A tough work

  Ancient teachings show us the sublime Way to transform our life into something worth living. They are not secret, they are evident, very simple, but challenging. However people prefer to think of the highest thruths as a kind of supernatural special gift that, if discovered, would make them powerful and very much similar to God. But because of some conspiracies, this so special "magic" gift is kept secret, so that common people won't find it and will remain in misery.  In reality things are quite elementary but extremely demanding. In order to get to the highest splendor you must work hard on yourself in order to get rid of the rubbish you created in your inside as well as in your environment, or that you absorbed from the others and the situations around you.  Of course, for the majority it is much more exciting to believe they will reach the super gift without any real work on themselves, if they only find the right information giving them the key to the enchanted shr...

a surprising decision

Yesterday I came up with an incredible decision - "incredible" for my standard of approach to life. I decided I will take two weeks off.

This week and the next are the "settimane di ferragosto", that is the feriae Augusti, in latin, still referring to a public holiday originated from the festival of Emperor Augustus who made 1 August (the month with his name!) a day of rest after weeks of hard work on the agricultural sector [Wikipedia]. In Italy it switched from the 1st of August to the 15th, making the two weeks containing this day the general Italian holidays where everything is closed. Especially years ago, the main cities and towns were completely empty, as everyone was enjoying their holidays at the see or in the hills or mountains!

Besides we are in the second heat wave which is quite heavy. The first one in June was somehow more bearable - although the temperature did reach 38 degrees! - but previously we went through a relatively "cold" end of Spring that made that sudden heat tolerable.

Now it is different. And the hours from around four/five in the afternoon up to eight/nine in the evening are the most intense with the heat that reaches 38 degrees.

The most intense heat wave I ever experienced was in Central Italy where already in the very morning it was very hot with the heat growing up to 40 degrees. I remember I spent the most unmerciful hours in bed with the ventilator, that kept going through the entire nights, because the heat didn't stop. Only in the early hours of dawn there was a short relief, that lasted only a few hours!

Luckily now, the nights are fine and the rest is assured!
