It’s not the sea

kayak rapids, sea, sea tide

If it’s not the sea, it’s her image,
her figure, upside down, in the sky.

If it’s not the sea, it’s her voice
thin, Across the vast world,
amplified by the wind.

If it’s not the sea, it’s her name
In a tongue without lips,
out of place,
no other word than this:
big

If it’s not the sea, it’s her idea
of fire, impenetrable, pure;
and i,
burning i drown in her.

Water-gathers

Tarkovsky, Tchaikovsky | "April" from "The Seasons", washington coast

Far from the air breathed by noisy people, the distance separates you from the surfaces, it does not cover any of them, you have finished walking the labyrinth, circulating in the architectures, tasting its lines of flight, colliding with its angles, sliding through the programmed virtual circuits of the past where others tell you, you drive, the leaves of the trees hollow out in pockets of wind, you forget the road, only let the water gathers you.

The earth,the wind fall and flow, the water gathers, the water rises, the water rises in silence, connects night to day, grows on the horizon, the water trembles the wind, suspends the round flights, wrinkles the clouds, water collects the remaining crashes of frosts and blazes, water disperses the wandering flowerless flowers, water collects the weary clouds and the sweat of the earth, water recomposes the lost colonies, the water loses memory and marries all forgetfulness, the rain falls, the water wriggles, dazzles as far as the eye can see, the water cracks, springs up in the caves, gleans the seeds, takes shelter in the fruits, water will not extinguish the fire, water will prefer the night.

Free command

Reading NICOLAS CHAMFORT

Free like the first hunter-gatherer returning to the forest. The wild space resembles you. You stem the tide looking forward to change. New patterns of actions, new commandements where life eats the origins and is eaten by it.

Dimension of a territory

autumn, Chickadees, feeding birds, Passerine, Tufted titmouse, Vireos

There is a sense of the real, and no one will doubt that it has its right to exist,

Interrupting our modern labor to grasp the essence of what is beyond everything,

In the contemplation of a mineral more beautiful than all our work,

In the perfume of a tree more learned than our books,

In an involuntary agreement that allows you to interact with a bird.

Orpheus Odyssey

You are eath and air and the curves of your figure are that of the water. And I am transformed into fire. If you are three of the tour elements… what is left of me is just one, and even this one is self -consuming.

Live as a lighthouse keeper

Giambattista Vico

I escape the certified real world as long as I live as a lighthouse keeper, as said Giambattista Vico :

“I persist, lonely and proud, on my adamantine island, far from the noise and confusion of the vulgar” .

Walt Whitman

Do not let the day end without having grown a bit, without being happy, without having risen your dreams. Do not let overcome by disappointment. Do not let anyone you remove the right to express yourself, which is almost a duty. Do not forsake the yearning to make your life something special.

Walt Whitman

Liminal existence

snow rackets

Exile in the mountains would make my blindness worse. The sun or the snow are too intense there. The horizon is unfolded with no straight lines to hold to.

The landscape is a miniature where man does not exist, definitely having nothing to say to the world.

Rorschach Test

Italy, Rorschach, window

Behind the window stretches the multitude of broken heroes, lovers have passed, the clock is frozen, only your shadow warms up, sticks to the light, the whispering of silence. Window, widen the walls, let the nomads in. No stop or turn back since the landscape behind has already changed.
