I am not much of a Valentine’s Day person, but I can say a few things:
I hope you have always someone with whom to share everything.
I wish you to do the things you love ardently at least once and not the right thing.
I wish you to read a memorable book.
I wish you to be on the most limpid blue-green water of your favourite beach, wet with salt and sand, kissed by the sun.
I hope you marvel at the beauty of nature and that you plant your favourite flowers or food.
I hope you have created lasting memories to return to when things are not so well.
I hope you paint your idea of beauty.
I hope your mind hosts food memories:
the earthy aroma of a glass of wine drank with happy friends, or in a foreign country;
a succulent steak cooked in a hot brick oven;
an icecream fallen on the ground;
a fruit picked and eaten right under the tree;
a kiss between bites.
Let Love be the guiding light that always accompanies us with wisdom and compassion.
Swimming upstream, as I usually do, I choose orange as the colour for today. It feels safer, peaceful and not so invasive as the red.
Happy Valentine’s Day. Ciao,
Valentina
