breathing in the lakle

Thursday, July 25, 2013

I am breathing in my lake while I have been transported by Ana OXA's song "CARUSO".

Last night the moon was shining so brightly. The mountains were a variety of black and gray pearlescence. There was such richness in the dark hues with the moon allowing everything to shimmer: like a wonderful satin woven with metallic silver threads.

The world passes in front of my garden..... and yet tall hedges circle the property, giving a sense of privacy and distance from the outside world. The sun is happy today, the lake calm and a gentle breeze passes through my home.

There is a gathering this evening on the only island in the middle of the lake called "ISOLA COMACINA" There is a roman ruin, a restaurant and a kiosk. When the kids were little, we'd take a little motor boat and swim there. There were places to wander.... for a tiny itty bitty island. I will go on a motor bike, despite my promise to never ride on one. I want to retrace the route George took on his motor bike, on a motor bike myself. It seems strange, but I want to feel the sensation that he had while traversing the curvy corners of the lake. I have driven it many times in a car. But, that is not what I am after: I am after the FEELING and I want to see the lake with those eyes. An aperativo and appetizers this evening. A bit of socializing. In a beautiful spot. What could be better for a summer's evening than that?

warmth and smiles for a Great Giovedi
