When you want to set up a date, which place do you choose?

The question has several answers, for sure, depending on to whom it is addressed.

If we address a couple of boyfriend and girlfriend, they will choose the most romantic place. Perhaps a lake, on a fall afternoon, enabling them to observe, snared, the decline of the sun in its golden chariot, dying with the colors of a ruby.

Or perhaps they elect a field intensely flowery, a green road, a grove of heady odors.

The illustrations, often, show couples of lovers strolling on a boat in the light of the silvery moon, in the quiet night.

Boyfriends and girlfriends like to be alone, even if it is only to lay the head of one in the chest of the other and hear the pulsing heart of pace to smooth  the passion that surrounds them.

On their turn, the friends prefer places where they can be properly accommodated, all together.

A place that allows them to laugh, play, talk, even in a tone a little louder than usual. Everything to give expansion to the joy they feel in sharing, living.

Teens will choose the shopping malls, food courts, a sunny beach, the open sea.

For them, being with their partners is an excellent opportunity to make jokes, yell, get fit, show their skills.

Older people will choose quieter places, allowing them to cultivate the nostalgia of the good music of their youth time.

Maybe a dance hall, a bakery for tea and the exchange of experiences. A movie theater to watch a good movie.

Going to the theater. Enjoying a play that feeds their soul. Going to a concert. A place for a friendly and casual conversation.

A family will want a wider place, enabling shelter everyone: parents, grandparents, children, siblings. And boyfriends and girlfriends of their children, of course.

A place to speak of coziness, expansion at the same time.

A place where, after the meal, the grandparents can afford some rest, parents can drop kids to the games and they can enjoy the pleasure of a rest themselves.

As it turns out, we always prefer, to the meetings, pleasurable places, that speak of well-being, tranquility, joy.

In a very paradoxical way, when our loved ones leave for the afterlife, we choose the sadder place for the reunion: the cemetery.

There, where the remains are buried, is the place we set up the meeting. There we take flowers.

To their tomb, which is where, in a certain way, we consider they are.

If we love our affections, do not link them to the cemetery. Grant them freedom. That they can enjoy the ventures of the spiritual life.

We shall go to the cemetery, yes, for cleaning, conservation. Never for reunions. These, let us do it in the privacy of our heart, adorning it with our best vibrations.

Let us offer them the flowers of our affection and, if we wish, the ones from our garden.

We will be able to watch them in the rose bushes and offer them or, if we prefer, put them in a vase, in our living room.

Our loved ones, wherever they are, will feel the perfume in which they will be involved, while we embrace them, with all tenderness, as we always have, in the little secret place of our love.
