Almost all of us as children dream of becoming rich when we grow up and of living in a boundless  abundance of money and possibilities. Almost all of us dream it, but very few  try to make the dream come true. It’s just that when we become adults, dreams turn into projects. And projects, as we know, lose all the charm of dreams. The child dreams with his eyes open. The adult manifests  blindfolded. He no longer sees anything, he’s lost sight of the dream. He has forgotten the emotion of it. The call of Adventure. And therefore happens that the child turns into a greedy adult financier whose hunger for wealth knows no end.

Questo è un esercizio di scrittura  libera ispirato a 5 parole chiave dei tarocchi 
Abbondanza – Asso di Coppe
Bendato – 2 di Spade
Bambini- Paggio di Coppe
Finanziere – Re di Denari
Avido – 4 di Denari

 

Quasi tutti da bambini sogniamo di diventare ricchi da grandi e di vivere in una sconfinata abbondanza di denaro e possibilità. Quasi tutti lo sogniamo, ma sono pochissimi quelli che provano a realizzare il sogno. E’ che quando diventiamo adulti, i sogni si trasformano in progetti. E i progetti, come si sa, perdono tutto il fascino del sogno. Il bambino sogna ad occhi aperti. L’adulto manifesta con gli occhi bendati. Non vede più nulla, non vede il sogno. Ne ha dimenticato l’emozione. Il richiamo dell’Avventura. E può capitare a volte che il bambino si trasformi in un avido finanziere la cui fame di ricchezza non conosce fondo.

Hi I am Francesca, an Italian who since 2013 has been living as a volunteer in that fantastic, complex and exciting experiment called Auroville, an international community located in Tamilnadu, in southern India. I opened this blog, to which the vlog of the same name is linked, because the time has come for me to delve into the art of writing. My dream is to be able to publish those short stories that I have been cultivating inside me for many years but have never yet dared to put on paper. Now I’m ready to give myself this chance and I’m definitely setting out on this new adventure. Would you like to take this journey with me?
