Rome, Episode I

Saturday, November 11, 2006.

7h30: I am at Milan Airport. During the flight from Beirut, Ali, from Tyre, South Lebanon was sitting next to me. He is going to Venezuela to visit his children. Very smart and intuitive person. Talking about the July war in Lebanon, he says to me that human life used to have more value than nowadays. A funeral used to be a very serious and sad moment in the village. I helped him doing his transfer in Milan.

I arrive at my hotel; actually it’s a “school of mission” of the communaute de l’Emmanuel. A number of rooms are used as a hotel (http://www.domusaurelia.com/)

I meet Chiara at the reception, very kind and helping person. She was the person I contacted to make my reservation.

I apprehend this stay in Rome a little bit, will it be boring? ...I will live each moment in my “true being” (mon être veritable). I praise the Lord.
