The Last Light

29/05/2019

We live each of our days shrouded by a veil of shallowness, surrounded by slogans of different parties which hide the truth and steer away the critical thinking towards a more comfortable and /or easier direction.

Overwhelmed by more or less pleasant distractions which drive us astray, maybe, from what should be considered important.

Being fascinated by the creativity and instrumental skills of others, I think most of us have lost the capacity to observe the details.

Many do not know right from wrong anymore.

In this way, the subjectivity of the mind gets constantly drugged by tens, hundreds if not thousands of news and pictures with the only goal of manipulating the mind.

We are an army of pundits and know-it-alls with an altered way of thinking often stuck on basic notions or with little knowledge of subjects which would need and all life study.

And with this awareness of being part of this world that I walk away, away from distractions, away from people, looking around trying to catch every detail of the landscape surrounding me.

During one of the many walks, I saw a tree, naked, insignificant, in the middle of a field which light filled with only one colour.

I waited until the rotation of the earth gave a new face to the scene.

Just before sunset, light rised from the ground covering the ground of a dark cloak.

The Barren tree top, hit by the sun light, gained a new brightness setting itself apart from the rest of the world.

Only a few minutes of pure limelight and, deep again in the shadow, part of an insignificant landscape , from which, however it cannot depart.

It was a late summer day, the sky was clear and the temperature was pleasant.
