When the scenario looks bleak and you have almost thrown in the towel....
DONT GIVE UP, find the courage within yourself to "JUST DO IT"
Madeira is a stunning island one of my favourites I've travelled to. This was taken at one of it's most famous points at Canical.
Listen to this if you fancy it.

Santa Cruz das Flores, Flores island, Azores, Portugal.
Geological formation located north of the village of Santa Cruz das Flores, off which, say the scuba divers, you can observe a rare deposit of whale bones. These are remains of many decades of whaling and its processing in the old and disabled factory nearby, before that activity was banned in Portugal in 1987.

Not every day is a good day,
live anyway.
Not everyone tells the truth,
trust anyway.
Not everyone will love you back,
love anyway.
Not every game will be fair,
play anyway.
“The merest breath reached out to me in the wilderness and halted me in my tracks. I cocked my head to listen intently to the rhythm of the earth; for the direction of the wind; to the whisper of the trees and in that one defining moment, my mind was made up and I stepped out boldly into the unknown direction of the path that will take me who knows where, but it is the beginning of a new and exciting journey and all I had to do to reach this point was to stand still; to listen; to observe; to be guided by the instincts within me that served me so well in the past and in so doing now, I leave the past behind and my heart and soul are glad to be separated from the weariness that had settled so heavily on my shoulders. My steps are light as is my entire being as I begin again …funny, I only just noticed that begin and being are anagrams of each other … “ - AP

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO? - DIANA ROSS
Life from a snail's point of view and mine too ; 0))
Which way shall I go?
UP?
ACROSS?
DOWN?
what a dilemma
I cannot decide on a whim
WHAT IF …
too many what ifs …
while I wait I am silent
I try to think strategically
1. Supposing I reach the top
and don't like what I see!
2. Supposing I go across
sideways and merge my colours
subtly into Mother Nature's palette
3. Suppose I go back down
no WAIT!
I already came so far
to go back would be wasteful
of the time
of the experience
mmmm … the wall has tiny microscopic little beasties
they taste good though the wall itself is roughly hewn
a moveable feast
Who am I?
What am I?
A snail carrying her home upon her back
free to roam the open road
oh well, ok … the open wall if you please
I passed a slug a little while ago
a slug is surely just a homeless snail …
I should be more content with who I am
after all I am not homeless
I am not helpless
I am shielded from predators
I am the queen of my own castle
I hear a bird
a Dunnock I think, perhaps two
one is thin; the other fat and round as a Robin
they sing so prettily
I have no audible sound
but my heart sings
my mind thinks
I feel and climb this wall to evade capture
and to avoid being trodden underfoot
vain creatures; humans … they love my slime
they apply it to their skin
it heals and makes them smooth
I can heal myself if my outer shell cracks
I am tired now
I want to sleep but I have not yet decided
UP?
ACROSS?
DOWN?
It is quite a conundrum for a snail
oh there she is with her camera
I cry to her to make sure she gets my best side
of course she does not hear me or does she?
I think she might well do
she is in tune with nature
in harmony with her surroundings
she is in my domain
and I am in hers
together we can do great things
she has a profound effect on me
suddenly I decide
to enjoy the ride
the wind in my hair
oh wait!
Do I even have hair?
So much I do not know
I teach her
she teaches me
together we coexist
she leaves me to my meanderings
while she goes off a-wandering
tomorrow is another day
I will decide then, perhaps
UP?
ACROSS?
DOWN?
What's that she's saying?

- Da tempo mi ripropongo di abbinare ad alcune photo il testo di ciò che ho scritto e pubblicato. Oggi ho infine deciso di cominciare. E lo faccio con una soffertissima composizione che fa parte della raccolta "Fuoco di Paglia", pubblicata nel 2006.
Do it
Gettami nelle profondità
dell’oceano
lascia che gli squali mi dilanino
la carne
tanto tu vai avanti uguale
Rigirami il coltello dentro al cuore
è solo sangue quello che vedi
venir fuori
dentro ad esso c’è la vita
ma è solo la mia
tanto tu vai avanti uguale
Stai pure in silenzio
mentre son io ad aver voglia
di urlare
com’è? che è? perché io si e voi no?
che vuoi? che fai? Perché lo fai?
è inutile parlare
tanto tu vai avanti uguale
e allora non tendere quella mano
se poi tu vai avanti uguale
tanto tu vai avanti uguale
tanto tu vai avanti uguale.
