QUANDO FU NON RICORDO,
MA VENNI PRESO UN GIORNO
DAL DESIDERIO D'UNA VITA VAGABONDA,
DANDOMI AL DESTINO D'UNA NUVOLA
CHE NAVIGA NEL VENTO,
SOLITARIA.
(Basho)

...ma ora...

STO DIVENTANDO VECCHIO.
UN SEGNO INEQUIVOCABILE E' CHE
LE NOVITA' NON MI APPAIONO INTERESSANTI
NE' SORPRENDENTI.
SON POCO PIU' CHE TIMIDE VARIAZIONI
DI QUEL CHE E' GIA' STATO.

We always forget that...

If you have food in the fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of the world. 
If you have any money in the bank, your wallet and some spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy. 
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week. 
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the agony of imprisonment or torture, or the horrible pangs of starvation, you are luckier than 500 million people alive going through this suffering. 
If you can read this message you are more fortunate than the 3 billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
