It is Finished!!!!!

Finally, the book is finished! It was tiring, but very exciting to daily commitment on the adventure in the Egyptian desert along with Fabio. We both have retraced, step by step, our journey and described the situations we experienced together, and told by me and by him at the same time is really exciting. Fabio was very good at describing his encounter with an environment completely unknown to him, the emotions of the encounter and the experience throughout the days, but the highlight was the discovery of the changes he personally experienced in the desert. His serenity, the security acquired in a short time, him feeling protected in an environment considered hostile, that he could not see, was an incredible change. When this happened two years ago, for me it was an extraordinary discovery, but then through the path of Desert Therapy, I discovered that it is not, that this happens regularly to those who came with me to walk in the desert, those who experience it in its most true and deep form. I look forward to November when the book finally comes out: I'm curious to see if those who read it will feel part of our emotions. The title? We are trying to decide in these days .................

Always writing!

The manuscript due date of the book is approaching and the excitement is increasing. I am in the process of closing the book and time seems to fly by, there is never enough time to finish everything!

Fabio sent me his work a long time ago, and I am now putting it together with my text, trying to avoid repetition in the narration of our journey. I'm satisfied even though I’m tired, and I really hope that this book will satisfy the curiosity of readers who want to know what happened in two weeks we spent crossing the Egyptian desert.

These days, because of the good weather, I'm working on the balcony and here I found a wonderful surprise. I discovered I was not alone: a pair of robins found an object hanging in the ideal conditions for their nest, and as I write I am accompanied by the comings and goings of parents intent on taking care of their little one, which I hear chirping in the container that has become their home. I cannot see them and I do not want to disturb or frighten them because it's beautiful to share the small space with them, as they are not at all intimidated by my presence. Each of us is dedicated to our work diligently without worrying about the presence of the other and it is wonderful to have the animals next to me especially at this time, I consider it a good omen. When I wrote "Desert", a family of owls was perched all the time on the tree outside my window. “Silent in the sand” I wrote with my lovely ferret, Baby, always on his knees. Now there are the robins to keep me company: thanks my fellow adventurer friends for giving me with your presence and so much serenity.

Happy Easter

Easter is late this year; we are already at the end of April and the warm spring brings thoughts of summer, and its days filled with light and the warmth of the sun on your skin.

Unfortunately, every year the traditions associated with this holiday are more and more abandoned, and it is turning into a frantic weekend of traffic, a holiday little associated with this very important event. Lent and Good Friday devoted to fasting, and then the party that features eggs, the symbols of Easter are almost forgotten, especially in large cities. Let's slow down our rushed pace, at least for a few hours, and may our thoughts return to childhood, when together with our family, we devoted more time to ourselves and to remembering the holiday that united us and taught us to cultivate and keep alive the value of tradition. I truly hope for an Easter full of peace and calm.
