For my friends who run their old farm house as an "agriturismo", which is a kind of country restaurant, I take care of their social activity.
They also offer cultural, artistic and musical events, and are a quite known and appreciated reality in their environment.
Therefore my posts for them do not only present their vegetarian/vegan food but also include points to reflect upon.
Once a week, usually on Monday, I choose an Italian saying to propose some wise suggestions.
I found different sites with Italian "proverbi" (sayings) and it was astonishing to see the number of them! Some are quite scurrilous: I don't know exactly why, but they evoke in me the Pieter Bruegel (the elder) paintings. They have the same "vibration"...
In any case, always sharply wise.
Today I chose this one "A farmer without vigour, the land defeats him without any rigour!" The image I asked AI to create for me was to depict an exhausted farmer almost swalled up by a redundant mais harvest (the one I used for this post).
Yes, the saying refers to the farmer, but actually it is the very same with life. If you have no vigour, strength, determination, focus, will... life literally devours you. Sometimes little by little, sometimes in one bite.
Life is not for timid, tepid, weakling people.
