Silence as a choice: a door through which to access a dimension of the soul where it is possible to listen to oneself and discover oneself and others, revelation of interiority, exercise of self-discipline … but also indifference, aloofness, rejection, psychological aggression, contempt. Silence as an imposition: punishment, oppression … fear.

JUNE 2023

Coming back home alone. Retracing a difficult path of life. Reactivate, at the same time as domestic consumptions, one’s daily lives. Returning to safety, in one’s cage, because, on the outside, the world scares and because, in addition to the most recent ones, do not resume bleeding the painful, ancient wounds, never completely healed. Giving oneselves back to people and things..

Major absences: love, respect, support … consistency. Years of life together, a marriage, a family, a house, a situation in which everything is considered due and so obvious that we do not even assume that another reality could exist…

The abandonment from the mother is a very painful detachment. It is difficult to fully understand and approach a child who suffers from this separation. The complicated relationship with him must be measured with patience and love…like clay, which must be molded to make it something wonderfully precious.

Mental distress and suffering are opposed to the denied, by the selfishness and existential problems of adults, youth in an unnatural and unfair reversal of roles.

“… because in the simplicity of the woman, protagonist of what I call a “little journey”, I found pearls of wisdom and sensitivity that I crystallized in my mind while she told me the story of her life which obviously continued well beyond…”.

Is it more important to act according to the impulse of the passions, or should we make rational choices always keeping in mind the consequences of our actions?
