It is in love and through the practice of love that one can better comprehend the things of heaven, and that God can more easily enlighten our souls.
"Dovete avere una grande fiducia nei giovani: sono il futuro del mondo! Sono fatti per grandi ideali, e sanno seguirli con radicalità. ... E’ l’ideale di un mondo unito che li affascina. Sono i giovani, i ragazzi ed anche i bambini che trasmettono questo ideale ai loro coetanei". - Chiara Lubich
There's so much of the world I'd like to see. The idea of taking a break from my studies and going on some sort of soul searching sabatical was the best thing I could have ever done. Last year, I packed my bags and headed for Italy. I hung around Rome for a bit, avoided gypsies in Roma Termini and eventually ended up on the outskirts of Florence, living in una piccola casetta with several other foreign roomies. After several months of new discoveries, la vita continua and I'm back in New York finishing up my degree in sociology.
You'll find random foreign words within my blog every now and then. Everything from Italian, Portuguese, maybe French and Spanish...Don't worry, your computer isn't busted. I just forget how to say things in english sometimes.
