From the Landon family home on the beach in Malibu, California

writing from the small cabin where the Landon family's elderly gardener lives. He's about 77 years old, though he looks much older. His appearance is reminiscent of the wisest elders of humanity...

..

Today, while I was in the apartment where I live in Barcelona, ​​Eugene suggested that we sing together: You Raise me up! 

"When I am down and, oh my soul so weary...

when troubles come and my heart burdenet be

Then, I am still and wait here in the silenci, until You come and sit awhile with me

You raise me up, so i can stand on mountains, You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas, I am strong, when I am on your shoulders...

You raise me up: to more than I can be, You raise me up: to more than I can be...

Eugene proposes a new beginning, to begin to create. To do so, he plans to move our relationship to a small cabin in his Malibu home, behind the main house, very close to the stables. The gardener lives there. Today he's an old man, but when Eugene lived there between 1982 and 1991, he was a man of about 36 who needed the help of a friend, and that's who Eugene was for him.

It's raining this afternoon. Mike invites me to go for a walk in Sequoia National Park.

I decided to adjust the wallpaper image that I took from the Internet about six years ago and it is from the Sequoia Park

It took me about two hours, but it turned out so pretty! 

Sequoia National Park is a national park of the United States in the southern Sierra Nevada east of Visalia, California. The park was established on September 25, 1890, and today protects 404,064 acres (631 sq mi; 163,519 ha; 1,635 km²) of forested mountainous terrain.
