Resting in Perfection

letting the swell of the sea follow me, bobble me, surround me . . . I give way to the comfort of the water enveloping me completely. It is to say, a moment of purity for my soul. I am resting there, in the azure Adriatic, in perfection.

What can I hope to find this trip?? I am hoping to find the many measures of my love for Puglia. I am an avid traveller, having spent many days discovering new and exciting ports of call. For me, the passion which manifested itself in my soul in Italy has never been rivaled. I remember it as though it were this day, feelings awakening in me, deeply housed and not easy to recognize. Once these mysterious and omniscient creations from my brain, and from regions much deeper, were released into the quiet atmosphere around me, it was already a dream I would desire realizing. I had to be in Italy, I had to dwell there often if not forever. I love my country, my friends, my family certainly . . . but I also found a new passion rising fully and most earnestly through to the surface. That passion can only be described as "la dolce vita" and for me, that sweet life is in Italy.

Buongiorno . . . ci vediamo! See you all again tomorrow, Cheryl
