I love fairy tales very much, traditional and modern ones, because they reveal forgotten emotions about us, tastes never known, attitudes we were unaware of, choices to be pondered and on which to build what happens next.I really like this very much afterwards.Fables are never just words that narrate lived stories or, in any case, that happened in reality or in the imagination. Fables are … Continua a leggere Never Betray Tales

I think of that expression we use to say about tenderness towards a woman by insisting on the duty to treat her like a flower. Well, I feel that I would like to add a continuation to this beautiful, tender expression, but which risks the paroxysm of misunderstanding. I would add to treat her as a flower “not cut from its plant”. That image of … Continua a leggere Like a Flower

The arrogant have always existed, in some periods they raise their heads more, but they have always been present with their noisy jokes on the stage of the time. In fact, they need this, a stage on which to perform, having no other resources than the presumption and the apparent vigor to make people believe they have ideas and, above all, have power.Once the arrogant … Continua a leggere Don’t Fear Arrogance

In any case, the distance is felt. You can fill the space with explanations and meaning, but there is always that existential void that prompts us to ask ourselves “what would it be like if …”In that “if …” pronounced with difficulty, barely, there is all the melancholy of loneliness, the awareness of being able to do better, the humility of non-compliance and the courage … Continua a leggere Freedom Beyond

There is something that we have forgotten or that we deliberately forget in our relationship with others: authenticity. It is as if we preferred the pedestal on which we went up to dictate rules and rivers of laws that we believe to be right for others, forgetting, however, that they not only apply to us, but that their authenticity is proven precisely by the fact … Continua a leggere Wish for Authenticity

What is the time of perseverance? Every time is the time of perseverance. Without vain hostility, but with the sole desire to build a route to our lost and abandoned life.As T.S. Eliot said, we appear as “hollow men”, empty men, abandoned, hollowed out, wasted, desolated in a land equally empty in its fullness, abandoned in its presumption of false care, hollowed out and deprived … Continua a leggere When Perseverance Calls

The face marked by history does not erase the clarity of the gaze that knows how to look beyond. Man’s heart is not made of appearance, but of the incessant beating of the heart of him who loves. Il volto segnato dalla storia non cancella la limpidezza dello sguardo che sa guardare oltre. Non di apparenza è fatto il cuore dell’Uomo, ma dal battito incessante … Continua a leggere Faces

Awareness, the ability to be present to yourself and to others without deceit, without ulterior motives, without the desire to satisfy the shortcomings caused by personal limitations by unloading them as insufficiencies on the shoulders of others.Awareness, more and more, becomes a rare gift, the gem that, if cared for and loved, can flourish in an honest and responsible ethical sense, but which, if neglected, … Continua a leggere Awareness

There is a dream of beauty in my gaze, of that real beauty, not apparent, not weighed down by the trappings that turn us into what we are not. A beauty capable of concealing itself even in the most horrid creatures and of smiling through their renewed innocence. C’è un sogno di bellezza nel mio sguardo, di quella bellezza reale, non apparente, non appesantita dagli … Continua a leggere Just a Dream

Then I ask myself, without pretension or presumption to educate someone, but really the role of a writer in our society is to satisfy the tastes and give people what they like? I don’t know, but this seems to me more of a personal, if not economic, narcissistic gain. All writers would like to be read, even I certainly am not exempt from this desire. … Continua a leggere What’s your Role as a Writer
