Saints’ day. Michael, also Mikael, Michel, Miguel, Mihail, Miquel, Michaela, Michelle, and Mihaela

“If you remove my demons, I would lose my angels”.
(Tennessee Williams)

……………….

Dear friends, in my opinion the religions do business and manipulate our deepest and mystical feelings. They have been the bloodiest justification in the history of the wars of mankind.
They make dogma between angels and demons, and between ‘the good’ and ‘the evil’ just as insurance companies qualify drivers, as ‘bonus’ and ‘malus’.
All this although the contradictions and the feelings in human mind, are certainly: “Complementary and Inseparable”.

Thanks so much for your visit!

Tourist and transport

“The real voyage consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes in front the new places” (Marcel Proust).
Next week some people will travel and others, like me, will remain in our customary places. To those I wish them, a happy trip, but for us too. We can to prepare our next (maybe I will go to Germany on Christmas) or simply close our eyes and dream with these sketches.  The first, about London is dedicated to a very good friend of mine:

Have a wonderful trip and a nice stay Sara !  The next days you’ll be in my mind.
