  1. So lovely and so true to my belief in what life after death will mean for me. I am profoundly moved by the beautiful words you found to capture such a moment. Please be safe Gabriela and stay home as much as possible. I am very excited to read your book. I studied Shakespeare in college and read Poe a lot and I would rather enjoy your words. Love you beautiful Button. 😘💕🌺🌸

    1. Good morning my dearest Joni.
      I am so humbled by your beautiful comment. Thank you so much.
      “I am very excited to read your book.” I am honored every time you write that.
      ” I studied Shakespeare in college and read Poe a lot and I would rather enjoy your words.” AW… you really left me breathless. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I don;t know what else to say.
      Have a blessed Sunday honeybun.

    1. I think I understand your interpretation 😉 But that’s not the only possible one. Look for more 🙂
      Wishing you a wonderful afternoon and please stay safe.

      1. Yap, you’ve made your point and I understand very well, but, this I am, especially în this times of darkness. Yf we lost the sense of humor it’s all over.
        Here is an image closer to reality.
        😉 😀

      2. Oh, no, don’t worry about. I fully understand that humor helps us in difficult times. And we should try to keep our spirits up. I took no offense. I knew you were joking 🙂 Take care.
        G.

  2. That photo, those words. I’d like to immerse myself in both of them. I’m curious, can you unlearn someone?

    Just beautiful dear G. Happy weekend 🌏🌈🌿☘️🌼❤️💜 xoxox

    1. Oh, thank you so much for being here my fabulous Rachel. You should rest sweetheart but I can’t say I am not happy you are here.
      “I’m curious, can you unlearn someone?” That is a very good question Rachel. I guess we will find out on the day of atonement 😉

  5. You’ve a beautiful soul Gabriela, I love your thoughts and your extremely powerful, passionate and lovely poetry/prose and photography!
    Stay safe, stay home,
    Al partir, un beso y una flor,
    un te quiero, una caricia y un adios,
    es ligero equipaje para tan largo viaje…
    cuidate mucho Gabriela,
    F.

    1. Muchas gracias, Francisco.

      Al partir, un beso y una flor,
      un te quiero, una caricia y un adios,
      es ligero equipaje para tan largo viaje…

      Al partir, un beso y una flor,
      una caricia y un adios,
      una lágrima del mar
      la pasión de ayer
      no me olvides
      amor

      Have a wonderful rest of the day and thank you again for the beautiful poem and for the praise.
      Stay safe.
      G.

      1. Thank you so much Francisco. It’s a gorgeous song. I am so glad you sent it to me. I’ll take credit for the modifications 🙂
        Next time you go out see if you can steal a spring flower from a garden… Don’t think High School. That is not what the Jesuits teach. Yet I don’t think it’s not such a big sin 🙂
        Thank you for everything, Francisco. Be well. Be happy.
        Gabriela

      2. Wow! Fantastic. When I was a little girl we had cherry trees in our yard. Yet I used to cross the street and steal cherries from our neighbor. I have no idea why I was doing that. I thought nobody knew. It turned out that everyone did. Haha!
        One day I will come to Valencia and we’ll steal a whole garden together. Then we’ll take the flowers and give each person in the street one. It will be a walk of flowers 🙂

      3. That’s a lovely lovely ideas Gabriela and in Valencia we’ve many flowers as well as orange 🍊trees in many of the streets of the city and Olivares in the river and rice in Albufera

      4. We’ll give everyone we meet a flower and an orange. We’ll have the party of flowers and oranges!

      5. Hehe..that’s even better! But…the oranges on those trees are sour oranges…we sell them to England where they make dulce de naranja 🍊 with them…so people will have to be satisfied with a flower from the stolen garden…

      6. Yes, but we will do it for one morning only. And we will steal them. And run with them in the streets 🙂

  6. I really like your blog. A pleasure to come stroll on your pages. A great discovery and a very interesting blog. I will come back to visit you. Do not hesitate to visit my universe. See you soon.

    1. I am humbled and honored by your words. Welcome to my blog. I follow you so I will visit your universe soon.
