Wind over my face,
silences like prayers for peace...
Will our hearts keep their promises,
made today among seable tears?
Or will time running erase the words,
the unsaid ones too,
that we all seem to believe
in these days of sudden despare?
All I know is that mankind wants love...
All I ever felt is that we can be
brothers and sisters
cos we all just want to live...
So here's my hand,
I show you my heart with smile sincere...
Take it,
and let's walk together:
I see no colours,
I see every colour
as part of the rainbow of life:
our languages are one just in the end,
and we have to start singin together
for a new era of understanding,
learning how to make respect growing,
like perfumed flowers that will break
weapons of hate among us.

Hi everyone!
I am publishing this picture formerly titled "Running Tracks Meli" and given past year to Synapse for a postwork (that still be in my living room as beloved gift from him) to send you all some salutation for the incoming 2 months.
Like some of you might know from my site blog, I have been in Rome during the past week for Pope's celebrations and funerals.The apartment Stef had when in Rome workin was just aside Vatican, yes,in that road where every television showed queing of hundreds thousands people past days. We couldn't miss the chance.
Well, I haven't lived that as "religious fanatism". Nor I had taken pics.. why take them?Images hardly could explain the atmosphere of soul that deeply, especially in such a moment of thoughts belongin to merely heart.
I personally tried to live everything like a soulful moment. Silence, and reflections.
I met people from the world. There were non religious people there, I met muslims and jewish genuinely touched by the event and by the man.
Like I wrote in the blog, I wasn't agreeing with all the former Pope did: I found his vision about women and sex belonging to Middle age. But I admired his constant, unbreakable, totally spiritual and true wish for peace, tolerance and communication among peole like an extraordinary sign of greatness, especially in bad times of religious fanatisms from every side. I wrote all in my blog, so I won't repeat myself here about the matter.. if you want know more, read in there more :).
What I want you to know is that I have made up my mind in the past days and I want to spend some times these incoming months doing real things for kids. A volunteer trial, something that won't be made with religious associations, but something anyway mattering, hopefully for the kids first.
Therefore, for a couple of months I won't draw nor paint. I'll try to paint "making life worthwhile" for others. You can write me mails, I won't be totally absent from internet , I just give up my artistic hobbies for 60 or 70 days, I am sure you all understand me fully.
I'm gonna miss your art, but I am sure when I get back here I will see everything with eyes new and a heart more pulsing in the right chord. And art vision will shine even more, I am sure :)
Take care everyone :)
See you soon, and don't forget to write me mails in the maintime. :)
Luv Luv Luv :) Your Meli :)

tutto buon per il futuro prossimo ...
Oh Meli, Life's so beautiful isn't it? The Pope embraced his death not as death because that's not what it is..it's true life. You were right not to document your time there with photographs, but the one above shows a soulful you. Trying to relate your experience there with photos would be like trying to take images of a dream. Or trying to make people feel how you felt there in. You're a special beautiful person for sharing just this much with us.
wonderful thoughtful expression in this excellent portrait! also impressive words! ;o)
Take your time, Meli - and have fun with the kids! Will be here to hear your impressions on the experience when you come back :)
Bellissimo primo piano, intensa espressione ed in evidenza le tue labbra che sembrano disegnate...complimenti :-)
This is a beautiful photo, very nature. I love the expression in her eyes... You take care Meli!
Tr belle image ma che :=)
Nice picture of you, Meli - and your words ring so VERY true. Enjoy your time with the children - I can't wait to see the effect they have on your art when you return to it. Oh to be able to see thru a child's eye again...
Thanks for sharing your beautiful photo and your thoughts... so true! Hope you're having a wonderful time with the children... will wait here to hear about your experience when you're back again. Take care! All the best! hugz
Missed you and hope all is well ! Hugz xx
Fantastic photo Meli! I love the lighting on your face. I wish you luck the next couple of months in doing what you have to do. We'll see you within 2 or 3 months. Take care! Hugz, Tjeerd
Sometimes ... time is passing without having a chance to get in touch with ... our life. I am sure you will follow your heart! Take care ...
You truly are an angel. Heather
Excellent photograph Meli!! Take care of yourself;o)
Excellent Auto shot!!! happy to see you !!! Bisous!!!!
I second all the above written words and wish you all the power, luck, and success you need. Have a peaceful time.
Thanks!!!
Very beautiful and melancholic (or wondering?) portrait!!!
I am surprised I missed this excellent portrait of yourself. I hope your journey finds you peace that you seek
Probably my favorite image of you. Nothing much I can say except that as usual, your words and images carry a special warmth. I think that what you're planning to do for the next few months is a credit to you and will no doubt enrich your life and that of the ones around you. I wish you all the best. You are a source of joy and inspiration.
I hope you'll reconsider and take some pictures of kids, and show them how to take pictures. Opening their eyes to what art and word and love can combine to create would be a worthy, "real" gift to impart. Peace and joy to you on this journey!
Beautiful portrait and mood, poem...:O)
Mi, there is just no one like you, and those children will be blessed to have such an incredible soul in their midst. Bless you and hope to see you again soon (I know I commented on this MUCH too late). BACI!!

So beautiful, just the way I always picture you, but you look so sad my friend. I know the Pope was so much a part of your Faith, so I mourn with you. God bless you my friend! Have a wonderful day!...Cheryl
