Ben tornata a Firenze

After flying over snow-capped mountains just north of Tuscany, we landed in Florence this afternoon where the skies were clear and the sun was shining high above. The second I got off the plane, I took in a deep breath and felt my body relax a little bit. It was a joy to sense the warm air brush against my face. I’m finally home, I thought to myself.

I have been away from my beloved city for six weeks and it was beginning to feel like Florence had completely disappeared from my life. It’s almost like a person you don’t see for along time, you wonder if you’ll forget what he/she looks like and how you felt when you were with him/her. Did all those feelings just vanish? That’s how I feel about Florence. I can study photo of its many facets, but it isn’t until I am here that I truly grasp its beauty and energy. The sensation I get when I am here I have felt nowhere else.

For me, it’s a feeling of completion, of peace, and of love. It’s exactly how I feel when I am in my beau’s arms. It’s as if the entire world fades around me and all I sense is love pulsating in, around, and through me.

I am eager to take in my beloved city and fill up my heart with its love and joy. Not that my well is dry, but it just feels like the right place to pause, relax, and build up my forces. Life can sometimes throw us a few curve balls and we must be ready to deal with them. My beloved city gives me the strength, energy, and love to operate in this world. I am eager to soak up all that Florence presents me with.

I am back in my beloved city and back in love.
