Rebirth: it is what we should all aspire to in every moment of difficulty. When we are faced with the difficulties of life someone dwells on a present and timeless, imagining that the here and now is forever. And necessarily despair. Someone else instead looks back over time and understands that any difficulty sooner or later has an end and we are all beneficiaries and victims of eternal change, both in good and bad things. And rebirth arrives. Just open your eyes and observe nature. Gloomy and gloomy, deadly and spooky in the winter months. Dry branches and the smell of death hover over the wood, no animals are seen. But just turn the page and let spring come and life returns to appear: buds, leaves, fragrant flowers. Summer promise.
For humans it is no different. We all experience sooner or later difficult times. They can also be long, hard, very painful. But sooner or later our spring arrives and we come back to bloom. It will be no different for this period. Closed at home with ourselves, limited to our limits, we feel heavy, sad, fatigued, sometimes depressed and hopeless. If we look at the present in captivity, the world collapses on us. But just look up and the horizon of the future unfolds before us. With its spring and its summer.
To be reborn you must first die. Sometimes we just want to live, to be in a perpetual summer, to be in the sun all year round. But the light takes on value for the eyes that have known darkness. That is why the universe has a perennial cycle, which always and forever promises us winter and summer, autumn and spring. “If it is night it will be day”, they say in my part of Romagna. Said analogues dot the boot. From the darkness of the deepest night we must not despair but remember the light that was there. And projecting oneself with joy on the dawn to come. Because everything is an eternal rebirth.
