Get a Life!


[THE WHISPER]


I can still hear the whisper coming from deep within, a place that I have shut myself off from:

"Gerry . . . it's time go get a life!"

"Don't I have one?"

"Well, you're living but you're not truly alive."


In March 2020, I found myself sitting on the edge of a vineyard next to a thousand-year-old villa in Tuscany, gazing at a breathtaking scenery of olive groves and rolling hills when suddenly, my insightful inner voice spoke with the intensity of an awakened volcano.


The worldwide health crisis brought about a significant change for each and every one of us. It affected everyone without exception. Each person has their own unique experience to share. Personally, it served as a trigger, sparking a newfound aspiration for embracing a more beautiful way of living.


Following three months of experiencing peace, balance, and harmony in the Tuscan countryside, we embarked on our slow and challenging journey back home. Upon our return, we were greeted by a new sense of normalcy - one marked by uncertainty and skepticism. The mandatory two-week quarantine served as a turning point, offering us the chance to contemplate our lifestyle and, more significantly, the life we had been neglecting.


I was prepared to make a major change - to abandon our current lifestyle. We would sell our lovely, fashionable condo and move to the picturesque hills of Tuscany. I admired couples who had taken on this very challenge. I can still vividly remember the sensation of sitting on our terrace in June, looking out at a mundane courtyard filled with people wearing masks. My heart and soul yearned for a different scenery: the beauty of nature, the rolling hills. I envisioned the manuscript I had recently completed while in Tuscany: "The Life I Noticed" . . . a story that traces the journey of Lilly Fiels, a 49-year-old architect in Manhattan who has lost touch with her once-vibrant aspirations. Following a life-changing event, she embarks on a profound quest for self-discovery and decides to transform her entire existence.



[THE REFLECTION]

It made me reflect. I identified with the main character of my novel, Lilly.

Until then, my entire life had seemed like a close brush with death. I realized it was time to start living!


What you are seeking is seeking you.

The mantra that has guided my life holds a stronger meaning now. Throughout my memory, my soul has yearned for peace, balance, and harmony. Upon deep reflection, I understood that I needed to move past merely acknowledging these words: Peace. Balance. Harmony.


I am attracted to narratives about leading a simple life . . . individuals who recount experiences of achieving financial autonomy and personal liberty. Their decision to reduce their impact on the environment sparked a profound awakening within me.


While the days transitioned into night, my wise inner voice persisted in echoing with a strong sense of purpose:

Get a Life

We started to dream and pondered: What if? We imagined a simplified existence, one filled with greater significance. A life of beauty. A mindful life. A life where we prioritize baking bread and relishing the small joys.
