A friend frantically wrote me, "No news for many days, are you okay?"
Oh if you could only see me!
I am FEELING for the first time in many years...
It was an assignment I picked up since it started way back 2001.
Where have I been all these years?
Outside of myself! And now, I'm fully coming in.

I thought I could just fly to God leaving this body behind. Then he hushed me, "We communicate with Him not only with our heart (cuore) BUT also with our head (la testa) and feet (i piedi)... with our whole body (con tutto il nostro corpo)...
...food to taste!
...books to read!
...languages to learn!
... crafts...art... everyday a NEW thing to paint!
... celebrations!
...play...create music with kids!
...illusions and dreams... overtaken by the books I read... and my VB...
...hopes... now outside the tower... beyond the walls... to be as light as a feather...
...and Him... He'll always be a part of me... no matter what I do... or think... or plan in my life...

If that is so...

''but please...
remain in the practical world.
Sometimes,
what we see doesn't happen...
and that which we don't see...
happens..."
Well, I want to know what I am living for...

I'll see Him face to face
one day...
I'll see Him face to face
one day...

I loved the picture of the procession and all the lights, mesmerizing. When I visit here I feel as if I am riding on a magic carpet traveling the world and teasing my senses.
