Kisses and goodbye

For a few weeks I will be away from my blog.

Thank you all my dear friends for your lovely comments and make me smile..

Tschüss und Auf Wiedersehen!!

Sealed with a Smile 

A double smile had come to seal this story; I don't know if the story will be continued, but I do know that life itself will continue its stories; and maybe someday, Ariostos  the Observant will be able to cross the borders of each and every country, by showing a rose for his passport picked from his own humble garden or from the rose-garden of Lidice: the Rose Garden of Worldwide Friendship. And maybe someday, through myriads of struggles and vigils and excavations inside as well as outside us, inside history and inside the future, we will arrive at the Land of Smiles, out there beyond race and religion and tradition and language, where Man will recognize Man as his brother, from the same smile full of self-knowledge, and all men will exchange gazes and feelings of an universally human creative offering of thanks.
