Work in progress
New Year
New journey
New Jonny
Let's decide the commitment for the new year
Zero garbage
Say good buy to the global-consumistic-killer society
Build the good, not fight the bad ... back to the farming work
Let concept of time disappear
....Stuff like this, i still have to write down mine to burn in the new years fire
Keep you object low and real, so you can reach it.
Big desire are reachable with little steps
Wish
To Agata, a beautiful friend.
I felt over my wish of winter.
I found my self in bologna town, between family, a writing projects and a desire that in a way take a split.Hit the road again and start to create the new reality I believe in. community, respect for the land, a life that become the game to play, a work that become the way to create beauty and art. But I know that this 2 desire can be the same thinks. It is just a useless thinking at the end. The most important thing is to let the life flow over your wishes, over the vision about what you want to be.
Do you have clear your vision, your vision my beautiful Agata? Because when you have it clear every things start to move and cooperate for you to succeed. I know that I have to slow down to have my vision clear. I know that is very simple too. A place that is good for me, water flowing, mountains, lots of green. A community of good people, not too many. A simple work cooperating for the basic need. Art and sport as way of trade, money. But for now I know that I still have to walk a bit, because simply I feel the desire to travel trough
The solution is in the question.
At the moment I’m just trying to live slow, and is not easy for me and for this environment, Italy, to enjoy the family and to work on my book project, the story of one of my journey. That one that you take part in.
I feel ok, I know that I’m not at the best of my health and I know that I have a lack of energy on keep up of what I know is good for me, falling a bit in a past life. But all this is part of the path so surrender and play the game is always the solution. The important is always to act under the push of the heart. Never fell in the numbness of the sense.
I desire soon to take a course of meditation, 10 days of silence, and to head toward the deep white winter in the alps or to the north. Will see when the time will be ready. Completely useless to think about now.
How are you Agata? I’m really asking this to you?
I still think about you as a powerful girl, rich of beauty in your spirit and in your beautiful body. And I think that maybe you still fell there is something to change. Something not quite.
The pureness of all of us aspire at the same things. Friendship, sharing, creation, happiness.
We can find that only in the simple life.
How is life in the
Tell me about you journey, where are you, and not in a physical way?
I send you a big hug of friendship.
AUGH!

PENSIERO MALATO. pensiero puro di UNA società MALATA
NON VOGLIO USCIRE PERCHE' NE HO VOGLIA
NO DAVVERO
HO OCCHI STANCHI, TRISTI
VUOI LA VERITA'?
IO LA SO! SONO DROGATO! MI STANNO FACENDO IL LAVAGGIO DEL CERVELLO DI NUOVO. E' OVUNQUE
HO BISOGNO DI CONSUMARE!
VOGLIO USCIRE PERCHE' HO BISOGNO DI CONSUMARE. HO BISOGNO DI BERE, DI VEDERE E DI FARMI VEDERE IN GIRO.
HO BISOGNO DI FIGA, ECCO.
VOGLIO USCIRE PER AVERE UNA FIGA
MERDA! E' ORRIBILE!
sigh è folle, ovunque, pressante e la verità. possessione carnale. schiavitù. schiavi del consumo.

one day, one years ago
was grey and the light was trembling. Soon the rain was going to start feeding the land.
i was not showing my thumb anymore to an empty street. no cars where passing trough.
i was hoping to find a damn ride to south, to the idea that i builded up in my mind related to my new homeplace, for a bit, wanaka.
i had just few NZ dollars in my pcket, and those, those had to be enough to get me to my next job.
40 dollars, 20 euro.
yeah right i had an escape trough my family credit card. but no. i had to do it on my own!
the day after was going to be my day.
28 years ago i was born
and i wasn't to happy to be the day before in a foreigner land standing on the side of the street.
only my everlasting friend, the road.
but was my choice to be happy that day and the same day.
i was going to be happy.
just few days before i met a beautiful woman: yasmine. i was keeping that lady in my heart.
...
i'm sitting on a chair waiting a phone call. it's still to warm right now, seem's that people don't want to spend money in a week on the snow.
i sell holiday on the snow.
bologna.
most day i fell foreigner like almost never i felt around the world
it's hard to find air to breath while i ride my bike trough the traffic.
too many seriuos people around.
too many talking about problems and not enough caring about what's important
our land
our animals
our self
i'm surrounded by people and i have my van to sleep in tonight.
but i kind of fell weird
but i can be happy
right now and tomorrow tomorrow will be the day for me to celebrate me.
the end of my 29 years in this planet
thanks mother earth
yes i'll be happy
today and tomorrow
i'm lucky
.....
a drop from the sky felt
a car stopped
was going south
.....
i sleep in the side of a street in a van
this society doesn't like me
but i steep in, inside my word, inside me.
no one can touch my richness
because is just me
jonny must surrend

italy is crazy
but i keep quiete

1 years ago i was getting ready to live the fiji island
2 years ago i was working in the canadian's mountain
this year i'm here
where my life begun
and there is so much past to deal with
and i wait for the snow
and i dream about turing the world by bicycle
about working in a comunity in japan
about knowing the snow in alaska
and about going deep in my soul in tibet
but now i'm here
so i'm going to enjoy this night
good night my de3rest friend

leave at your own chosen speed......
so is finally happened
this chapter is over
in the same time i walked away after the last hug with the wonderful victoria i felt the invisible line that started to draw again is mark on the map of my life
time is Thailand is over
the old continent will appear in the next sunrise
i had few idea to how to finish my journey
but patchamama had different idea
i surrender to those and of course was so damn awesome. patchamama always knows was best for me. (patchamama is how the people of the andes calls mother earth).
i found myself surrounded by amazing beautiful friends from all over the world, i bump in an old companero met 2 years before in canada at a super busy market and i had a super beautiful romance to finish this chapter. i found as well the time to plant few trees with richard michelle and the wonderful team of panya integrallearning team.
but now the words start to be just few
only the deepened part of my eyes want to communicate with these last hours in asia; only the air will get my last greeting to this side of the world. deep inside the cavity of my lungs and trough my heart back in the world to say:
BLOODY HELL PEOPLE YOU ARE SO DAMN GREAT. I LOVE YOU . THERE IS SO MUCH BEAUTY IN ALL OF YOU. SO MUCH POWER. YOU ARE PERFECT. LET'S ROCK WITH THIS LAND OF US .THIS JOURNEY IS AMAZING. WE LAUGH, WE CRY, WE DANCE, WE FLY, WE FELL, WE LOVE.
I LOVE .
we can do whatever we want. don't listen to say the contrary
you are beautiful
you are perfect
you have the power to change right now
build up some positive karma and patchamama will give back
(lately she made me have new climbing gear and the beauty of the smile of too many friends)
you have the power to live the dream that i just call life
life is the dream. i don't need to spend my time dreaming cause the dreaming is happening in this same moment
i was a tough journey some times
but is part of the everything
more than 2 years passed without time to go hide in the comfort of some well known place or old friend.
just out there taking all life brought me
i didn't matter if i wanted or not
and now i cannot stop to say I'm grate full I'm
how much love i have in me that i want to share
sounds to hippie?
i don't care
I'm having a blast
tomorrow the word is Budapest
last leg of the journey
blow up my mind in 5 day of mush pit at the sziget festival with my "way too cool sister" sara
and after elia will be again jonny
jonny Bodhisattva by bicycle
(..........?)
on a journey to italy over the alps
with few focus in his head
permaculture
art
sport
but over all spread one concept
you are fucking awesome
take out your wish and keep it in front of you
and let's walk together
friends from all over the world
i love you
so fucking much
(now some happy tears)
thanks you
you are making my life.....
a life
L I F E
do you know what i mean
(more tears)

i'm so grateful
so much

the visa run
si aggira nella stazione dei bus di hat jay nel sud della thailandia
non ha ben capiuto come ha scazzato cosi bene il programma
fatto sta che e bloccatto li fino all'indomani per prendere il prossimo minibus per la malaysia dove deve recarsi per noiose storie vi permessi di soggiorno
damn it
ogni passo viene assalito da qualche thai
stanza biglietto taxi cibo biglietto taxi stanza cheap cheap
biglietto
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"ok dammi la cazzo di stanza e ti compro il cazzo di biglietto"
sbotta jonny affamato e assetato
lo scortano in una scala buia e stracolma di vestiti abbandonati
ed ecco la ,un bellissimo buco nero super caro per la situazione
"ma l'imortacci tua"
ma va bene cosi.puoi prendere cio che viene e imparare o arrabbiarti con te
respira jonny respira
al 125 respiro jonny e piu calmo
ormai lontano il paradiso di tonsay dove jonny arrampicava magnifiche parete rocciose tutti i giorni.
decisamente questa non e' la nuova zelanda e ci sono un bel po di persone e citta piene
"no amico le citta non sono piu per me. e non mi frega se sono in thailandia o malaysia o timbuktu, perche di posti ne ho gia visti tanti e so che cio che conta sono le vere connessioni e non le stramille persone o similsensate avventure che posso incontrare e qua le connessioni scarseggiano, singhiozzano quasi. e la luna sembra troppo piccola e inutile, e il sole e' quasi marginale e di troppo.
no amico io qua ci passo perche devo ma riconosco i miei posti"
arrivo finalmente in malaysdi a dopo 15 ore di pulmane barchette varie tra un mischione di culture spettacolari
indiani cinesi mussulamani cristiani e 4 turisti tra cui jonny che non si sa come da viaggiatore esperto e diventato il boccalone preferito
"limortacci"
imbarcatevi anche voi sulla corsa per "the visa run"
obbiettivo correre in malaysia strappare i 2 mesi permesso di soggiorno per la thailandia e ritorno nel minor tempo possibile spendendo il meno possibile
tutto questo per ritornare a scalare le amiche roccie
va bene le culture
va bene il folklore
va bene i viaggi
m senza i fratelli, il sole ,la luna, vere connessioni e una missione e un bel bordello da sostenere
ma jonny stranamente sa dove va e sta tranquillo lungo questa deviazione di percorso
hasta pronto

8:18 minuti in bangkok airport
non so che pensare ne dire
son tornato al nord dell'equatore, e mi sento piu a casa, ma forse e' solo suggestione
i tastini del computer son tutti pieni di simboli,
fuori di qua e' veramente un mondo nuovo
esco immediatamente dal circuito turistico cercando di raggiungere casa di una amica, ma il bello che mica puoi scrivere l'indirizzo con le lettere nostre, lo devi tradurre in thai
vedremo
ma la gente e' simpatica
arrivo a cuore aperto per amare questa terra e questa gente, sorridere e scambiare il piu possibile. come sempre cerchero di ascoltare il flusso e andare dove mi portera'
vedremo
e nel mentre metto un po di buone parole per tutti gli amici e la famiglia che si muove nella vita, cercando tra spintoni e ruzzoloni nel buio un po soffocante delle city la direzione spiralante del tempo
vi mando speranza
di avere il tempo per amare, respirare mangiare dormire ascoltare e guardare
di liberare la mente dai doveri per riempirla coi desideri
di trovare quel momento per regalare un sorriso e un attenzione gentile a qualch'uno mai visto o alla solita madre terra
di svegliarsi con calma guardando il sole come prima cosa per vedere quella luce meravigliosa che nonostante tutto e' sempre li
e con la sicurezza che comunque andra' le erbacce e i fiori rispuntano sempre
che poi non son d'accordo con le liste delle cose da fare nella vita, perche' la vita e' l'unica cosa da fare
quindi non importa cosa e come
infondo
death or glory just another story

niMbin
paradiso in movimento
mille posti dove vorrei vivere e creare
ehi amico
fermati e butta su anche tu una baracca che provochi perfino piu gioia
ma finche' la strad ti muove nel cammino
non temere amico pellegrino
non hai bisogno di possedere o essere posseduto da una terra
ora sei qui amico
sei gia' parte di questo folle paradiso
sei gia' parte di nimbin
li ci sono mille bellissime fate
mille fratelli scalzi che danzano e suonano
metti gioia nell'aria
pure tu sei tutto questo
e domani un'altro pazzo paradiso ti accogliera' e ti dira
tu sei me, io sono te
in'la'kech
