She, always

She always invites you to live her, to listen to her. To contemplate, to pause and then keep going where you’re headed.

The versatility of everything happening while nothing happens to her.

She is generous, she makes room to build, create, experiment. She is a confidante, keeps more secrets than the moon and is ready to welcome you with open arms no matter how you feel… because she is also unconditional: whatever happens, she’ll be there.

She is shelter in exposure when nothing reminds you of home and it seems no space in the world could hold you, those days when you go looking for calm because chaos clouds your mind and your soul.

She always offers you encounters, she never lets you down. Something always appears if you pay attention; her invitation to look with other eyes, from another angle, is a permanent premise, it’s part of her essence. She leaves a discovery within reach, of that thing you didn’t see before and that seems to have always been there.

Sometimes she’s threatening; not everyone likes her. You can fear her no matter the day, no matter the hour, whether it’s cold or hot; danger abounds in her, everything is a possibility, risk is imminent, but are you just going to miss out on her? Because there is a lot of life in her, and inhabiting her enriches you.

That’s why I sincerely hope you never run out of street, you never run out of reality.

“… I don’t even remember how long ago crying in the street became familiar. I couldn’t say when it started, but only today have I become aware of how little foreign it feels: too common to be unpleasant, too common to be glad about.”
