O Vjosa-Narta Lagoon
May your salty waters be rich in fishes
once more
May heavenly birds sweep your air & your land be swarming in-infinite species.

O Vjosa-Narta Lagoon
Bless us again with your Saintly songs
Here's to redefining Abandonment!

My favourite nut!

(Of course except for chestnut)

The joy of picking from a tree & yet another Native Dukagjini prayer from Dada, hopefully I will get them all written down soon.

You can find fresh Hazelnuts and other Natural Products @ St Jozefs Farm shop in Shkoder.

The caged bird sings
With a fearful trill
Of things unknown
But longed for still
And his tune is heard
On the distant hill
For the caged bird
Sings of freedom.

Last weekend the Canal was opened in Grude, Shkoder, North Albania.

Some farmers, like my father still use this old style irrigation canal system. It is so soothing to watch, listen to and feel the water flowing during these sweltering ~ 40°C days.

Something metaphorical there too, don't you think?

Just as an irrigation system channels water to different areas in a field so too I imagine my Body & Mind soaked in Life Force when I keep at a Regular Nurturing Inwards Practice.

Whether it is Breathwork, Therapeutic Postures & Movement or simply a more Meditative Practice

'Real Change comes by
Little by little'

Thought I'd post an update of my book
🐣 `Kind & Strange: Tales of Hitch-hiking through COVID (mostly in Albania)´

If you are interested, it is available worldwide on Amazon: https://a.co/d/2beepY2

I can also send you personally an electronic version or a Book printed in a small printing shop!

Just DM me or send an email: poezizane@gmail.com

Or simply please share it along 🙏

Thank you for your support!

Truth be with you 💚

Psaltery Stories: Something about graveyards that I love, I am sure I am not the only one?
This one in particular inspired me.
Hope you enjoy 🫂

You can also listen/read it in Albanian too, I have posted them separately.

🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦

By far one of the most charming graveyards, yet.

Where we eat pizza, quite high; at peace and underlyingly
(like always) a tad glum.

This time owing partially to a constant rustling
in the wild bushes closeby
I say it is goats but you are expecting a boar,
'They can be quite violent'

So we wait and wait

Till hoxha starts singing
And the gallant birds chirp
ever so high;

You start complaining

I tell you

Be silent 🤫

Listen

To one of the most beautiful graveyards, yet.

🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦

Tregime Psalteri: Ka diçka qe me pelqen per varrezat, besoj se nuk jam i vetmi?
Kjo ne veçanti me frymezoi.
Shpresoj te pelqen 🫂

Mund ta degjoni/lexoni edhe ne anglisht, i kam postuar veçmas.

🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦

Nje prej vorret ma te bukur, dej tesh.

Aty ku hame pica, bodh ishim larte; ne paqe
dhe si gjithher ne thelb i merzitur

Kyt her pjeserisht per shkak
at rremujas e vazhdueshme ne ata ferrat afer,
un tham se jane dhi,
por ti pret nje derr t'eger,
"Ata mund te vrajn"

Pra presim dhe presim

Dej sa hoxha fillon me kenuar
Edhe zogjte tu ciceruar, gallate me ze te larte
Te larte
Te larte

Po ti nisesh te ankohesh
Te them hesht 🤫
Degjo

Nje prej vorret me te bukur, dej tesh.

My grandma, Kusha, speaks about her wedding day walking from Shale to Kir, 14 years old.

Keep on unearthing the unknown.

Thank you rainbow family for your acceptance 💚
