thedaydreamerdiary

When walking in the street, the one slowing down, looking up, and getting lost in every detail and parallel world, that person, well - it's me, the Daydreamer. When I look around, I look for light, for the sun to burn my face and for the whimsical cloud to capture my imagination and take me on a magic journey. Yes, from one idea to the other - more often than not inspired by books, movies and travels - my head is in the clouds to describe and enjoy reality from every possible or impossible angle and language... My head and heart are in books and words, starting with A Prayer for Owen Meany and The House of the Spirits (surprised?) and Le Rouge et le Noir. Speaking of languages: three of them that I dutifully studied in school and across a couple of countries - including France where I now reside - absorb and express my every thought: Italian - my mother tongue -, French - my other mother tongue - and English - the adopted one. In their company, harmony and chaos and that of their cultures I thrive and find true passion and comfort. Languages and words I wish to share in my virtual diary with you in a blend of facts, adventures, discoveries and daydreams, combined with photographs and sounds that will make a daydreamer of you... If you please. The blog is bilingual, but posts are untranslated simply because they respond to the call of the inspiration of the moment: if I read a book in English, chances are I will want to tell you all about it in the same language. I will take you for a lovely walk, have you slow down, look up and get lost into something new, something old, something small, something invisible... In my wildest daydreams, writing and curating a blog would be my next job. The quest is on in the real world. Wish me luck and positive alignment of the spheres.
