Planets and Signs astrological dreams corridors of stars and souls trying to reach the inner Sun of God.
Who am I between all those rooms of shinning dust? Maybe a little child playing with sacred words maybe a little piece of colored fog flying out my inner Paradise.
Ecce Homo an astrological plan of shinning Stars inside some little secret places of our own.
skies are open the chevalier and his horse are walking and all the stars woke up. flying into a dance of flames brilliant his arc thouches all the clouds in Jupiter’s head and all those little angels of baroque pantings are smilling.
moments of peace and light some moments we will never forget. the vision of an angel inside a child’s eyes or the smell of a petal, a tulip or a rose. a smile floating, lips of the one we love. seconds or hours it doesnt really matter the time the secret is the pleasure we found.
