To revive the body and the soul

I wish to go for a walk in those high and arid mountain ranges, where one dies os thirst and cold for that “extratemporal” story, that absolute time and space where there is no man nor beast, nor vegetation, where one gets mad from loneliness, with language that is mere words, where everything is lose, disengaged, no involvement with the times. I wish a world of men and women, trees that do not speak (because there is too much talk in the world already!), of rivers that lead us to places, not rivers that are legends, but rivers that put us in contact with other men and women, architecture, religion, plants, animals – rivers that have boats and in which men would drown, but not drown in myth and legend and in books and dust of the past, but in time and space and in history. I wish rivers that make oceans as Shakespeare and Dante, river that do not dry up in the emptiness of the past. Oceans yes! Let new oceans erase the past, oceans to create new  geological forms, nem topographic views and strange continents, terrifying, oceans to destroy and preserve at the same time, oceans in which we can sail, leave for new discoveries, new horizons. Let us have more oceans, more seizures, more wars, more holocausts. Let us have a world of men and women with dynamos between their legs, a world of natural fury, passion, action, drama, dreams, madness, a world that produces ecstasy rather that dry farts. I believe now more than ever that you need to find a book even if it is of one big page: we need to look for fragments, splinters, toes’s nails, all that contains ore, all that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul.
