Letting go
Sometimes we just need to let go. Those dreams I mean. Those wishes we carry with us in a certain space and time.
Sometimes we just need to accept the fact of having to go on, letting go all those broken pieces belonging to another world. And every time we do so, we change. We put a little step to a different life, but in the same time to a life further on. On another level, on another stage, before a different crowd.
The fact just is that letting go is not always that easy. Because it brings knowledge of change. And we humans just do not like fundamental change. Because it triggers feelings in our minds we are afraid of. Afraid of loosing. Afraid of having to deal with. 'Holding on', that´s it. Holding on to a rope that is not attached any longer and that reaches her end.
But then, there still will be sunshine. Like there always will be. So just enjoy getting older. Enjoy letting go. Enjoy breathing fresh air on a cold winter morning. New dreams are waiting. New horizons will be met. Take care of the wishes to come and forget the ones to never fulfill.

e com'è sei ritornato ora su quei pensieri che avevi lasciato andare quasi un anno fa?
tutto ok?
hey... strange... are we going through the same cycle? is this saturn return, returning? what do you say to yourself when you uncover words written years earlier, and now find yourself in the exact same place all over again? i need to know what to say to myself now, too.
"on another level, on another stage, before a different crowd." - but is the performance the same?
Qualche giorno fà, Serena, ho incontrato su un blog un post con lo stesso titolo di un post che avevo scritto tempo fa sul mio vecchio 'space' e che trattava più o meno della stessa cosa... Così sono andato a cercarlo e rileggendolo mi sono reso conto che era ancora attuale. Nel senso che alla fine cambiamo di giorno in giorno, proprio come di gionro in giorno ci ritroviamo davanti a nuove scelte, anche se a volte minuscole.
Per il resto non preoccuparti: tutto ok! ;-)
Wow, Ilana, that's a whole list of questions! ;-)
I do not think it's really a matter of going through the same cycle, but rather of constantly going through cycles. With or without knowing it. We change and evolve, even if that might just be no more than microscopic. The same goes for the performance. The red line might be the same, but changes are simple inevitable. We might try to redo everything in exactly the same way, but we will never be able to do it.
A band giving the 'same' concert two days in a row will never be able to perform in exactly the same way. So it's a matter of being lucky and choosing the right day!
Uncovering words written years earlier are always a surprise. A good one 'wow, did I write that?' or a bad one 'my God, what was I thinking'. But that's life, right? It's part of the adventure going along with it. And if something from the past can help you in the present, even better. The past is supposed to be our greatest teacher.
