The Inner Father
The Inner Father
A few years ago, I became aware of this void and how I had filled it..
I began to clean it, to clean up that inner place.
Then I began to fill it again with something called the inner father:
images, faces, sounds, emotions, slowly, piece by piece, as one does with collages,
I began to reconstruct an image inside me that was of a father.
If today I know how to be a father, it is thanks to this image of the inner father.
People who, like me, have never had a present father, a void was created inside from an early age;
an ever-growing void into which everything and anything entered.
Discovering Yourself
Purpose? Understanding yourself, human nature, facing the future.
Feelings are part of us as matter is: anger, joy, pain, tenderness are emotions in our lives,
ignoring those emotions is not healthy.
Let's for instance take tenderness.. it's difficult to give it automatically when you haven't received it from your father... so what then?
So let's stop going automatically..
and let us start managing these spaces, Fullness and Emptiness, let's take control of our lives and
and create a different future.
The Sleeping Child
Inside us there is also an inner child. a little boy who sleeps at night and curls up on our knees.
We can decide to stop ignoring him
and start looking at him with the loving gaze of a father.
We can finally lay our adult hands on him, and give him what he has been waiting for so long: a caress.
A Future of Certainties
Rediscovering these feelings means rediscovering a sense of presence in the world,
our participation in that mysterious and fascinating thing that is life:
now " TO BE " is no longer a relative and temporary value, but becomes something stable,
something meaningful that, in the flow of eternity,
lies halfway between what came before us and what will come after.
