"Contro Vento"
It’s time for lunch, but I am still drinking my morning coffee. I have never been good at following the usual. Times, roads, anything. I prefer to do things as I feel despite going “contro vento” as they say here.
I even like to walk literally “contro vento” outside these days, when here, on the island there is a lot of wind and rain.
As in life, if you choose to walk “contro vento”, also on the streets, when it rains and the wind is so strong that there’s no point to use an umbrella, I walk almost alone. Smiling like crazy, because I love the raw authentic feeling, and the wild gigantic sea waves that jump up a few meters on the street, where I walk.
I love these powerful walks, the feeling of deep connection with myself, with life, with the essence. This is one of my favorite parts of the life here.
The raw experiences. The authenticity.
These rainy walks, for instance, or a stop for a cup of coffee, a glass of wine in the center of nearby little town, where you often think you must be watching a movie set. Directly in front of your eyes there are scenes and actors that need no costumes or any script. And yet, they just perform their every day life as did the people maybe a hundred years before them.
For a writer, this environment is a constant flow of inspiration. I would like to capture everything.
Sometimes I make notes for a future book, but more often, I just watch or stare, smile, laugh, enjoy my own private show, which never ends and never ceases to fascinate me. And I don’t even need to buy a ticket to watch it, because, slowly, over the years, me myself I became a part of it.
Another happy actor, having its own place in this amazing movie. One of the billions of stories, which are written in every moment in this world.
Love, K.
