life is beautiful

La vita e bella

La vie est belle

Das Leben ist schön...

A vida é bela (Thank You Ana)

Thank You all for your kind, wonderful comments, invites and FAVES. I am quite overwhelmed, thinking that such a humble picture finds such an echo.

Just to remind you, this photo is unaltered, shot on real film (the thing that comes in a black plastic box....), didn't see a enhancing tool and knows no tricks or treats. I think I never even cropped it and today I probably would bring out that bike a bit more, one can hardly see it leaning to the tree.... However, considering all these limitations, I am all the happier about it!

“Les rêves sont comme des îles.

Alors on est tout seul quand on rêve

et ça ne peut pas être autrement.”

Jacques Poulin

I came across a fallen tree

I felt the branches of it looking at me

Is this the place we used to love?

Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Your comments are more than welcome!

♫ ♫ ♫

Love, as if you were a child,

Smile, no matter what they tell you

Don't listen to a word they say

Cause life is beautiful that way.

Tears, a tidal wave of tears

Light, that slowly disappears

Wait, before you close the curtain

There is still another game to play

And life is beautiful that way

Here with his eyes forevermore

I will always be as close as you

remember from before

Now that you're out there on your own

Remember what is real and

what we dream is love alone

Keep the laughter in you eyes

Soon your long awaited prize

We'll forget about our sorrows

And think about a brighter day

Cause life is beautiful that way.

We'll forget about our sorrows

And think about a brighter day,

Cause life is beautiful that way

There's still another game to play

And life is beautiful that way.

BRAVO Better than O Mio Babbino, Caro because of the dance.

I was a miserable child, and even more more miserable teenager... Then one day I woke up, looked around & realized that WOW if you give it a chance life can be really spectacular! 💛

I speak of love that comes to mind:

The moon is faithful, although blind;

She moves in thought she cannot speak.

Perfect care has made her bleak.

I never dreamed the sea so deep,

The earth so dark; so long my sleep,

I have become another child.

I wake to see the world go wild.

- Allen Ginsberg

smokey on his new Honda CB 125E Smokie loves to sing when he's having a good time he loves riding on his motorbike and everyone that sees him loves him as well

the beauty of stillness lies in the quiet of the moment. it's fleeting, but it's now.

have a great weekend, all
