La bellezza suscita ammirazione,

l'ammirazione porta al lavoro,

il lavoro è per resuscitare.

Cyprian Norwid

La Thuile

Almost heaven,

West Virginia,

Blue Ridge Mountains,

Shenandoah River.

Life is old there,

older than the trees,

younger than the mountains,

growin' like a breeze.

Country roads,

take me home,

to the place I belong.

West Virginia, mountain momma,

take me home, country roads.

All my mem'ries,

gather 'round her,

miner's lady,

stranger to blue water,

dark and dusty

painted on the sky,

misty taste of moonshine,

teardrop in my eye.

I hear her voice,

in the mornin' hours she calls me,

the radio reminds me of my home far away.

And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'

that I should have been home yesterday,

yesterday.

John Denver, Take Me Home Country Roads

(Shake it up)

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music

And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

And suppose I never ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better

I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all of this music

Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart

Who's to say
What's impossible
Well they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away

Who's to say
I can't do everything
Well I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning spinning round and round and

Upside down
Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away

Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Is this how it's supposed to be
Is this how it's supposed to be

Su ogni istante grava il peso dell'eterno.

Ada Negri

Crosby, MN 17 giugno 22.25

While Praying One Day A Woman Asked, "Who Are You, Lord?" He Answered, "I Am" "But Who Is I Am?" She Said. And He Replied... "I Am Love, I Am Peace, I Am Grace, I Am Joy, I Am The Way, Truth, And The Light... I Am The Comforter, I Am Strenght, I Am Safety, I Am Shelter, I Am Power, I Am The Creator, I Am The Beginning And The End, I Am The Most High." The Girl With Tears In Her Eyes Looked Toward Heaven And Said, "Now I Understand. But Lord, Who Am I?" Then God Tenderly Wiped The Tears From Her Eyes And Whispered, "You Are Mine."
