Memento vivi

CONCEPT OF: Memento vivi - Remember to live - Part of a triptych

Where it seems there is nothing but death, life sprouts forth.

We are made of hopes, of care, of small gestures; we rise with a breath and fall again at the first drop of rain.

When we can no longer make out the reality of things, let us pause and look closely. Beyond the apparent despair, beyond the final word, life may surprise us.

Ode to Mother Nature - a poem by Chiara Galliano

I leave all my pain with you,

I leave all my hope with you,

for you are my Teacher,

you are

the source of infinite inspiration,

great,

immense.

In you I SEE,

life.

Life in death,

light in darkness,

joy in pain,

hope in despair.

I leave all my weakness with you,

I leave all my fragility with you.

I now know hope.

I now know the importance of looking closely.

I now know the importance of taking nothing for granted,

of going to the root of things,

for that is where

the truth lies.
