Create memories


«4. Create significant memories with what the moment is offering me and share them with my loved ones.»
                                                          By Raquel R. in My Perfect Summer Day

«Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one.»

                                                                                                               C.S. Lewis

A garden and a book


«2. Waking up with the sun shining through the cracks in the window pane. Allow my eyes to slowly adjust to daylight and then read a book.»

Life is simple


«1.Deliberately neglect time and its effects. The alarm clock is no longer the villain of the day as it was coercively downgraded to a merely figurative role.»

My perfect summer day


1. Deliberately neglect time and its effects. The alarm clock is no longer the villain of the day as it was coercively downgraded to a merely figurative role. 
2. Waking up with the sun shining through the cracks in the window pane. Allow my eyes to slowly adjust to daylight and then read a book. 
3. Dare to break patterns, dressing codes and just go with the flow. 
4. Create significant memories with what the moment is offering me and share them with my loved ones. 
5. Obey no rules, except the ones destined to satisfy basic human needs or maintain law and order. 
6. Spend most of my time outdoors and experience the joys of a close contact with nature. 
7. At the end of the day, look up at the starry sky, visualize a trail amongst the stars and try to figure out where summer is taking me the next day.  
 I hope you are all enjoying your summer, wherever you are!

The most amazing creation


«A strong sense of gratitude invaded her heart and she felt blessed for having been able to witness one the most amazing miracles in life: the growth and transformation of a precious human being.»

«Live in the now»

What we leave behind


«At that point she decided not to open the bedroom’s door. It was time that she set him free and let him find his own path.»
                                                  By Raquel R. in Short Story number 8

«All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.»

                                                                                          Anatole France

Sounds that make you smile


«She closed her eyes and listened carefully. On the other side of that threshold, where the past and present intertwined, she could still hear the echoes of his voice while he sang, countless times, his favourite song, like a mantra to the universe.»  
                                                              By Raquel R. in Short Story number 8

«Stay close to any sounds that make you glad you are alive» 
                                                                                                             Hafiz
