Where all begin...

those days...

This constant and absolute struggle...
between what we want and what we desire... 
what we should do, and we shouldn't do... 
the paths we should follow and shouldn't follow ...
those feelings and emotions, and those dreams and expectations...
this constant rush of wishes that don't find the way to come true
and this flashs of images that come from the past rushing trough
the things that are actually happening,
and create this crazy misinterpretation of what is really going on around,
and bring us to that place that doesn't exist...
But you know what?
I really like it there!
That place  between what I wish and what I achieve...
this moment where you truly believe it is happening!
What?
What ever you what!
Because your ideas are vibrating
Your dreams are pumping your heart
And that is enough to keep you smiling!

that place where
everything keeps growing

 those paths

with no signs
that we continue following

that place...

where truly...

I want to be!  

Strawberry cheesecake...

slows down our days!

There is this sweetness in the slow motion of those moments,
that we want to keep forever in our memories...
I believe that we make time go slower not only to enjoy those moments,
but also to give our brain enough time to paint those memories with bright colours!
So if you take time to look at this slow motions... you will see...
The sweetness of that warm hug...
Or the sweetness of that big smile...
And if you just let yourself go, suddenly you will see, 
that all around us is in slow motion...
So, no hurry, I´m painting these moments!

come slowly
...
take your time
... 

I'll be hidden
in the sweetness of this slow motions
...

Time is just time...

so lets have it with some wine!

Set your clock with mine, and let that time go!
Don't over think it , don't expect to much,
forget the time, and if it is fast or slow.

Set your clock with mine and let it flow.
Don't  interpret my words, just hear my voice...
Words are just words... but a voice can be music:)...

when  you just stop having those perfect dancing moves...
Don't let yourself  be swallowed by this silence and those cold feet,
sunny days are coming!!! 

"spring" up that smile!


sleepy days
...
 

Little girls&little cakes...

...for long days!

There is always this silence at the end of the days...
And this excitement and expectation at the begginings of the days...
and when the days become longer, the silence becomes louder, yelling at our years: "don't fall asleep" 
Make these days last forever!!
This time, lets not leave this excitement  for the day after... 
lets keep it here and let it yell louder, then this cold silence!!!!
This day is for you little girl... make it last!

Jumping!! Jumping!! Jumping!!

...so high! 

There are the ones that fly, and the ones that jump! 

Either way, in the middle they always find themselves, in that space in air 

where they both have their feet of the ground!

So don't worry to much if you just jump... don't over think it, if you are a flyer!
We always find ourselves in that gap in space... between the clouds and the ground!

Jump high... fly low...

in between 
let's stop for a coffee :)

Sometimes people makes you

jump real high!

Don't make detours
follow your way!
