Flirting with life

Being home sick for a few days I’ve decided to spend more time on my blog and thought that the best way to retrieve the lost strength is to travel through memories to some places that brought me peace of mind and inspiration. So today’s blog update is about travels and more importantly about remembering them.

“Travelling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying, I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station”

– Lisa St Aubin de Terán

Last summer my station was at  Isola San Giulio on Lake Orta and Bassano del Grappa in North Italy.

          Hmmm, I am not sure how to say it in Javanese, but maybe this will help:

          con·tem·plate
          1.to look at or view with continued attention; observe or study thoughtfully: to contemplate the stars.
          2. to consider thoroughly; think fully or deeply about: to contemplate a difficult problem.
          3. to have as a purpose; intend.
          4. to have in view as a future event: to contemplate buying a new car.
          5. to think studiously; meditate; consider deliberately.

    Paula, when I look at these I’m not sure why you would have ever asked for my help. You clearly do not need it! The ones with the tree and the island lit up at night in particular, Wow!
