Sleep Dose

Mercoledì 20 maggio, Sleep Dose #167 (Casa Abbandonata).

Ad un certo punto della vita, guardando retrospettivamente, l’infanzia assume la forma di una casa abbandonata. Nel ricordo, non si riesce quasi più ad ascoltare la meraviglia di quello stato estatico, con le sue sorprese ed il tutto per la prima volta sperimentato. Siamo in molti ad aver abbandonato quelle case; non così per mia madre, che ne ricorda, con sguardo benevolo, quasi ogni singolo istante, ogni stanza, ogni angolo del soffitto, insieme a tutti gli odori, a patto che sia tra i più reconditi, mentre il presente, distrattamente, svaghisce nella sua eterna ripetizione al limite della noia.
Ma abbandonare la propria casa può anche significare lasciare la propria terra, migrare, diventare nomade, per non fare più ritorno, se non con il pensiero.

Wednesday 20 May, Sleep Dose #167 (Abandoned House).

At a certain point in life, when looking back, childhood takes on the appearance of an abandoned house. In our memories, we can hardly grasp the wonder of that state of rapture anymore, with its surprises and everything we experienced for the first time. Many of us have left those houses behind; not so for my mother, who recalls, with a fond gaze, almost every single moment, every room, every corner of the ceiling, along with all the smells, provided they are among the most hidden, whilst the present, distractedly, fades into its eternal repetition, verging on boredom.
But leaving one’s home can also mean leaving one’s homeland, migrating, becoming a nomad, never to return, except in thought.
