Driving sideways

There are two aspects of life that are just the same for everybody, no matter what language we speak: the birth and the death.
We are born from inside a mother that has joined a father to create life.
We die when the heart stops beating, the lungs stops breathing, the brain stops sending electrical signs, and when God wants us to die.
To die is a bit hard as you can see, because we are dead only when this all four conditions happens.
When we are born we make an amazing trip from an hydrous world to a dry world.
When we die we make an even most amazing trip from a dry world to a &%%$##$$" (they still haven't invented a word to define that world after death because nobody did came back to tell us the story of the other world with details).
While we live, it's our own road, that's what makes us individuals. The paths we walk, the choices we make, the words we choose to be our own, the Love we share.
That's the trip that matters, that's the trip that makes all the difference.
I like to travel. I like to be inside a transportation whatever it may be: the car, the train, the boat, the airplane, the bike, the motocycle, the farmer tractor, the photography, the camera. My legs and my feet. I'm inside my legs and I order them to move. I'm inside my hands and I order them to touch everything. I'm inside my head and I order it to think and to work and to be creative and to take a rest. I'm inside my heart and I order it to love.
I do like to travel. I like colourful travelling, filled with movement and colour in a crazy swirl.
If I stop, the world does not stop to wait for me. If I stop, the life would only be a single frame and not a 24 frames per second movie.
Since I've began taking photos I've taken about 5000 film photos. well... 5000 frames in a 24frames/second rate that's something about 210 seconds of movie or 3,5min.
is not much, but is something:)
I just wish those few minutes are worth for a lifetime, because in the end, that's all a creator wish: that the few things people remember of him, show that he lived a life filled with powerful feelings.
Love actually is the only heritage we should leave. The love about everything that is all around.
Thanks for letting us know!
Thanks for voicing your concerns. Rest assured, we take it seriously. We'll look into it and take any appropriate action.
