Covid 19 – Un oltre possibile.

Covid 19 – A possible beyond.

“If I were to desire anything, it would not be wealth or power, but the passion of possibility; I desire only an eye that, eternally young, burns eternally with the need to see possibility.”

From one week to the next we found ourselves locked in our homes again due to Covid 19: suddenly alone, without the warmth of hugs, without a smile, a voice and forced to see each other only through a screen; this is inevitably leading us to lock ourselves in our minds, finding ourselves dependent on our thoughts and worries, estranged from reality and promptly sullen.

But how to deal with this new closure due to Covid 19?

To do this, we are all called to become a little poets, it seems crazy, right? But it is anything but that. The poet, in fact, before being seen as someone who writes, is a person who knows how to penetrate inside reality and who welcomes things as they offer themselves; he is therefore capable of having an attentive gaze, which does not stop at the obviousness of the facts but makes them the object of continuous amazement.

Here then is the solution: training ourselves to have an open view of the possibilities that each situation brings with it.

But how to do it? Simply by trying to live paying attention to details, to the becoming of things, to the “moments of negligible happiness”, to the small daily attentions, to a sunset, a look, to the small gestures that for years have been neglected by our frenzy of “everything and now”.

Could this also be a reason to discover something new in ourselves?

And so we want to leave you with a goal for this lockdown : experiment with a new way of approaching reality, to "live and not just get by!"
