Il fuoco della ragione

 

Arde il fuoco.

Poca luce albeggia nei lontani lidi.

Nessun ramo imbrunito denuda il suo cuore.

Solo fredda cenere colora d’argento l’inutile ragione.

Forse verrà il tempo,

non il nostro tempo,

il tempo delle onde magiche

il tempo di altri sentieri,

altre mappe,

altre movenze.

Nel mentre,

mesto,

continuo a fissare quella lingua di fuoco.

Bagliori e intrecci di nuvole d'aria ravvivano il suo fervore.

Sbuffi di fumo allontanano l’imprudente spettatore.

Traballa l’illusione dello spegnimento.

Continua ad ardere mio fuoco.

Il tuo calore alimenta la vita,

addormenta l’ansia,

accende solitarie emozioni.

Ritrovo nel sogno il tuo splendore.

Un Angelo è salito in cielo

Fusti spinati  di rose intrecciano l’infinito dolore  di un vita spezzata.

Incauto destino ha tracciato rivoli di sangue tra le rosse venature dei petali.

Una gentile luce si riflette su lacrime adornate a perle di brina.

Protende il mio braccio  al cielo,

un fiore bianco lo illumina d’Amore.

Thousands of people have staged peaceful protests in India's capital, Delhi, following the death of a woman who was gang-raped in the city.

The 23-year old woman, who has not been identified, died early on Saturday at a hospital in Singapore, where she had been taken for specialist treatment.

Occhi, lo specchio dell'anima

Gli occhi sono finestre sull'anima.

Non sembra soltanto una rivelazione poetica!

Attraverso gli occhi potremo, in un prossimo futuro, capire quali sono le nostre convinzioni di fondo e quali ordini l'anima sta impartenedo al corpo.

Di seguito vi mostro un articolo della BBC.

 

"Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a scan that measures the thickness of the lining at the back of the eye - the retina.It takes a few minutes per eye and can be performed in a doctor's surgery.

In a trial involving 164 people with MS (Multiple Sclerosis), those with thinning of their retina had earlier and more active MS.

The team of researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine say larger trials with a long follow up are needed to judge how useful the test might be in everyday practice.

The latest study tracked the patients' disease progression over a two-year period."

Delhi rape victim 'fighting for life' in Singapore

A female student gang-raped on a bus in India's capital Delhi is "fighting for her life" at a Singapore hospital, doctors say.

The 23-year-old victim - who remains on life support - has suffered "significant brain injury".

The victim, who may require an organ transplant, has been admitted to Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital.

"The patient is currently struggling against the odds, and fighting for her life," Kelvin Loh, chief executive officer of Mount Elizabeth Hospital, said in a statement.

"Our medical team's investigations upon her arrival at the hospital yesterday showed that in addition to her prior cardiac arrest, she also had infection of her lungs and abdomen, as well as significant brain injury."

Dr Loh said that multi-disciplinary team of specialists has been "working tirelessly to treat her since her arrival, and is doing everything possible to stabilise her condition over the next few days".

India's Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said in a statement said the government had decided to send the victim overseas on the recommendation of her doctors.

"Despite the best efforts of our doctors, the victim continues to be critical and her fluctuating health remains a big cause of concern to all of us," he said.

The government has tried to halt rising public anger by announcing a series of measures intended to make Delhi safer for women.

These include more police night patrols, checks on bus drivers and their assistants, and the banning of buses with tinted windows or curtains.

The government has also said that it will post the photos, names and addresses of convicted rapists on official websites to shame them.

It has set up two committees - one looking into speeding up trials of cases involving sexual assaults on women, and the other to examine the lapses that might have led to the incident in Delhi.

But the protesters say the government's pledge to seek life sentences for the attackers is not enough - many are calling for the death penalty.

The victim and her friend had been to see a film when they boarded the bus in the Munirka area, intending to travel to Dwarka in south-west Delhi.

Police said she was raped for nearly an hour, and both she and her companion were beaten with iron bars and thrown out of the moving bus into a Delhi street.
