Live and Be

Come here

Without fear

There is nothing to

Prove to nobody

Don't impress

Just express

And never crave

For attention

Don't you see?

Live and be

For nothing else

Matter to me

Vera da Pozzo

Paris, 4th October 2026

I could not help writing something today: the incipit of this poem popped into my head when I woke up, as a ray of light in the haze of the cold I have caught; and, when the Inspiration calls, all I can do is to write.

Poem and short article above by me, as the picture below, taken this morning. I felt the presence of the White Dove on the window and I photographed her from the distance.

(C) Italy is Mine and It owes Me a Living
