Biography
Sudoeste, finis terrae.
Here I have rediscovered the sea. Certainly something has opened in me, lost in
these open spaces. Perhaps because I am above it, perhaps because I am sheltered
from this wide sea which frightens. Perhaps I am enraptured by the lapping of
the sea which returns with an uneven rhythm. Or attracted by the beam of the
lighthouse which returns constantly. I like to stop, sit the rocks which plunge
down to the sea, let myself be windswept, gaze at the blurred horizon, aware
that nothing will change, nobody will arrive, nor will the mass of water be
disturbed even if it is ruffled and let the sun drop down or beyond the reddened
clouds and keep its light. I have experienced the icy water, the strong currents
which push you out to sea even if they are closed between mighty walls or lap
long beaches in wide or narrow crecks...
But why right here?
The rocks plunge decisively down elsewhere. Further north the wind blows more
insidiously, further east the expanse is more desolate. The land finishes on
every stretch further west along the coast. Perhaps it is for this reason:
because the wild forces which rule further north join with the warmth of the
south, the warmth of the people who are still as we were and can still try to
be. Humble and rich. Without exertion...
