Beauty will save the world.
F. Dostoevskij

Somebody asked me what inspires me to draw and, when I was reasoning on a complex answer, magically I saw a picture of Nate Griffin @kanakanate and the inspiration for a drawing (and the answer) came immediately!
I thought that she is so beautiful, her smile touches my heart. I thought that beauty is everywhere and makes you happy, even though you live in a slum of Mumbai and you miss a couple of teeth, together with a lot of other things that I cannot even imagine. Beauty is everywhere, what it needs is just time to look at it and a pure heart.
Hope you have time for your dose of beauty today and that she can keep this smile forever. -

Not always rebels can change the world. But the world will never change the rebels.

I have always been admiring the people who can stay on their feet and fight for themselves, whomever they stand in front of. The ones who keep the rebel child inside, who won't accept nonsense and that won't miss a chance to challenge the status quo, even if it will cost a price. My parents could recognize I loved making "art", since my ability to keep a pencil in my hands, but were extremely scared of what art could offer me: surely not a 'regular' life, not the ones they had been dreaming about, for me, to protect me. And I have tried to walk their path for a long while, and enjoyed many aspects of it. And here I am now, trying to give space to the little me, who still wants to be a rebel. Just like this little one, dressed up for an important event, with her 'savage' finger in the nose: I hope she made a big laugh after being caught :).

I bet you also have some ideas, plans and challenges floating in your mind since ever... I have as well: a few with already a rough shape, they look like more baby projects. Some ideas are just like that persistent drop, dripping from the tap every five seconds. It won't let me go. And when I think I got free, here it comes again to the surface, with inspirations and oceans of chances and risks, just ready to be sailed with a little bit of courage.
Have you been called many times a fantasist or a visionary? you and your visions are just blessed! -

"My child,
You are so full of laughter
And it's our greatest power "
Jyoti Patel, The Curved Rainbow - - -
Can't remember when was the last time I laughed so much I could not stop, so much that my belly was aching. Laughing like there is no tomorrow, like there's nothing more important. It's probably one of those skills that come natural when you are a child and that we forget in adult life. Have you had a good laughter today? I really hope so! more than one! If not there's still time, before one day goes without a drop of elixir of long life for you, hope you enjoy every cozy sip. Cheers! - - -

"No place feels like home to me
I thought to myself while going away"
Chiara Galiazzo - Nessun posto e' casa mia

I see an amazing picture of @helenwhittlephotography ,and a song is in the air. I start drawing it and my memory flies to some place in the past.
I have been moving many times in my life since the first time I had been leaving my family home. Sometimes I changed a lot in a moving, once I changed more: house, city, country, continent. That time, and all the other "last times", I looked at the house which had been my home with big eyes: it's more than walls and floors to look at, and all the times the feeling that I would have not come back was heartbreaking.
And I can see myself with all my life in a suitcase, walking alone to find a taxi to the airport, and tears in my eyes, challenging the future. Those tears were watering my scared soul, and slowly softened the fears to let space to my dreams.
The sound of my lonely steps in the night, I see a taxi waiting for a new traveller. My new life begins. -
