....the further you are from home,
the closer you are to your deepest self:
vibrant, naked essence of your soul.
The air itself is different but
makes you live the same;
and your roots are splayed
toward the faces,
looking for a fertil,
bare smile as if it was a clod of soil,
a cloud down from the sky....

So Sorry

Ok Ok, you're right. But you know, every day, at the end of the day I'm tired, as for having attended to a class for all the day. And so, I postponed ever to the next day, that has never arrived.
Now I'm in Wales, in a place named: Pantasaph. It's the friary where was the novitiate   of the Capuchin in Britain. Now it is used like retreat center, beside to be a Parish.
The friars here are very kind and the life is calm, without too noises and distractions. Near here there are many beautiful places, like Liverpool, Chester, Manchester and so on. 
But the most important thing are the people: they are splendid. Today I have spoken all the day into the tea room that after every Mass the people  reaches for having a cup of tea or coffee.
In the afternoon have come about 50 people for a retreat that will last all the week. there are also children and I can play with them, so then I'll be able to learn the language of the local kids.
I'm very happy for my experience here.
There is another mistake to tell about (one among many):
I was in Chester, and when I had to take the train for come back to Pantasaph, guess what? I have token the wrong one. Fortunately the same wrong train had to go back to Chaster, so I have lost an hour. 
It seems that all these mistakes keep on laughing behind me.
Bye Bye for now.

What a day

Hello to everyone.
Today has been the first day here in London. I have been walking around under the rain like an English man.
Very nice.
The friars here are very friendly and I can speak with them without too many worries. If they speak not too fast, I can understand them. So the feeling of panic is diminished.
I have found a proper adapter for the plug of my pc, so now I can use it for to post these my absurd mistakes.
The last one concern the privacy of this blog. My sister has said to me that she can't see the blog, so I have realized that only the creators of blogs could see it: what a mistakeeeeee.
I have adjusted the setting up, so now the link work properly.
I'm very tired now: it has to be the strive for understanding another language for all the day.

Ta Ta for now.

I'm hereeeee

That's incredible: I'm in London.
The friars seem very friendly and the place is gooooorgeous.
I'm happy. I've been watching the news in English like a polite Londoner.
The mistake of the day: I bought the adaptor for the plag but that's good only if you have a plug with only two pins and guess what?
I have the plug with three pins:
what a mistakeeeeeee

Super poll














Hi to all.
I'm in my room in Milan while I'm writing. Tomorrow at this time I'll be in London: another City, another language, another culture but....... the same heart.
So, I would want to start with a little poll: do you like this template or you prefer the next one?
I know I know: how could you know how the next template will be?
Bingoooo: this is my first mistake and, by the way, the mistake of the "0" day, the "zero mistake".
However, let me know at least if you like this template. In two days I'm going to change it.


Ta Ta, for now...
