Breath of Life 

Who are you?

Who hides behind a mask, who doesn't show his fear, his sadness,
Your joy, hopelessness, dismay and suffering?

Who are you? That at dawn he is reborn on a stone walk, crumbling his feet, his life, Taking all your suffering to the bottom of your heart? Who are you? Who has the strength of a giant within him, but a giant who has fallen without strength, Mistreated, but always with his head held high, silent and laughing only at his pain? Who are you? That hides in the shadows of the night... like a fog that arrives, arrives, arrives... Covering your entire body in your life of solitude? Who are you? Agile and small, thirsty for life, strength, courage, affection... To overcome barriers and walk on clean roads and paths that are not uncertain. Who are you? Take off forever that mask that covers your face. Conquer your fear, Your sadness, hopelessness, discouragement, overcome your thoughts... so I can be you. Who are you? Who doesn't speak, doesn't moan, doesn't scream and doesn't give up. Of trying to be every day... and forever happy. TRIBUTE TO WOMEN WHO SUFFER QUIET At home, 26.01.09 MARIA LUCIA DA COSTA
