My Mantra

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H44DYF7 

My mantra leads me far

out of the daily usual borders

of the surrounding physical space:

and it seems to me so different and deceptive

the ancestral conception of the world,

when the mind lays down

on shapeless spots of indistinct colored flashes

and now drowns on them, happily unconscious,

then pursues the swallows

along the sounding corridors they trace in the air,


lost in their twittering accents

which nothing explain to human intellect

but yet lighten up all its restless minds!

 

And while the world regains

Its usual forms,

a doubt re-emerges slowly to surface:

if it were better for us to discover

how we are connected to nature

before seeking

new, remote and distant worlds!

Somewhere, sometimes - II


SECOND SCENE

 The foresaid and Bithia. This scene is characterized by the singing of Bithia, with means of a solemn rituals in her movements altogether with the four vestals.

Song of  BITHIA

Our great fathers
Appearing  on my dreams
Fore say troubles
For the unpalatable people

And there is Gonario
Who is still regretting
His beloved wife
Left alone on the Earth

But now the moon
For the last time
Is going to obscure the sun
For its own reasons!

No weddings, no sons
Don’t try to obtain
Until when the stars
Will oppose to you


Our great fathers
Appearing  on my dreams
Fore say troubles
For the unpalatable people




(While Bithia, always in trance, will start to the exit of the scene, by the people come forth voices of protest)

Nakigia
         - Has anybody heard? The stars make opposition to any kind of weddings!!!

Damasu (parting  from the Group of noble and then showing his weapons will seek to harangue the people against Nakigia and Bithia’s prophecies)
         - Our King and our Majors are more important than the stars. Men of  Nure,   are we or are the women on charge here???

Elki (running close to Damasu)
         - The King’s son is right!  The Moon’s Gods are very far, behind the sea! In  Nure has come the time for the men to take on the command!

Anù
         - Long life for the king Itzocar and for the men of Nure!

(from the crowd  someone joins the cries of Anù. But Rumisu, with a cry of rage,   occupies the center of the stage, shutting everyone up ).

Rumisu
         - People of  Nure! Listen to me!!! If are the men on charge, and the king himself, then I’ll tell you that I’m the true king!!!!

Itzocar
         - You???

Rumisu
         - Certainly! Just me, the  Gonario’s son!!!

Damasu
         - And then, leave off the ground. This is a matter for men!


(Everybody will leave the center stage in two contenders! Rumisu will sing his song  and immediately after the two cousins will fight  together)

The stonefire's island


It's a 2.000 village inhabitants in the east of Sardinia; its name "Perdasdefogu", which reminds on its roots the ancient spanish conquerors who called it "Pierdas de fuego", means "Stones of fire".
And Sardinia it's a land of stones: the megalitic culture has left a great print all over Sardinia which praisies the rest of 30.000 nuraghes (7.000 of them still erected); giant's coffins, fairytale houses, and on therir ruines, after millennia of civilisation, you can easily find the rest of Phenician's and Roman's domination, with imponent cities on the strategic coast skyline and even a roman amphetheatre of the II century in the centre of Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia. And after the Romans, fierce enemies of unbendable ancient nuragic people, the decline, mostly in the second millennium A.D. with the Spanish and the italian Savoia.
Thera also the singing stones (but that's another story which deserves another post).
And there are the living stones: the Melises (see the link below for detailed newyork's report).
The Melises are stronger than stones: they have deserved a place in the world's guiness of record. The Melises are a family of nin siblings who sum up 825 years all together: the oldest being 105 year old; the youngest being 79 year old.
The american papers underlines the lackness of work making a great contrast with the capacity of living so long.
Also this is another story. I can only say that sardinian people are too much fatalist.
And  if they  will find the way to remember that their ancestors were so strong to be able to built such imponent and majestic buildings as the nuraghes, they are easily sorting out of all economic and financial  crisis. It would enough to value their culture and to organize the international tourism after that (not only after the three months sea season).
But that a hard way to be found.

The World’s Creation - First Part





At the beginning God created the sky
And the earth, wich was shapeless and desert
And the darkness cover’d the abysses close by;
But on the waters, with His divine, expert
Zeal, God established that the obscurity
Was opened to the bright alert!
And so came out the light.
It was named as day, and the dark as night.

Then beneath the waters, the firmament
Put God, and between them, below the dry land
He also put, where in a moment,
To any bud and tree He gave command
From seed to be produced for nourishment
Of any species, in ground, soil or sand!
After naming sky, earth and sea
To the following duty God had to begin.

Hereafter the lights in to the sky He set
Doing the moon and the sun for night and day,
And other signs and stars in dose correct,
To make years and seasons going away,
Because is much more than perfect
And furthermore of this I cannot say!
About this stanza therefore
I will not tell you anymore!

Fly off all the birds freely in the air
And splash about in to sea any fish;
Graze lambs, calves and livestock everywhere
In grassy lawns that will never languish;
Grow up reptiles fair and unfairs,
 living beings and monstrous and polish!
After the earth had all animals found
God ordered to them to multiply around.

Finally He sad: - “ Let’s make the man
To our image and similarity
to every animal to be on command!”
After doing that He sat quietly.
Since then, after six days, the next again
The man, in the seventh, stands restly,
Consecrating it for the rest and to the prayers,
Both the last hours and also the first!
