Indifferent loneliness, fragility and darkness, in the permeating of the light of time
Suddenly that living being appeared before me ....., permeated by the light of time, but in an indifferent darkness, regardless of what was happening around, in its solitude and fragility, in the enchantment of its suspended village in time.I'm not sure if he noticed me, maybe not, but maybe he did and proceeded indifferently, in his enchanted fragility. I felt a thrill in meeting that living being ..... A photo to try to tell a feeling, an experience ..... Sensation that then makes you think, a lot. I usually go to small villages in Abruzzo, a region of Italy, where time seems to have stopped, in search of traces of ancient life ..... Climbing their silent streets, to the sensitive guest, who is able to appreciate and know how to perceive, it is given the faculty to feel an ancient presence, which time struggles to erase, testimony both of a past life, which is history, but also of a different society, with other values and other rhythms. This ancient presence permeates everything: the old doors, the houses, the streets, the old churches, but above all the elderly, who, with their fragility and essence, have induced time to stop, remaining there, regardless of what happens around them.
