A Brief Consideration on the ongoing geopolitics of the Oceans
Previously, the Atlantic Ocean was central to global political and economic interests. Now attention is shifting to the Pacific Ocean. And just as it is shifting there and neighboring nations are organizing themselves to be the new hegemonic actors on the world stage, the further transition to the Arctic Ocean is accelerating the processes of […]
10 of Swords: it’s forever over
Brutal failure, point of no return. Sudden. When Diego left me, I had within me the brutal awareness that there would be no one else after. Not that I loved him. Or that I had ever loved him. I was with him by convention. I was with him so as not to have to choose. […]
Repose
“There are moments when everything seems to stop… They are spaces of rest in which the soul is restored the heart listens to itself and the body, alert, prepares for new great enterprises…” “Ci sono attimi in cui tutto sembra fermarsi… Sono spazi di riposo in cui l’anima si ritempra il cuore si […]
The Empress Gorilla: a Mother’s Instinct
Stories of animals that take care of other animals’ babies have always intrigued me. And, of course, moved me. They are among my favorites when I scroll on YouTube. How can you not exclaim in amazement at seeing a female wolf dog taking care of a newborn kitten? Or a retriever dog that raises lion […]
Similar natures
An old lady once told me: There are spirits who feel they have something in common with us and try to help us. Maybe they are essences that are dedicated, I don’t know, to a particular task that they have chosen. And that for example take care of, I don’t know, the good of the […]

Multitasking wasn’t a great idea… True… But now I have taken on multiple commitments and I have to manage to complete them all. And they are all long, very long term. I have to be disciplined. Organize things in a rational and provident way. Only the serious attitude of the emperor can help me not […]

The herbs they were looking for could only be picked in the thick woods surrounding the village. That evening, however, the little girls had not noticed […]
The Writer’s Diary #2: describe from within
A week after the first page of the diary, I still haven’t done any descriptions. I wanted to identify the best ones in the history of literature and work on them. But now, however, it seems more appropriate to start from myself. To start from my subjective point of view. Which can also very well […]
Description exercise: the intricate mess of a woman’s closet
Nothing manages to perplex me more than my bathroom cabinet. The half-open door is like a window onto a very intricate wild wood. But am I really that messed up inside? And yet how many times have I tried to put away all the bandages, the cotton wool, the ointments, the essential oils, the toothpastes, […]
