Wish You Stay Here.

I am that thing that makes you calm and you don't know why. Well, I am that thing, or I try to be it.

…simple, seemingly delicate, the Christmas Rose represents purity, kindness, resilience, and, of course, hope… this plant embodies the true spirit of Christmas… not a commercial object, not an ostentation… but simplicity …

…and in some areas of the park, some young trees are changing color, their green leaves have turned almost golden… today the weather was particularly mild, but I mustn't get too attached to this climate…

…rays of light filter through the trees in the park, creating a soft and evocative atmosphere…

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." -Lao Tzu (photo from a year ago exactly on this last day of May Facebook reminded me right now)…

…my father, a pediatrician, loved azaleas… my mother, an architect, Egyptologist, interior and garden designer… had created a flowerbed just for him… it's been 5 years since you passed away, dear dad… but your favorite flowers have never been as beautiful as today…

“And if these mountains had eyes, they would wake to find two strangers in their fences, standing in admiration as a breathing red pours its tinge upon earth's shore. These mountains, which have seen untold sunrises, long to thunder praise but stand reverent, silent so that man's weak praise should be given God's attention.” ~ Donald Miller

…and while the commuters return to their cities we will stay here for a couple more days… in this photo it seems like we are on the peaks but instead it is the most extreme corner of the garden where after a slight descent a thick blanket of clouds has spread over what is a simple meadow and not a precipice… the mountains seem closer than they actually are…
