Listening to one of my favorite songs (video below), I began to relive memories of a place I adore, a place where I have family, a place where I tasted the most delicious pizza on earth, a place I haven’t visited for a long time, I place I’d love to explore all over again with my children.
Roaming the streets alone
Finding secret spaces
Stealing inspiration
From the people
And the pavement
Skipping the ordinary
Making my own itinerary
Discovering new favorites
Without a single disappointment
Recording every future memory
Wandering from west to east
And everywhere in between
I write about her to fill the void
Too many months have faded away
Without my feet touching her ground
She misses me and I miss her
The moment has arrived
I must prepare for my return
A favorite of mine. I think it’s one of the most beautiful songs ever…

Loved this:
Stealing inspiration
From the people
And the pavement
Enjoyed this because it is exactly how I feel – observing and finding inspiration in what most people overlook. Thank you for creating and sharing this.

I love it when I create something and there is a line or two I find interesting. Makes me feel like I can actually be brilliant – at least for a couple lines out of hundreds of drivel.

Not too far… 4-ish hrs by train…less if I drive to a closer station and take the train from there…. (Not that I’m admitting to speeding on the highway… No no not me.) 🙂 it would be lots of fun!
