We are all made of stars

In case some of you didn't know....we are made of stars. We are made of the same basic elements that form the stars.  "We are a way for the universe to know itself. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star stuff."   Carl Sagan 1980.  Enjoy:

Ishida

Wow. That's all I have to say. Wow when I saw this artist's work. Surrealism in all his potential, Japanese artist Tetsuya Ishida can leave you speechless with his work. ( Or at least I was..) 
                 Killed by a train in 2005,  representing the ordinary japanese life was his only goal, painting it from a very... raw perspective. Taking a look at some of his pieces felt like chewing a piece of lime with a liiiitle bit of tabasco. I loved it!  Raw. Heavy political and social content.


                                                                                                                       Tetsuya Ishida.


Wow.

Time for peace

Good morning people!


One of the things I love the most(besides a good coffee) is to listen to a good song in the morning and 
to get some inspiration with a good quote or image that can keep me up on that "state" of mind for the rest of the day.
Amazing photographs, by Kuni Takahashi had just made my day. It's time for global peace. 


I recently heard, 
            Peace is not something we must struggle or fight for. Peace is possible through universal human consciousness. It will be, when we are all able to interiorize and visualize peace in our minds, when peace will become a reality.  


                                                                                         Get inspired. 

                                                                                                           Enjoy these pics.

People of Cuzco

Peru 
                    is not only a country that can take your breath away with it's wild nature and landscapes but also with its people. Your heart will be wrapped and trapped by its habitants warmness and kindness.Their genuine singular style.....

I was specially amazed with Cuzco. This city has completely stopped in time.Its streets built of stones hundreds of years old give the city a vibe where the time has stopped.

People

live their live outdoors

and if you can, sit drinking some coca mate tea and watch how often people can keep their conversation per hours on the streets.

                                                                                                              No hurry.

                                                                                                                                                    

         If you get a chance to visit this lost in time and space city, I recommend you to try a

  Lucuma dessert, to walk intensively the streets of Cuzco and to be ready for the altitude. Drink big amounts of water, chew coca leaves and enjoy your journey..

Back in town.

Back in the lady city, San Francisco, after 20 amazing days in Peru. Still with the entire summer ahead to keep seeking for wonderful things. Have a great weekend everyone...
