Poetry , our soul food….

Today is a tender spring sunny day. I’m in the mood for poetry. Here is one of my favorites.

The morns are meeker than they were-
The nuts are getting brown-
The berry's cheek is plumper-
The Rose is out of town.
The Maple wears a gayer scarf-
The field a scarlet gown-
Lest I should be old fashioned
I'll put a trinket on.

Emily Dickinson

Yes, me too I’ll put a little trinket on.

What a kind way to start the day!

What a pleasure to recognize the same values and feelings in the appreciation of one's guests! Today after breakfast, two delicious American guests told me how nice is rediscovering the pleasure of speaking, the useless of telephone and television in a place like the Foretezza. I replied, this is exactly what brought me and my husband in this magical place, here there is time and peace of mind to find ourselves and our loved ones.
