My passion for soccer

Today I was stung by a bee in the garden, on the back of my leg. Despite spending a lot of time in nature, it is only the second time it happens. The first time I was stung by a bee was more than two decades ago, in my childhood.

On another note, I tried to express my passion for soccer and my vision of Peace in an open letter I sent to a digital newspaper in Florence, the town of the soccer club I support, called La Fiorentina, or la Viola, which means violet, the color of the shirts the players wear.  And the newspaper I wrote to decided to publish on their website my open letter, which means hundreds / thousands of persons read it, and a few persons even commented it, with very kind, encouraging and touching words https://www.violanews.com/news-viola/anche-in-libano-si-tifa-fiorentina-la-lettera-di-erik/

You will need to use a translating tool in order to read and understand my letter, and the comments below.

As I already expressed I firmly believe in peace, and the power of plants / learning to plant and to speak the language of plants in order to reach that inner and outer peace. But sports can also be helpful. You will understand better what I mean by reading the letter I wrote, on the above link.

I have several aims by doing so: it is a way to express myself, my pain, my sadness and my hopes; it is a way to relate with other people; it is a way to get known as a writer and novelist who will hopefully be published soon; and it is a way to show the entourage of the Faerie Princess my capacity to touch others with my words. The staff and readers of violanews, the newspaper that republished me, do not know me in person, and I live in a faraway country that is not very well-known. Yet, my words touched them, and they did not hesitate to immediately trust me.

And I will renew my daily prayer for Peace, here and worldwide.
