Beschreibung

What place is this. A phrase we may have pronounced a long time ago and probably under the influence of curiosity. If instead it was a formula, a sort of access code to enter in mysterious places, alchemical paths and silences from which emerge words, notes, sketches for a different understanding… Where do the images and words that manifest themselves come from ? They would seem to come out of a source located somewhere, a source that flows from meditative states, from moments and places of abandonment and not attachment to matter; is like looking at the sea of the unconscious and in that state of balance becoming receptive through a different form of intuition. We are in a non-place where Universe, myself, rocks, seas, sounds, hands and so on, are a single entity and, as the various mystical traditions suggest, you can do nothing but contemplate. From here we stay in the everyday lives of this form that we call life. All that remains is to try in this very moment and looking around repeat: "What place is this"

What are we

What place is this

Who is observing

There are days

Confining in this body

So now

Dancer

Sunday afternoon

All is here

Ephemeral

Balance

Stop

Final score

Woven photons

Genesis of freedom

The cycle of One

The stream among the rocks

Time

Suddenly visible

Question

Snap-shot from the outside

The age of the merchant

The sublime composer

The word death

The choice

Up there and down here

Light as nothing

Meditation

In your eyes

Unmanifested

I do not want to hear about it

November

New forms

Overseas

Shadows of love

Now I am here

Words

Quiet of stars at the corner of the street

Open scene

I fall into

Extraordinary possibilities

I embrace you

Between expiration and inspiration

Everything is temporary

An invisible thread

One night I noticed

A voice

Atomic vacuum

WHAT PLACE

Relying on is the condition and not identifying

Premise

I have just put on a vinyl record and I am in my parents’ room, sitting at a round, wooden table with a pen and a paper in front of me…This is the image of my first approach to the writing.

I could remember the piece from the 33 rpm, but I surely bear in my mind that the mood was a combination of unease, rebellion, will to manifest, typical of a teenager of the early 80s.

Looking back now, with my current awareness, I could say that the past state of need was the first experience of exploration inside and outside of me; a research of words that soothed and, at the same time, transported to unexplored places.

Years later, I return to writing with a quiet spirit and the mood of a serene mystic.

Introduction

Writing a poem is an excellent exercise to synthesize a concept, an image, an emotion and through an action of refinement to reach a satisfying exposition.

But, where do the words that show up themselves come from? They would seem to arrive from a source placed who knows where.

My personal approach to this source is the result of meditative states, moments and places of abandonment and non-attachment to matter; it is like facing the sea of the unconscious and, in that state of balance, becoming receptive through a different form of intuition.

We are in a non-place where Universe, myself, rocks, seas, sounds, hands and so on, are a single entity and, in the face of this, as the various mystical traditions suggest, you can do nothing but contemplate.

From here, the poems are born… It is like being in the inner stillness of a dervish that, by whirling around itself, spreads the words of the Absolute.

Have a good trip.

at a certain point, the energy attracts you and you starts to vibrate…

ARCANE ENERGY

There is an energy

that thought

can only hypothesize

and where passions

dive

becoming ocean.

An arcane strength,

unmanifested,

shapeless;

like music

mysteriously come to the sense

making us vibrate with the Highest.

It is here

that things, colours, sounds,

are no longer the same

and it is here

that the Highest

vibrates in ourselves.
