Party Time - Getting Wasted on Cake in Nashville

 


Ah to be one again!  Why does no one disparage a 1-year-old for doing what she feels like? What freedom!  What joy!  Enjoy it while you can, my darling granddaughter.  Too soon instead of being, applauded and serenaded
               

                                                 

and the princess in the castle, you will be expected to "toe the line." It was a reminder that life moves so swiftly. Best to grab the cake with both hands


and live life to the fullest!

La Vita e Bella

Living in the NOW on the way to ski at Cervania, which is the Italian side of the Matterhorn.  Italians seem to me to understand how to live more holistically. It's a great lifestyle. I wonder if it can survive in a world of relentless go go competition? As for me I subscribe to ricorda il bambino dentro di te e segui la tua felicità. (remember the child inside you and follow your bliss)!

Double Fantasy Holiday - Italian Style

Was this real or a dream?  If it was real, then it was a dream come true.  It all started with an email from a long-time guitar-playing friend.

So I jumped in and started making plans.  I had left my Taylor guitar in Italy 3 years earlier with a street musician who I had become friends with.  I arranged to pick it up near Milan, hoping it was still in good shape.  My Italian colleague who had invited me to his family home, offered that I could bring a friend to stay.  I contacted a bright yo...

Glaciers and Yoga- Bettmeralp Round 2

Image
A three day weekend afforded me the opportunity to return to Bettmeralp Switzerland, and this time experience trekking over the Alps and down to the Aletsch glacier. It a word WOW! But this Italian phrase says it better. “Non ci sono parole per descrivere questa esperienza.” But I will try.  My challenging treks were punctuated with wonderful yoga and meditation sessions. The glacier is 14 miles long and over a 1/2 mile wide. The crevices are huge and are only traversed with ropes and crampons. Blow up the pictures  down by the glacier and find the people. It will give a little perspective. The glacier's grandeur can only be fully appreciated in person.   Beyond the glacier, the silence and solitude are so cathartic. Winston Churchill thought so as well. My picture  link has a foto of his cabin overlooking the glacier. Still my experience wasn’t all bliss.  I must admit the 2nd day was not only arduous, but challenged me to overcome a primal fear. ...
