Chissà se un giorno butteremo le maschere che portiamo sul volto senza saperlo. Per questo è tanto difficile identificare gli uomini che incontriamo. Forse fra i tanti, fra i milioni c'è quello in cui viso e maschera coincidono e lui solo potrebbe dirci la parola che attendiamo da sempre. Ma è probabile che egli stesso non sappia il suo privilegio. Chi l'ha saputo, se uno ne fu mai, pagò il suo dono con balbuzie o peggio. Non valeva la pena di trovarlo. Il suo nome fu sempre impronunciabile per cause non solo di fonetica. La scienza ha ben altro da fare o da non fare. EUGENIO MONTALE, Quaderno di quattro anni (Milano, Mondadori 1977). Rivedendo questa foto scattata ad agosto scorso, ho riflettuto sui versi di Montale che ho letto ieri: i massi che si vedono sui lati del sentiero mi hanno fatto pensare alle maschere accantonate, gli uomini che camminano sul sentiero, i "privilegiati" che se ne sono liberati!

An evocative and numinous scenario with an unsettling title, born from your reflection on Montale's words: the masks we wear on our faces without knowing it , with the basic question: "Who knows if one day we will throw away the masks"...... a good question: at least let's avoid deluding ourselves that Mamma Television, the Good School or TikTok will think about finding some possible answer.

Wise reflection, Merak.dubhe! 8-)
Masks weigh like boulders, so I thought of those boulders as a fitting metaphor... Walking in nature is always a stimulus to reflection and to the inner journey that slowly transforms us... It opens so many doors! Thanks again for this highly appreciated comment... :-)
Regards, Flo... ;-)
