Winter is coming


  1. We are now reached the time of general happiness and excitement caused by the Christmas and New Year. But it is also an important moment in the Nature – the winter solstice. We usually don’t think about these because everybody worries about preparation for the celebration, presents, decorations, cooking Christmas dishes. I can’t deny, all these things involve and bring a lot of satisfaction, but it is not bad to look for the distraction elsewhere. After eating abundant dishes it is good to go out to take a fresh air. I’m lucky because I leave close to the wood and have the privilege to enjoy a long walk in the winter forest. You can say that it is a sad place in winter, but it is not true at all. Coniferous trees are gifted with the copious green needles. The wet earth, the plants, all emanate characteristic intangible perfume. Theses perfumes stimulate your breath that enhance your blood circulation and thanks to it you can feel a positive energy. The trees seemed to protect from the noise and chaos of the places with human habitats, streets, factories, all that we need to live but what make our daily life annoying. Walking in the wood is propitious for the talk as the silence create a particular atmosphere that encourage the openness and sincerity. You can also feel a plenty of agreeable delicate sounds like crunching twigs and most under your feet or whistling of friendly wind. So, in the end I whish to all a Happy Christmas, and a small walk in the wood, perhaps

Not proper for Christmas, but advisable for distraction

Even though now is a moment favourable for rather light matters I’d like to share with you my interest for cinema of rather tough genre. Generally I prefer European movies but if I was asked to choose the American movies that impressed me the most I would choose:   Donnie Brasco,  Scarface Goodfellas, God Father . All titles mentioned before are linked by some features they treat: the   problem of mafia in USA, the stereotype of Italian family dedicated men, the playing of actors with Italian roots like: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Joe Pesci. I have seen all these cinematographic masterpieces several times and they always get me involved. The problem of the mafia never gets older and what is terrifying, the mechanism of how it works is indestructible.   We can observe a model civils that takes wrong path and the cruelty of mafiosos. What astonish the most, is that personalities of the main protagonists, merge a violence against their victim with a tenderness and lim

The rythym in caos

Tricolori , simbolo dell’Italia is sharing two of three colours with Polish flag. What else do we share with Italian? How do we differ? I’d like to show it on the examples of the traditional cuisine, food, eating habits. Morning When I wake-up in the morning one of the first think I do is to prepare caffetiera . I love waiting my coffee and listening the sound when it’s coming out, making characteristic a sound, it seems to saying me : Have a good day!. Traditional Italian coffee makes by moka or express is one of the most delightful things that exist (a bit of exaggeration, yes, but it is truth). In Italy coffee is basic for the breakfast, Italians take it with few biscuits or croissants, while   Poles do it during after- lunchtime hours. Noon In Italy all over the country between 12 and 15 there is an obligatory   break for lunch. The streets became empty, restaurants crowded, Italians are dedicating themselves to the second national religion, the kitchen. In Poland some

Walk

Walking is an activity I would recommend to everybody, to those who usually do sports which demand a lot of effort as well as to couch potatoes. When you stroll,   not only do excercise your body but you also activate your mind. As time allows, it is advisable to go out and observe the seasons changing, to perceive the scent of air and vagetation, to look the colours surrounding you. You are always free to choose wether you need  company, for your promenade. There are many of us who would choose walk a dog. Most  dogs do wanny walk by your side, but they tend to lead you. My dog, which was also my friend, was an exception. She used to follow me and at the same time bouncebl  kind of ball. This amusing image makes me smile when I amble these days. To benefit of a pleasant promenade it’s good to have a companion. Neverthelss, with or without your a dog, now is a time to leave the couch, skip the gym and feel the autumn atmosphere outdoors.
