La pioggia cade lieve

La pioggia sussurra

The rain whispers

La pioggia sussurra alla finestra

The rain whispers at the window

Vivi nella bellezza

Live in beauty

I’m learning Italian. My mind is a dangerous place if it is not kept busy. It is immersed in serious business at the moment so to stop the worry that can slip in the side door at times – I have been learning Italian. What a beautiful language.

I’m not fluent obviously but I’m making my way through the levels of beginner in my app – this morning I thought if I can just describe the softly falling rain the poet in me will be satisfied.

Taking feeling and turning it to language and then transforming it into a different language and absorbing that feeling in a different way is like watching a caterpillar turn into a butterfly and then watching the butterfly float onto a flower and blend.

Duolingo – an app that keeps the mind dancing – highly recommend.

Belezza tutto il giorna a te

Beauty all day to you 💕
