allowing the unease
persisting
unease harbours
a necessity
unveiling
without fear it sings
for you its song
listening
insisting melts
carried you are
by the sound
of breath
Although my life was fulfilled and happy, I felt myself pervaded by sadness, worry and irritation. This was happening not only because I could not suppress from my consciousness the near and far realities of suffering and destruction, of violence and exclusion.
The persistent unease was also due to the fact that I was experiencing the omnipresence and hostility to life of beliefs, logics and laws based on the principles of profit and austerity. I was experiencing their consequences and coercions even in my activity not lead by economical aims. This increasingly blocked my inspiration and creative energy, although the occupation had been giving me satisfaction and recognition, participation and efficacy, security and happiness.
I was left with no choice but to allow the unease and to question my success and happiness, to investigate the necessities manifested by the unease itself.
