footing during a trivial at Parc Royal, watching the darkening pink sky behind the palais des beaux arts, I had an epiphany: I'm in love with Brussels.
petty philosophy says that we realize the value of things once you are lost. I have not lost yet this city and yet I already feel the nostalgia and no, listen and André De apsetterò tomorrow for nostalgia.
What I love about this city? I love it so much the contradictions that make me angry or I love the people that have crossed my path?
I could not answer, and I love her enough. And a little 'love this, no? To love without knowing why and suffer.
After a week's holiday in France I returned to my work with the fear of not finding someone. Someone's gone, someone has arrived. I still do not get used to the routine of the center made of welcome and goodbye. I still shed tears for every good-bye to me in spite of social workers I have to repeat from one year to make me the bones, or mad to distance between these walls.
Maybe I'm really mad because I see things I never thought to see elsewhere: a Somali mother who takes a small Chechen arms and cuddle as his own son, Kosovar Albanians Serbs and Roma who play billiards together, Cameroon which the Albanians call "brother" ... I wish the world would go crazy and see what I see on the street, the supermarket, school and public squares. Too bad that this madness will develop only in the cage of despair.
