Reports from paradise:

Beauty is a concept, a mind perception- a thought. We all know that anything can be beautiful if we see it that way, if we make a conscious choice to find beauty.
I have seen many beautiful sites. From the top of The Empire, the city of NY burns in the sun, tainted with an orange, red colour, massive and luminous, a beautiful witness of development and economic power.

Crossing the desert, facing the emptiness and the heat, dust on my face, on top of a horse, I see another beautiful site: far farway the top of the Pyramids rest as an old world, lost and survived, intact and certain of itself on a blue velvet sky.
As we ride close, the pyramids show their imposing sight, and the sphinx sits like a real queen of the desert, guarding and welcoming the passers by. It is beautiful!

On a sunday morning, we get the newspaper, get the bikes out, and drive to Hyde Park in London.The sun is out, the clouds are gone, we must enjoy, and there's green everywhere you look. For a few hours you forget you're in a huge city, you lay a sheet on the grass, near the lake, and relax, and you can see the ducks, the swans, the little birds, the flowers- and all of it is lovingly arranged in a design and order that is pleasant and so you admire the beauty of the kingdom.

You travel inside India, and you go up the mountains to see the sunset in hampi, and you climb the historical and enormous rocks of the Hindustan saying Hello to the monkeys and when you reach the top you look 360 degrees around you and you feel like you're seeing the world! I mean, you see miles and miles of green rice fields, full of life contrasting with a very blue sky full of flying eagles, you see the temples on tops of the other surrounding mountains like a dreamshore and you think: oh boy! this is ...beautiful!!!

Ok, you go up the mountain of Pao de Acucar all the way up to the viewpoint, and you face Humanity! You can see the cityscapes for miles surrounded by green lush from the mountains and a very blue ocean saying Hi to a likewise blue sky and you're seeing a beautiful city!!!

Or head to the amazonic forest, hear the birds, unexpected and vibrant; head to rajastan and discover labyrintic markets of spices and colour; head to the Himalayas and be fascinated by the dimension of silence!

From east to West the world is full of beauty and I'm sure you can find it everywhere, even around the corner from your house, and even inside of your own home.
Surely beauty lives within us, and we can feel it even if we're blind!

BUT......I have never seen anything, ANYTHING, SO breathtakingly beautiful like I did yesterday!!!

I dived into the ocean, still in The Andeman Islands and I've seen a new world!
Miles and miles of corals, exquisite colourful plants, wonderful beautiful shells cover the ground where fish with the most varied colours, sizes and shapes live in. It's very hard to describe because down there, in the deep ocean, the mind is not working, so you don't assimilate things the same way. A new awareness arises within you, you don't just see beauty in the aquatic life, you feel it, you are it!

Yellow, orange, pink, blue, brown, white, black- all of this in fluro psychadelic, shinning and glittery! I saw enormous fish, sea snakes, And a TURTLE face to face as big as me and you keep swimming and you keep seeing them...alll 3d like if you're inside NEMO!! And you can't believe it wasn't put there for you, and you didn't pay a ticket...

You just realize life is so wild and great and full of surprises all the time!

NOW, THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
