30 1/2 YEARS: timing is not my strong suit!

30 1/2 YEARS: timing is not my strong suit!

A fundraiser for the special occasion "Compleanno" (06/10/2023)

Hello everyone(s)!

I decided to open this collection in celebration of my birthday (6 months after edition). Timing has never been my strong suit - it is a matter of public record. So I had no doubts when, through incomprehensible ways, these late celebrations gave the arm to a close encounter with Operation Dove, a nonviolent peace corps of the Pope John XXIII Community.


I will be able to tell you more as soon as I can get back to tramping the dust of the camp in Lebanon and preparing coffee mocs to carry from tent to tent, as happened last July.

But something - to seal this deal - I can already anticipate, with the words of a poem that seem to have been sewn onto those days.


"I want to carry around with me

Who often change place and country

That which lasts.

That is not object or habit.

Lasts in me the lame toil of those who organize impossible feats.

Lasts in me the naive discovery

and a little frightened

That we still inhabit the land of the possible.

They last in me the eyes that cry and then laugh

In the emotion of saying,

that engorgement that finds form.

(...)

Last in me the thanksgiving, the gratitude

For all that in the days

Spreads and hurts me.

Today, before a new departure."
