When it comes to love, humans prefer exclusivity. Yet, ‘true love’ must be shared.
As we journey on mother earth, we begin our ascent to 'true love' from a selfish perspective to an altruistic projection.
In early life, I was the recipient of my mom's immense affection. "La prima cosa bella della mia vita,'' "The first beautiful thing in my life,' she told me once in confidence.
Later on, when seeing my younger sibling cuddling with her, I uttered in Sicilian dialect, "Vattinni babbu, jo accucciu a mamma!" "Go away, you fool, I cuddle with mom!"
If there was anyone whom I watched setting an example of how to love, it was my mom. Pushed away and growing up alone at the tender age of 8, she never gave up on love. Family, friends, neighbors, visitors, strangers, all were embraced by her immense capacity to open her heart. She did not expect anything in return.
The following poem is dedicated to all those who search for love and get pushed away.
Remembrances of Being Loved
In tender years
On the stool
Washing dishes
Alone
With tenuous soul
Comes the first beautiful thing
No more alone
With eyes full of joy
'Go away, fool
I cuddle
Mom’
Together smiling
With anxious heart
Without the stool
Washing the laundry
With trembling body
Without knowing
Throwing the soap
Love
Hurled
Love
Shunned
Looking
To curl up
More and more tightly
Pushed away
Without will
Scooching
Sought
Affection
Missed
Love
Blossomed
In Cerca di Essere Amato
Con gli anni teneri
Sul sgabello
Lavi i piatti
Sola
Con l’anima tenue
Arriva
La prima cosa bella
Non piu’ sola
Con gli occhi ricchi di gioia
‘Vattinni babbu
Jo accucciu
A mamma!’
Sorridi in compagnia
Col corpo tremante
Senza sapere
Scagli il sapone
Amore
Scaraventato
Amore
Scansato
Cerchi l’accuccio
Reciclato
Sempre piu’ stretto
Spinto dalle gambe
Senza voglia
Accuccio
Cercato
Affetto
Bocciato
Amore
Sbocciato
This romantic ideal is achieved by the unique textural finish of the light pink dial. Tiny, overlapping crosshatching lines have been etched across the dial's surface, reflecting the light link to achieve a shimmering finish. Of course, we also have the Zaratsu-polished indices and hands to factor into the link equation, which bounce light link off its surface with a glowing white sheen.
Now, this watch link is a polarizing one. Some people love it, some people...don't. If you want to get some more insight into exactly what this watch is, why it link sold for such a significant sum, and where it fits into link the context of Patek Philippe collection, check out my hands-on report from last week.

While it's no link Rochefoucauld and lacks a certain thinness and sculpted elegance that would make Dan Aykroyd speak with an obnoxiously stilted affect like in the movie Trading Places, the new collaboration between Zodiac and link Rowing Blazers is a new GMT world time watch that hits all those important cities listed in the movie on its blue bezel, all link in a 40mm by 13.6mm stainless steel case.
