It could be "make love not war"...

...indeed the overall headline of the last days could be "make love not war". But before I let you know why, thank you primo for your encouragement, thank you Andrea for the wonderful photo, thank you New Order for the Perfect Kiss and thank you Bulgaria for the wonderful selection on your Eurovision song!!!

So, the first part of the headline, "make love" is shaped by the following little stories...

Brighton (where I was from 27/4 to 1/5) is the city of love - in a way - in England. Despite what the people say, it is a city that I would like to spend a couple of days with my future love...

It's been a while since I've last seen such a lovely, lovable and loving group in a training course...Well, in fact I don't want to categorize or to compare the groups I am working with once every group is unique, special and wonderful...But this one, hmmm...still I can't answer why but it, at least, offered me a lot of stimuli for reflection...

Connected to the previous paragraph, last night in this training course, party night, was love-overflow...Pfffff, so much love in the air, we could share with half of the world!

And Perfect Kiss is a lot about love...It was late in the night, dancing and singing with lovely people (see above) and suddenly someone (I think it was Marion...) selected it; and it did so from my laptop. I have this song since ages ago but never listened to it before...My reaction was, f*********************ck...Coelho was so right to let us know that the things that value the most are very close to us; it just takes a whole trip to the universe to make our eyes able to see them...

And the 1st of May was a lot about love and unity. The farm of "Daskalos" offered the necessary space for nice young people we are, to discuss, to play, to dring, to eat, to share and to enjoy the wonderful day and the atmosphere.

Fuuuu, the flow inside my brain is so smooth and tender that I find no reason to switch it to the second, "not war" part... But our friends need support and will to support starts from awareness...

I was shocked to hear my friend Maris from Estonia telling me about the situation the last days there; in fact my friend Stelios had already told me a couple of things about it (and he will be happy to know now that I made a reference to him :) ). I hadn't been so emotionally charged since....I can't recall. I looked for and at the news, I watched at videos (cafebabel.com) and to be honest I am worried a lot about the situation there. Fortunately, the days now are very peaceful, and I hope that both sides will take the necessary measures and make the necessary steps towards harmony before the 9th of May, a day planned for a demonstration...Not sure who is right or wrong, but in fact I don't care...I only care about the safety of the people and the peace among them and for this I am determined to do anything...Anyway, the 18th of May I'll be there for another training, so I will have a "first hand" look at the situation... And above all, I will be with my friends that I love so much.

It doesn't smell like war, but still situation in Turkey is totally unstable, at least this is what I can pump out of the news...With the wish that things will get better for our Turkish friends...

Just please, wherever you are and whatever you do, think of the fact that some people, friends, are suffering (yes, suffering...it is even much more than suffering not to be able to approach your home...) at the moment and they need support; our support. So give!

Indeed, a week with lots of emotions; and lots of clothes in my wardrobe (another "war" :) ) waiting to be packed; Poland here I come!

Love ***
