We look ahead, a way to go, again, again. A beautiful landscape and suddenly other paths and other tiles come to mind. Memories increase with each step we take, we look at the ground, it seems familiar but it is not the same ground. Where I am?

Sometimes we miss other paths, other soils and other steps we took in the past in other different place.

Sometimes we not only miss specific people or places but also moments, sights, smells, sensations and walks.

Sometimes I miss little things, subtle sensations that come alive at a given moment. Like that path by the sea, smelling the salty air, walking against the wind, seeing different people coming and going, people you hadn't seen before and barely understood, and then you thought, what am I doing here?

I didn't know it at the time and I think I still don't know it, but that moment has passed, it only remains now in my memory or in my heart, or perhaps also in my feet taking other steps along paths that inspire me and evoke so many stuff...

And I remind myself again: "you came and went alone, under the sun, that sun so friendly always that you know well, it is the same, in the same blue sky, with the same brightness and the same vital intensity..."

This path seems not finish, in the future I may remember it just like those others I long for today, and so the memories and my nostalgia, for an instant, will shine again with each new step I take on another new path to discover, travel and enjoy, until I miss this one too again. This is life, a constant journey through different paths, some of them are forgotten and others go with us to any place.

It may be enough for now, it may be time to simply leave those roads behind. Stop longing for those past views and sensations there and enjoy the new and exciting roads we travel today, which are wonderful too. And think with enthusiasm about what we can find and feel later.

Have we reached the end of a road? Shall we start another?
