Description

Many consider themselves connected but still very few see how the Earth, our home, is a tiny pilgrim in the vastness of the cosmos; a little still point in the grip of its rotation.
It is much more fragile than it may appear and that is why we must care for it and love it by talking to it and the organic life that characterises it.
That is why in recent years, after the fracture that has scarred the souls of many men, I began to travel to places (in Italy, France and Spain) where there was a need and demand to care for olive trees, vines, orchards, rose gardens and fields as well as dogs, cats, goats, sheep, horses and cows.
I met many people and helped them maintain their homes and prepare food for them and their guests.
I have talked to them and had many opportunities for confrontation and a few occasions for confrontation.
This and only this is the energy and love I can bring and bring where they decide and choose to host me.
Have a good life
Paolo

Molti si considerano connessi ma ancora molto pochi vedono come La Terra, la nostra casa, sia una piccola pellegrina nella vastità del cosmo; un punto poco fermo in preda alla sua rotazione.
Essa è molto più fragile di quanto possa apparire ed è per questo che dobbiamo curarla e amarla parlando con lei e con la vita organica che la caratterizza.
Per questo negli ultimi anni, dopo la frattura che ha segnato l'anima di molti uomini, ho cominciato a girare per luoghi (in Italia, Francia e Spagna) ove vi fosse necessità e richiesta di curarsi di ulivi, viti, frutteti, roseti e campi così come di cani, gatti, capre, pecore, cavalli e mucche.
Ho conosciuto molte persone e le ho aiutate nel mantenere la loro casa e a prepare il cibo per loro ed i loro ospiti.
Ho parlato con loro e ho avuto molte occasioni di confronto e qualche occasione di scontro.
Questa e solo questa è l'energia e l'amore che posso portare e apportare la ove decidono e scelgono di ospitarmi.
buona vita
Paolo
