I love the wind when it blows through the red rooftops of ancient buildings, across the River Arno, through the Tuscany and fields of grape and olive trees, and into my hair. If I could, I would be the wind.

We may walk different paths, we may have different perspective of the world around us, we may dream different dreams, love different people, but we all live under the same sky.

I hold onto the people who know how to grieve, how to to find joy in ordinary things, people who can feel deeply and love madly, like them, I too know what it takes to stay gentle.

We should write letters more. I miss that. I would say My love, everything here reminds me of our last summer together. Smell of pine trees mixed with salty sea, ripped tomatoes and figs, waves crushing on my feet. I miss you. But oh how happy I am to be at the sea again.

We should write letters more. I miss that. I would say: My love, it is the last day in the place we called home for 30 years. Place we loved, fought, cried, laughed. The place you died. I am sad, but also excited for the new life ahead of me, of possibilities and joy.

I fall in love with hearts that stay open, with conversations where we bare our souls, with laughter that fills empty spaces with joy, with the ones who never give up on dreams.

For one more month I will be sleeping in the room where my husband died I don’t think of it often  like that This is the room where  we slept and laughed cried and held each other A room where we loved (to read the whole poem visit my instagram vladamarspiano)

Today I played the last concert on my beautiful piano as it is going to a new home. How many beautiful memories I had with this piano, how many melodies were composed here. Feeling very grateful and a bit of sad to say goodbye. But new life awaits ♥️

You can hear now morning birds singing. Spring is here. It is inevitable. And that makes my heart happy and at ease. News are full of horrific stories that often we forget how life is beautiful. Just listen to the birds... like them, we also need to sing.
