Loredana

I met Loredana through her voice while she told me her story and before this through her tears and sad face. There is still another before… her smile, her passion for the children, her attempt to set herself free from the violence of her husband, her determination to do and succeed. I also met her through her tears for a justice which did not favor her … Continua a leggere Loredana

Uncertainty

I see growing a period of strong uncertainty and confusion, a period when also choosing among the simplest things could result harsh and dangerous. This is usually the feeling one feels when something new is going to be experienced -when you change house, work, activity, for example- however this is not the case. This feeling of uncertainty, which to tell the true is more than … Continua a leggere Uncertainty

Spiral of violence

There is an indiscriminate growth of violence everywhere against everyone. When you start reading a newspaper, wherever it comes from, you read about violence: physical, verbal, psychological… It seems that the one answer to dissatisfaction and discontent could be violence, or that it could fulfill the emptiness we feel in life. It seems that violence has become a sort of shelter from dismay and desperation … Continua a leggere Spiral of violence

Those who speak

When you speak you should know the reason why of your speaking and its aim. You shouldn’t only blah-blah because yours is the responsibility of what you are saying and to whom. Unfortunately, praxis is often distant from theory. This is the reason why the most who speak are not saying something meaningful but they are only opening their mouth and blowing out the marciscent … Continua a leggere Those who speak

Giustina: searching for the sky

I met Giustina through the dramatic chronicle of her assassination… however nothing the chronicle has told me about Giustina. Only her parents and relatives’ words who picked up her pain but also her joy of living, her courage, the strength of her smile despite everything, the tenacity in not believing herself lost and to look  for a meaning to her love, her dedication to her … Continua a leggere Giustina: searching for the sky

Too much ado about nothing

Shakespeare is always right! Too much ado about nothing seems to have become the motto we use to speak and chat about everything but without saying anything essential, unknowingly perhaps. There are so many rumors everywhere around us, so many events, so many quarrels, so many of everything, but nothing represents deeply who we are. We dive ourselves in the crowd of no-sensical words and … Continua a leggere Too much ado about nothing

Nostalgia and absence

As ghosts in the night, thoughts and nostalgias moves around. Someone or something which is missing and lacking you reveal your feelings, but they are not the same. Nostalgia move you back to something you had and you miss, probably the sweetness of a love or the teddy-bear you grasped in despair. The absence inspires something or someone whose void will never be fulfilled by the … Continua a leggere Nostalgia and absence
