Samhain 2015

My Samhain Candle outside on the balcony, this year, is dedicated to all those Wandering Souls who have lost their body in the Mediterranean Sea whilst escaping from war in search of a better life.

May this candle be a beacon, 

a lighthouse,

to your way back home.

May your wanderings finally come to rest,

and your fears turned to safety.

May your tears of despair, 

become seeds of hope,

in the vastness of mankind.

May your courage to face death,

become our wake up call.

May your sacrifice,

strengthens Humanity.

May the coldness of the sea,

and the indifference of governments,

turn into a warm embrace,

as the Guardians of the Portal,

usher you to your Divine Self.

Safe Travels.

Blessed Be.

Review Book: Hidden Truths

I was asked by the author to review this book. In this review, please bear in mind that I did not read the other two books preceding Hidden Truths so, much of the pathos and details I could only partially savour.
What I can presume is that this book is sort of an epilogue of a very intense and troubled relationship between the two women protagonist in the second world war period with all its atrocities. And from what I can guess, in the previous books our heroines had their personal stories laced in such barbarities but also graced with great acts of courage, love and patriotism.
Eva and Zoe have an incredible love forged through unspeakable events that only in this last book the details from behind the scenes emerge. This book comes through to me as the volume that brings healing to wounds both physical and physiological, individual and family wise and as a fresh start to many questions that were left unanswered.
So I would suggest to read the previous books if you would like to enjoy to the full the dramatic plot that unfolds in a very heart rendering saga.

Gypo (2005)

It's strange how many sides to a story there can be. How many realities and emotions there can be to the same single fact.
This film made me think of how nothing we know of other people's life even if we thoroughly think we know the person.
A slow paced film based I think in Dover or a village nearby. The harsh reality of misunderstandings between wife and husband, mother and daughter, locals and refugees.
Have patience but it is worth watching.
