For all of my life I have searched for the most hidden and precious treasures, I have travelled to the most remote corners of the world, crossed oceans and battled through storms….I have found treasure chests full of gold, the most precious objects, amphora, vases and rare gems...but one day I understood that I had yet to find the most precious treasure and that what I was searching for was there at my fingertips. There isn’t greater or more precious wealth than the memories of our life and I risked to forget everything for material riches, if it wasn’t for a little book closed inside a box that brought back my memory…..it took just a breath to blow away the dust and it all came back to me. The most beautiful memories and the fables always begin with “once upon a time.” Above all, I remember the voices of the storytellers ……and more often than not, I fell asleep immediately…but now I’m awake, and I remember everything ……signed by the treasure hunter.
Some time ago I happened to see a game of chess… But it was a game where the pieces became soldiers and the horses turned into cavalry and together with them, everything came to life - Kings, Queens, Rooks, Bishops and Pawns........in a fantastic game - that of life...but it was only a game…a beautiful game!
It was obvious that one day nature would present us with the “bill”…trees and flowers grow without warning inside buildings of cement as the cities are overtaken by the forests. The houses and buildings that were once built of cement now ‘regrow’ in wood.
When you think that it’s all done and your world is all that you have seen and known, maybe if you look far into the distance on the horizon, the thing that you have always desired will appear to you… ‘The Neverland!’ Signed Peter Pan.
Who in their life has not been at least once a little “Pinocchio”?! Many years ago, looking in the mirror, I saw a thing on my face that strangely grew and grew until I couldn’t see anything else but my nose. I found myself with a nose so long that I could no longer see what I had in front of me and the more lies I told, the longer my nose grew until it was impossible to be close to people… I don’t know how many “cats and foxes” I met, ready to entrance and trap me! It was only when I decided to stop telling lies that my nose shortened and it became possible to see other people again and to do everything that I wanted to do. I no longer live in the “city of straw” where everything and everyone is false. The cat and the fox have disappeared and above all, I can once again look people in the eye… Signed Pinocchio…but this isn’t a lie, I have grown up!
The love of the person who brought you into the light has no limits…the love of a mother stays with you forever and gives you the strength to live your life …At the beginning she guides and protects you and shows you the right way…but one day, when you are grown up, you must say goodbye and continue on your path without her…(dedicated to all mothers).
Life is an extraordinary adventure and we are all acrobats and tight rope walkers hanging on to a rope, a dream, an ideal…. We need to be united to be happy in spite of the bad things in life and the dangers that surround us every day. Only if we are united can we admire the world, which opens out underneath us in an extraordinary adventure, as in perfect equilibrium, we walk towards our dreams and the Neverland! Signed by two dreamers Luigi & Kate
The cold that wraps around your heart soon disappears with a hug, which melts it away like the snow in the sun…… It’s love!
One day I met an old man dressed in nothing but the wind…I always saw him there, facing the sea, looking far away…he sat silently looking out to the distant horizon as if he were waiting for someone. I tried to ask him who it was, but he didn’t reply, he just smiled at me and continued to look far away… Many years had passed when I returned there one day to find him there, as always, dressed in nothing but the wind and looking out to the horizon…he looked at me and smiled and then took my hand, and we both sat silently together and continued to look out across the sea… Dedicated to my father
Just when you think that life has given or taken everything and you can’t go on for the freezing cold and rain, the moment has come to do up that top button on your jacket and continue walking. You must always go on, even if you think you have lost everything, including hope, as in life there will always be a better day. You must believe this as one day a beautiful sunny day will arrive and as you close your umbrella, the shadow that’s been following you will disappear …so walk on my friend, and never… Never stop!!!
