Apocalisse. Parte sesta. Con Reverendo don Curzio Nitoglia

REFLECTION BY EUMESWIL You arrive at the beach on a bright day, where a cool breeze gently blows. You're surprised to observe the landscape, which you know quite well from frequent visits over the years. You sit comfortably in the shade and observe what lies before you as if for the first time. It's like being in front of a book you've read many times, but whose contents have never seemed very clear until this moment. A different light filters through this landscape, penetrating but not numbing. What the eye observes enters the body. There seems to be a balsamic current that brings you to life. You feel serene, overflowing with an irrepressible and unstoppable joy. The predominant color in the landscape is blue, expressed through multiple hues and intensities. There is the blue of the sky that unites with the vast, deep sea, and the latter appears transparent. It reveals the infinite pebbles full of minerals on the shore. Some look like gold nuggets glistening in the sun. In the distance, on the horizon, two Mediterranean islands stand out clearly. Both are volcanic, and it is the volcano itself that appears very bright. We also know that a large active volcano is present in the sea, the largest in Europe. The two volcanoes appear gentle. They have no summit, but a crater at their summit. Their sides resemble mountains. You can walk on them. There are paths and roads... These two volcanoes emit lapilli from time to time. A thought flashes through your mind. It's not the same to end up in a crater as to stand on a mountain peak. It's tiring to attempt the ascent to both places, but the summit is very different, as is what you can see from nearby and breathe... the quality of the air that enters your lungs is very different. There is a small lagoon in this place, surrounded by eucalyptus trees, pines, a few weeping willows, and poplars. Standing in this clearing is intoxicating. From afar, at dusk, it seems like an unrecognizable and disturbing shadow. The light leads one to understand and explore the place, the darkness to fear it. Dusk arrives. The pure air surrounds the sun as it bids farewell to the day. You face its solar disk, you gaze at it, attracted and at the same time amazed, as if before a prodigy that makes you doubt yourself and your critical faculties. You feel "dizzy," almost in the grip of a visual hallucination, without having used any sensory perception opener. The sun suddenly vibrates like a heart, pulsating. It changes color, becoming almost fuchsia. Suddenly, the solar disk, in addition to moving rhythmically, vibrating, enters, as if rotating, into something similar to a cylinder, the terrestrial world, and then emerges again... It seems to take on multiple dimensions until suddenly it stops, stops, returning to its normal state of stillness and assuming its usual color. Near the sun, other small concentric circles appear, almost imperceptibly, subtly, and in the distance, a dense, almost white residue. One cannot explain what one has seen, and this causes a certain disquiet and shock, even as an even greater joy renews itself. One feels part of a living cosmos and of our own life. Yes, we are part of an ordered, conscious, coherent infinity. Each link is linked to another link… These sensations thrive on words. Knowledge of many appropriate terms is lacking, and therefore the ability to understand more complex realities. The lack of knowledge of the appropriate, suitable word leads to a consequent lack of description and the possibility of approaching invisible, but not necessarily absent, realities… The book of Revelation opens. The term apocalypse means: revelation.
