~now is the best place~

a day of slow motion ~

a day of inside moves: getting up early to see the sunrise, having a late breakfast, outside, on the sun terrace again. later: browsing through my pictures, my words. seeing a travelogue start. and it went on and on.

"The best place to write about a place is while you are still in it," a friend said to me some time ago. normally i save that for coming back home, to enlarge the journey. but today, the words were rolling like a wave. a large part of them came form the e-mails i have written here, and revisited today. i transformed them to a new form, edited them, added lines, words. now they are ready to go online, click the picture to get there.

most of the pictures were already taken, and the ones that were missing were just a walk away. the writing, the working with my mails, with the pictures taken, and the taking of missing pictures, while Ronnie was going on a long ride, while he was racing the roads again, knowing that he was happy, too, under this sunny sky ~ all this formed another special day

then dinner, it is such a luxury, such a treat here, the food. fish and lamb, pasta and paella, salad and soup - there always is more than enough for any taste. honey melon with crème caramel for dessert. a walk along the lights of the night bay.

the only shadow: the weather forecast. there might be a storm front coming. but in a way, really, i would welcome it. would like to see thunder and lightning, pouring rain and a raging ocean. a sun rising over breaking waves. ah dramatic me.

we will see tomorrow. it's not up to us to decide anyway.

and a poem.. one that came from India, and that came to my mind again here

Now is the best place
Here is the best time
To be desperate
For nothing
To be aware
Of the moments that flow
In those same ways
In those different colours
That is life

and it is.
