Here we are. With the arrival of spring, the period of the year that we mostly dedicate to travel and holidays begins. Let us stretch out from the torpor of winterwe feel that familiar tingling in our fingers, which fly quickly over the PC keyboard in search of new destinations, low cost flights, exotic experiences, mule tours… in short, any possible occasion inspires us and allows us to flee more or less far awayclosing the door of the house behind us, ready to fill our eyes with new scenarios.
Nevertheless, this won’t be stressful either? Beautiful, yes, stimulating, but ultimately always a vaguely frenetic race towards something? To grab the best seats on the beach, to do all the things on the list we have prepared, eat in the right places, so as not to miss anything and actually risk losing everythinga selfies it’s a social posts after another.
And this is where the quote from Terzani that we chose at the beginning comes into play. A praise for slownessto truly feel the places we visit, savoring their colours, scents and flavours. Slowing down. Listening to what we have around us and, above all, ourselves. To find, during travel and holidays, our centerthat unique place all ours that the centrifuge of life always moves a little here and a little there – tossed about, forgotten – transforming us into tightrope walkers perpetually poised on the abyss of time which, inexorably, flows beneath us.
Let’s start again from this reflection as we organize the next trip. And from the pages of books who, often wonderfully, they tell of real or imagined journeys. They make us dream, stimulate dormant curiosities, prepare us for departure and show us the path to follow like a star with a sailor from times gone by.
Below you will find our very personal selection, which will lead you towards your next literary escape and, we hope, towards your next journey. With a little more listening ability.
