I wanna tell you what I'm feeling but I can't you see
The world is in trouble why can't we be
A better example of humanity
I'm always wondering what if the world I'm in
Is another simulation of my soul within
Feel like I'm frozen in, the walls are closing in
I need to meditate inna me garden
See when I was a youth I used to dance and sing
Brainwashed from all the media and marketing
Trying to get love for all my brass and bling
All I ever really wanted was to just fit in
But now I'm zoning in, I'm really honing in
I elevate my mind and my soul within
My deadly joker grin is bouncing off my chin
Cause my mission is to spread the one loving"

Second day, different day, different way...
Today cammino was leading me through flat fields, little villages and nice little towns.Of course it started again with me taking the wrong way... although this time it was kind of expected, cause I trusted Google maps and its alternative route. But I was stopped by a gentle old Italian guy, who tried to explain why it's better to take the other way... and of course it turned out right! Would have missed a beautiful part of the way and walked on a boring main road instead...
Not that I really understood what he was talking about, but with good will you can always get along with each other.
But I noticed that I really have to learn more Italian words than birra=beer and grazie=thank you.
On the other hand it was a day with a lot of non verbal communication, it's amazing what a smile can do!
Met a lot of people on the road that answered my smile gently and with good wishes.
But back to the way... found it with some twists and turns, although it's far away from being well described by signs. No yellow arrows, just my guide and my intuition. When I finally made it to Montefalco I still had to find a place to stay, cause only one of the twelve couchsurfer I wrote to even answered. But that brought me to Luigi and his luxurious B&B... really great guy who offered to bring me back into town for dinner and even pick me up again afterwards.Italian hospitality!!
Another different topic I was thinking about inspired me to start todays entry with Dub Fx lyrics... the Manchester bomb.
Even before I noticed how often you can see armed police and army now, with bullet proofed vests and machine gun.
No matter if in Germany, Spain or Italy... but what does that do to us?
As so often it feels two sided to me.
At one hand I can understand the responsibility of governments to care for the well being of its citizens, on the other hand this acceptance of fear makes me even more sad. As individual I can trust that everything that happens must have sense and that I'm not able to make my life a second longer then it should be. But that's my personal point of view and I can totally understand anyone who is afraid. Unfortunately this is exactly what this attacks want to achieve... so how to react?! I don't think that fear can be the answer, but asking to love the attackers would make even more people calling me crazy. But how else we could break out of this vicious circle of anger and violence?
I don't know a path for humankind, but I know my path... and as long as I'm walking on this globe, I hope not to spend a single moment to fear and doubts - that's a task enough to keep me busy...
"Cause my mission is to spread the one loving..."
Ps to Gurmeet: Your throw-in...is excellent and flawless by now ;)!
