The usual consumption of the airline magazine, browsed casually in a moment of boredom waiting for the imminent landing, I unexpectedly reveals the sense of this journey, just begun this new adventure. A sentence written by an unidentified writer, and that says something like: "Those who travel without encountering the other, does not travel, you move"
This trip was the meeting: the other that is outside us, Our traveling companion, the one already known and recognized and the yet to be discovered, with its differences with its sharpness, with its features that we immediately make it familiar, hostile, or perhaps a friend.
The meeting with the other that is outside us and welcome us into a different reality from ours, which has a different color, a smile disarming, captivating eyes, sometimes distant friends more often, almost never disinterested.
And then meeting with our "other", the inner one, the part that comes out, it appears, in all its cruel, unexpected and unwelcome presence, that one bad, bad, bad, that we thought we had inside, we thought it belonged there and that instead, caused, it is apparent on the surface of our supposed good quality and reassuring.
A blow hot, I say, that this experience has put me in direct comparison with my deep contradictions, with my sense of helplessness in the face of demand simple, direct, immediate children, which is hundreds crowding around us in the village and that the nagging presence could in a few minutes to become intrusive, because legitimate annoying, because it directly to the heart, our heart and the heart of the problem, which is our having too much and they have nothing and be able to handle this contradiction and this injustice in our traditional way, rational and politically correct, that presence that stopped suddenly and returned to be rewarding to be annoying like a fly that we would like him to go alone and we would not be forced to drive, to drive badly, even to crush, not to hear more buzz.
Despite everything, however we managed to "stay there inside ", without exception, and this is a point in our favor, we have not subtracted, we have agreed to be even worse, I decided to draw from this experience the best of positivity, to make valuable luggage for our return, travelers who traveled really.
