the love of what you do

Yes I have always had this feeling and thought that this is the most important thing in life. Love, just simple pure, uncontrollable love. In the passed days I have thought how important it is to be able to give this feeling to the people you care the most, to protect them, to make them happy, to give some of your happiness only so they can be what they want, where they want. In Bulgaria we say I love you so much, it almost feels that it is never enough to tell someone I love you only ones.And the other love, the love for what you do. Work that becomes part of you, almost part of every glimpse we give to the world. I am blessed with what I do and the fact that I tell myself every day how important this love is makes me never leave my camera.
Today I watched a documentary movie, a movie that showed the beauty of people that devote their lives to what they love the most. The documentary was for an extraordinary woman. 40 years of her life were spent translating movies live in the little booth at the back of the cinema.
Translating the movies of Federico Felini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Bernardo Bertoluchi, Sergio Leone and at all all of the major Italian directors who created masterpieces. She is 78, she has lived trough this movies in Italy but never been allowed by the regime to go there. On 78 a young Bulgarian director and his crew took her to Italy and filmed her.
All her moments of excitement and pure joy presented in connection with clips from the great Italian movies. It was overwhelming, a life lived only because there is cinema. Life lived trough the life's of the hero's in this movies until she became a character in a movie as well. The passion in her eyes looked the same, as probably it was the first time when she started, she looked so young, alive and full of energy.
Yes this is the magic coming from the love of life and what you do. This reminded me of a saying I saw years ago in the cetre of London: "We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars."
