Patience is never passive, nor it is the weakness of those who give up waiting for something because their delusion or the discontent is greater than the satisfaction they feel. Patience is a rule, the rule of a quiet but constant effort to give a sense and a meaning to each thought, feeling and action one is doing in order to pave a route to … Continua a leggere Patience Is Not Absence
Picture: Lago d’Averno, settembre 2019, by Loredana De Vita There is that freedom behind every wall that aspires to be conquered. Yes, we are not the only ones who desire freedom, but the freedom itself that wants to be chosen. If we were all able to look beyond that wall, we would know how to live a world in which the personal responsibility of … Continua a leggere Free Beyond the Wall
Il rammendo è, per me, arte antica e nobile. Indica la capacità non solo di preservare nel tempo, ma di rinnovare e rinforzare i punti deboli di un tessuto che sviluppa in sé la magia della memoria, di quello, cioè, che era prima che si trasforma in ciò che diventa e si definisce grazie alla sensibilità acuta e attenta del rammendatore. Il rammendo, quindi, non … Continua a leggere Riccardo Mazzeo: Esistenze Rammendate
Since centuries, the sea has always represented the opening to new horizons, to a new life made up of meetings, culture, conflicts to face and resolve; it has always been close to our imaginary with its perils, pirates, mysterious creatures, storms and sea tempests, waves and whales, shipwrecks and shipwrecked. Sea has always been the opportunity we did not know, the one whose desire for … Continua a leggere The Sea We Don’t Want To Sail
In honor of a child and his mother hugging each other at the bottom of the sea. «Mum, I cannot sleep». «Be quiet son, it’s time to rest». «Mum, when will we arrive?» «Soon, we’ll arrive soon» «Mum, there will be children to play with?» «Of course there will! They will play with you while you will teach them your songs and your dances» … Continua a leggere Mother and Son
The way we look at events as they did not belong to us is somewhat disappointing and even more frightful than the awareness of their occurring anyway. The first question we ask ourselves when something serious is happening is «Does this concern us?», unfortunately the second is «How can I manage to distance myself?». As a matter of fact, we are successfully able to take the distance, … Continua a leggere The Detachment We Look at the World
I don’t know you, but it is a long period since I have been begun to feel myself as crushed in these events which do not affect me directly, but that however do because I am a person, a common person, and I cannot pretend not to see what happens all around me. I have not the time to be informed deeply about an issue … Continua a leggere That Feeling of Being Crushed
No war sets you free, no fire makes you stronger and warmer, no clouds of smoke makes you more alive. No, these are the weapons of a war that like every war is not thought to set people free or made them stay better caring after their life. This is the war that like all the wars makes you prisoner of hate and condemned to … Continua a leggere No War Sets You Free
How can there be peace if peace don’t we build? Peace is not the absence of conflicts, but the habit to afford the conflicts to resolve them without anyone should die for this. Life is a precious gift. Too precious to be abandoned in the hands of these criminals who use people and their sufferings to increase their power. I listen to people who should govern the nations, … Continua a leggere Do We Really Long For Peace?
I wonder why people keep on hating and making of their existence a possible weapon for violence at any level. Do we really need hate? Are we really looking for the answers to our discontent in violence? Are we really producing deeper and deeper shapes of hate to find the measure of our living? We are. Certainly and incomprehensibly we are, but this attitude does … Continua a leggere We Are Not Born To Hate
