Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith, "Because the Night " .
And I am empty even of my terror. I did not make sense. I know a death that perhaps no other woman's son will never know.
Gabriele D'Annunzio, "Night."
We are all waiting for a magic night, the most important night of the year, the night they celebrated the ancient Celtic festival of the winter solstice, when the light finally back on our faces and in our hearts, the days are getting longer and nature slowly back to that life which then explode in the spring. The rebirth of the life of nature in the Western Christian tradition has become the Birth of the One who will save us. Tonight we all gathered in the warmth of our affections to drive the winter, deprivation, darkness, and it is the night the moment of greatest emotional heat, the moment of "we."
For many, the night, not even "this" Night, may have this sense are the nights lived in the margins and the "toxicity" of taking substances, which makes every day and every night the same as another, yet full of despair and chemical anesthesia.
I spent years overseeing the work in the middle of the night ready acceptance of the cooperative Magliana 80, in the heart of the homonymous and well-known district of Rome ... here I have collections of stories that I can share with you ... in ready acceptance of these nightclubs, where they offer a first content and a momentary pause from the road, the nights were precisely the ones most important holiday.
the night in Greek mythology was the daughter of Chaos and mother both HIPNOS sleep that Thanatos death.
The natural combination of sleep and death makes sometimes so difficult to indulge in rest and rehabilitation. Sleep through the night allows us to regress, to return to the embrace warm and enveloping are from, the womb and during the night we go back within ourselves, through our dreams.
" Night is the symbol of the time of gestation, the germination of the conspiracy that shine in the events of life." (Chevalier, Gheerbrant, "Dictionary of Symbols", Rizzoli, 1986).. The night then is the site of regression, in which the conscious ego can finally give up control and navigate through endless meanings, and drawing energy from enjoying the sense of containment that the night offers sensory memory and legacy of holding breast, arms and breast that contained warm and pampered.
Springsteen and Patti Smith singing on the night: "Come now, try and understand how I feel when I'm in your arms, take me now as the sun goes down, now can not get the evil ".
night, far from being a lonely place, it is rather the place where the relationship is intense, intimate shared, the place where "The couple" protects from external persecutor.
The night, however, hides a second aspect, inseparable: the night, daughter of chaos, generating death: we could say that when the experience of re-integration through an intimate relationship and shared fails , the night becomes the place of loss of meaning, the place of the emergence of monsters and nightmares, the place of anguish that breaks down the sense of self and disperses it in a thousand streams.
E 'known that many suicides take place at dawn when the night has failed in its function re-integration has now weakened by proposing a self destruction of the worst monsters and making him see the life, the day, in a way so warped sense of persecution that sometimes, at dawn, life becomes intractable.
Operators of emergency reception centers for drug addiction offer an alternative to this inaffrontabilità, Hypnos celebrate, but to do so must continually confront the difficulties presented by Thanatos, or the destructive part, irregular guests of the show centers. I will tell these stories collected.
In this night my thoughts and my best wishes go to all visitors of these centers and to all operators who have chosen to spend this night to ensure containment, a significant relationship with many people in need.
