“Remember me when I am gone away
Gone far away into the silent land.”

I have searched for words to tell you Emanuele, and I found none, but
“THANK YOU”

Thank you because you taught me
How to talk to you with no words
How to listen to your wordless voice
How to communicate without the body

Thank you because you taught me
What freedom is
Setting me free from any further fear
And that, as sure
As we sleep after every day
We die after every life
To be born again and again
Until we know enough:

Perhaps you did.

From the dry caterpillar a butterfly
From the dried seed a plant
From the cracked egg a bird
From a dead body a life :

It is only another stage.

Because there is no life without a death
No growth without change
No happiness without grief.

Thank you
Because by living and dying
You helped me to grow.

Even stars die, yet we still see their light
The cloud you were
Has now become the sky.

You ARE for ever.

Mamma

“Nothing was born
Nothing will die
All things will change”
