Dani Tringale Image - "At Dusk"
That evening nothing made sense, the wars, the stabbings, Jeff Bezos money, the existence of God, his ex who never loved him and the reason he stayed, winning a game at tennis, or loosing it, the love or the disgust he felt for himself, or the reason for waking up tomorrow, or not, the debate between natural and positive law, the meaning of acceptance, or of honesty, and of the shame he felt for asking for help and for being himself, or of the function of the mind or of writing a blog for some others he never met and probably never will: were they sharing the same feelings tonight, were they happy in their prison of fear, were they too wondering what is all about, where is the connection and how it was lost, was it real, or a delusion, what is real and/or what is an illusion, and did they really care?
That evening nothing made sense, not even turning on the light in his studio, the white light of his computer screen was enough to feel alive, or just surviving, just for another second, just enough to not think about the darkness, creeping in behind him, and about the soil opening under him, and about his bones, becoming fragile like his will, or desire to live.
That evening when nothing made sense, he sat and wrote because this is what he does, when nothing makes sense: he stamps some letters on a white page, so as they can reflect his existence, the presence of an identity behind the void, so they can resonate, like death bells, to this human experience of ours, and this shallow existence, so as to never forget the tragedies we impose on one another, we, the creatures of God.
