L'amor proprio Berlin 27/4/09
L'amoro proprio
e' come il bequadro
annulla tutte le alterazioni
TODAY London 3/3/09
Today, i helped a blind young woman to seat next to me in the tube.
Immediately, I felt so much compassion for her, but also ashamed,
thinking at the past, when I used to complain for everything
without realizing how lucky I was.
Being able to have my eyes and see everyday
so many beautiful things around me and not appreciate it !
Not only for that , I also felt ashamed of having had legs
and rarely use to jump and run for the joy of just being alive and healthy.
Having had two hands and never hugged enough the people around me,
also made me wonder how much I lost in the past.
Today I forgive myself, and starting again as new,
I wish to myself to never miss an opportunity to enjoy
and appreciate my body and life in general, whenever possibile.
I have to say that what impressed me most, is that the blind woman,
as I stood up to help her reaching the door, instead of complaining
for her condition, she actually said : “ Angel, this is my favorite station” .
At that point after having wished her a lovely day,
I went back to my seat and despite my attempt to soffocate ,
I could not help starting to cry…….

SEARCHING London
2007,Original title "Ho cercato "
I'd searched in all
sorts of places, people, gorges.
I've met many awakened
souls on my path,
and in vain tried to
snatch from them
the secret of what was
keeping me alive,
all the while
wandering around for days and nights without a break.
I felt no hunger or
thirst; I didn't feel tired at all.
Only the burning
desire to know the truth was my driving force
A great and constant
energy supported me,
allowing me to reach
the end of my quest.
With great
astonishment, I discovered that
I hadn't moved an inch
from my starting point.
All I needed was to
listen to that gentle and discreet voice
which, from the very
first day of my life,
was incessantly
repeating:
"I am here inside
of you."

"Ho
cercato"
Londra 2007
Ho
cercato in ogni luogo, anfratto, persona
incontrato
molte anime risvegliate sul mio cammino
Invano
ho cercato di carpire loro il segreto di cio che mi teneva in
vita.
Mentre
vagavo per notti e giorni senza sosta
non
sentivo fame, sete, ne stanchezza.
Solo
l'ardente desiderio di conoscere la verita' mi sosteneva
Una
grande e costante energia mi sorreggeva.
Arrivato
alla fine del viaggio
con
grande stupore
mi
ritrovai all’inizio del cammino.
Non
mi ero mai mosso
nemmeno
di un centimetro.
Finalmente
ascoltai attentamente la voce
che,
amichevole e quasi impercettibile,
da
sempre continuava a ripetere senza sosta:
“Sono
qui, dentro di te”.

Cara
Amica
Napoli 2008 ( dedicata a mia madre Giovanna Spadera )
Cara
amica, non ti sto lasciando sola
sto
andando incontro alla mia solitudine.
Ognuno
dovrebbe farlo con coraggio e dignita’
Per
non gettare al vento questa opportunita' chiamata vita.
Non
posso colmare il tuo vuoto
anche
se il mio cuore vorrebbe
sarebbe
un segno di arroganza e immaturita' volerci solo provare.
Fatti
forza , e con coraggio vai fino in fondo.
Alla
fine scoprirai con stupore
l'essenza
di te stessa.
Nel
separarmi un pensiero solo mi consola
sapere
che nell’incontro con te stessa
avverra’
il miracolo
Renato D’Aiello
"Dear Friend" dedicated to my mother Giovanna Spadera
Dear
friend, I am not leaving you alone,
I
am going to meet my loneliness.
Each
of us should be eager
to
do it with courage and dignity,
to
avoid wasting such a great opportunity called Life.
I
am not able to fill your emptyness,
although
my hearth would love to.
I
am aware that only wanting to try,
it could be a sign of arrogance and
immaturity.
I
beg you to be strong and go to the end.
Finally
you will be strucked by the essence of the Self.
Separating
from you I am left with the consolation
that
in meeting yourself the miracle will happen.
