~Vincent van Gogh
The quiet mind is filled with screaming memories. Only if I could yell them out into words.
We visited Rome, Italy for five days during Jan 2012. It was just überamazing!
We witnessed the magnificent art treasures of the Vatican Museums. We sat on a bench in the Sistine Chapel with our sore necks bended and wandered with Laocoön and His Sons. With all the jewels of exuberant kind we felt so tiny inside the mighty St. Peter’s Basilica watching breathlessly the Pietà of Michelangelo.
With bouncing heart I sat in the room of John Keats at the Keats-Shelley house. What a peaceful haven that is. In the center of stunning tourist flow, which revolves around the Spanish Steps. This humble experience was the ultimate zenith point of the voyage. Something that could overcome even the cherry gelato by the fountain of Neptune at sunny piazza Navona.
Life’s not the breaths you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain’t what it’s all about
Ya just might miss the point
Try’n to win the race
Life’s not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away
"The Breath You Take" is a country music song by George Strait.
And, yep yeppers, we did throw coins into the Fountain of Trevi.
