I have had difficulties living in the present. For most of my life, the future dominated my thoughts. I preferred dreams over memories. The present was about how to move to the future. Now that is starting to reverse. While I think about the future, it is often one in which I am no longer present even though I might still have some impact on it.

Thankful, I have my piano. Playing piano is like a massage for my brain. But then often in the dark of the night, the past returns. Fortunately, it is mostly the beautiful moments that I recall having learned to let the painful ones go.

Then there are often the special moments I share with Deborah just walking through the small tourist free streets of the historical center of Lecce.

Our Palazzo renovation is where the past meets the future in the present. Designing a home that was initial built in 1731, to be our home in the future. It will be a place where tech meets limestone but also where there is a room dedicate to music to be played in the moment.
