The more I try to run away from myself, the more trapped in myself I become

the day I have the courage to reveal myself will be the day of the simplest writing the words will bring light to the leaf that appears in the window carried by the wind, without anyone knowing where it came from or noticing where it is going I'll talk about seeing a child with a book in her hand inventing words that bring more life to the images that speak so much to her the day I reveal myself it will be a day of silence and a day of sounds of the wind ruffling the hair of children, women, trees -of men too sounds of birds flying sounds of a Sunday by the lake sounds of a car passing slowly and after a while another and another, always leaving some time between them sounds of the arrival of loved ones sounds of the beginnings and ends

There is a slightly open door in front of me There is a light slit where traces of my own shadow pass I try to see what is on the other side, how is the other side, who is on the other side, but the shadows are all I see When I look at them long enough, I come across the door I look at its colors, I feel its texture I hear and feel the wind coming through the opening I shiver and feel the contour of my body I notice the surface where I rest my feet I touch the doorknob as if it were the only possible movement in this encounter in composition with the traces - I see myself as a whole person I feel. I'm where I've always been, here and now I can see the other side, where I am now.

I seek recognition when I don't recognize what it is, the powerful pulsating life, the empty space that surrounds and differentiates each thing, the singularities in composition. I seek recognition when I do not recognize the non-negotiable and inseparable principles of life such as love, freedom, creation. I seek recognition when I don't recognize my body in constant differentiation and integrated into life. I seek recognition when I do not accept the simplicity of the state of rest and surrender by recognizing what has always been available.
