What I really want is to talk about Love.
That love to be found within.
That which then wants to be shared around.
I’ve gone a long way to feel that love.
I’ve looked for it in romantic relationships.
Even around the world.
With scarce results.
I’ve read books.
Loads of them.
I’ve looked for it in teachers.
And in practices.
I was still looking outside.
I thought
and thought
and thought.
And pondered.
I laughed so much.
And cried too.
I made friends with silence.
I fought with myself.
And made peace.
And fought again.
Confusion and doubts abounded.
Yet as I kept shifting my focus from outward to inward
something quietly was blooming
and my mind’s questions seemed less and less urgent.
I still didn’t know how to talk about it, though. I felt inadequate.
My desire, even if sincere, was still poisoned by seeking recognition and approval and by fear.
But the urge was greater so I kept looking for ways to share.
I kept looking inside
and started translating into language what I feel.
I went out to meet others, and bumped into truly amazing people!
I hugged total strangers together with wonderful friends. (See: http://www.freehugscampaign.org)
Each meeting is a blessing, how awesome to look at you and myself with different eyes!

And I kept thinking and pondering.
How to talk about Love?
(And I so wish I could talk in italenglish simultaneously!!!)
…Oh, if only I could sing about it!!
…If I could dance it!
…If I could be living proof of it!
What I notice is my gratitude towards life and towards too many people to mention.
And how that opens the door of my heart.
What I notice is the joy I feel in seeing my friends doing the thing they’re most passionate at.
So here I am. Doing, gratefully, the thing I’m most passionate at.
“Talking”…. about Love!
Preferably in a light and playful way, because that’s how I want to live.
I don’t actually have any real message…
Just: if you can, enjoy the miracle of being you!
Thanks for watching! ☺
