The sin of hypocrisy…like the crafty fox who couldn’t reach the beautiful mature grapes in the basket…so he turned on his tail , saying with a sneer, “I don’t want these as they’re still sour!!”
From when I was young and a student, not very disciplined or inclined to study, they always told me to work hard and make sacrifices for something, but I thought it was only talk and I would have succeeded anyway because I was cunning and astute ….I felt like I was in a cage…but only now I understand that if you are tenacious, good, determined and constant, you can escape from the cage!
In reality, all of us have an attic in our house. If you haven’t found it yet, you will surely find it in your heart.
I have never liked the tale of Red Riding Hood and above all, I have always liked the wolf, his forest and his animal friends. A long time ago I knew a girl who dressed in red and lived in a wood and had as her best friend a wolf, small and true…
Amongst my school day memories, there is Manzoni’s “Renzo and Lucia” and the story of Romeo and Juliet…therefore I imagined a magical cloister inhabited by a fairy with a magic wand and many lovers….by minstrels and girls and boys impatient to find love…
….the surprise of a cat who observes a butterfly in love playing “he loves me he loves me not” with a daisy …
For he who invented the sea, for he who created the shell sisters, for he who with his curly hair like waves gave me a dream…dedicated to Neptune!
All of us dream and we all awake without remembering all that we have dreamt. However, our dreams remain written in our ‘book of dreams’. One day one of my friends told me that she drew her most beautiful dream in her secret book …. she took off her shoes and watch and flew away…!!!
…a friendship, a love, a strong feeling and an ideal may be separated by many things and by lots of obstacles, but the strength that we have inside and the desire to not ever be alone makes us fight to the last to remain united. It does not have to be a definitive ‘no’ or a ‘yes’. If you believe this, you will always find your ‘Tree of Life’.
This is the tale of “Alice and the wonderland”...there was a girl who dreamed a beautiful fairytale …but as in all fairytales this one was also destined to end in the real world…It’s the story of Alice who one day entered into a fantastic world of dreams and wonderful places where life was full of amazing experiences… A circular world where one day she met the prince of her dreams. Then later flew away only to return with her child …. in this way the fantastic story of life can begin again …and again!!!
If during your life you find yourself at a crossroads and don’t know which way to go, a lantern will illuminate your path and if you have eyes to see and ears to hear, an ancient forest will show you the right way to your destiny…the “speaking forest”! Don’t be afraid if many faces whisper the way…and if you take the wrong path to the right, the forest will block your way and not let you pass… Like a good friend, the forest will come to life to guide you and a piper will play to let you know when you are in danger…the trees become people who help you on your way…high up to the right a girl with her long arm outstretched alerts you that you’re on the wrong path - the path to your house is lit by a lantern held by the trees, who touch hands to lead you the right way home!
I have always thought that life was a balancing act, and having come this far as if I were a tightrope walker, I have decided that the moment has come to dance alone.
