I spent hours contemplating the majesty of the oceans, I share the day with people coming from the far corners of the globe, I have been kidnapped by unique and endless landscapes, I found out that heaven is, in fact, submerged, I've visited beautiful cities, I've seen flowers and animals that looks like coming from another planet... At the end of each trip, I discover every time how my soul was empty, until it has been filled with all the beauty that I met, gathered, and taken with me.
Mauro Maltoni
The journey never ends. Only travelers end. And they can also keep on living in memory, in their pictures and notes. When the traveler sitting on the beach sand said: "There's nothing more to see," he knew that was not true.The end of a trip is only the beginning of another one. You have to see what is not seen, see again what we have already seen, going in spring to see what we had seen in Summer, we saw at night, with the sun where the first time it rained, see the green crops, the mature fruit, the stone which has changed places, the shadow was not there. We must retrace steps already given, to repeat, and to draw alongside new ways. We have to begin the journey. Always.
