Desire in the heart

—

Sofia describes what she thought when asked when she was about to undergo osteopathic treatment: “What do you want? I replied: Nothing, Paolo. I don’t want anything. I didn’t go into the conversation but inside I knew it: I was lying, perhaps even to myself. Yes. I had a tremendous need to return to desire something in my heart, because life without a true desire that guides us, whether it is a person, a goal to reach, a goal, or the same star is not life indeed, it is a disaster, and I had the need to get out of the latter and that stagnant limbo in which I had run into and in which I no longer recognized myself ”.
