Dear Friend,

I want to tell you a tale regarding an individual being who believed to be a honest and pure person above the rest of the humankind.

But the matter is that he never had the humbleness to watch himself in a mirror to face the reality:

that he simply was the worst stubborn and stupid snake ever borne before!!!

The title of the story is:

THE CREEPING SNAKE

First chapter

There was once a snake that attempted to perform like a man, therefore he believed that acting like a guru could be a genius idea and a secure path to conceal his actual identity accordingly.

At first he took various deities as reference to increase and enlarge his knowledge upon this new environment seen his animal nature origin. Then his preference fell on – Say Baba – for which he matured a huge devotion to the point of putting a person size photo of this important guru in his own flat.

Unfortunately, according to his limited brain, he pretended that by following some rules and body exercises he could accomplish the transformation from animal state to an individual being.

So he started his new life, at first, with goodwill. He fed himself with vegetarian food only, and, furthermore, he could fast at will. We can figure him out like a saint.

He hated so much falsehoods and never cheated anyone. He could pray and meditate for several hours and was capable of reaching the major point of perfection state.

He was so good that anyone who had the fortune to meet him couldn’t refrain to shed tears for the joy of the miracle they had got to be blessed by him.

He loved divine music and enchanted people when he used to play the Indian piano and sang with his grave voice which came straight out from his heart giving a sense of peace to anyone. He couldn’t hurt a fly and to be at his presence meant bliss!

He never behaved in arrogant manner was not a miser and hated selfishness and greediness. He was not a coward and struggled bravely to defend who was weaker.

And since he founded his own school?!? anytime he fixed up a date for a meeting a multitude of followers crowded the location wherever he stayed at, nonchalant of the paramount fatigue and related expenses they had to afford to get it!!!………….the next chapter at the soonest

Second Chapter

Nevertheless a sense of panic never left him alone! Since he was naturally used to creep and the fact that he could stand up-right position on his own foot was such good sensation, that, the fear of losing it, was a not supportable sorrow.

I am obliged, for not running the jeopardy of being misunderstood, to outline a little preamble on the snake eternal circle. According to the holy laws, among all the animals, seen his despicable animal nature, for what concern the snake: there is no possibility of getting the state of paramount perfection. The only reward allowed to him, further many proofs of good behaviour, it was to get an individual being. And during his terrestrial being the better he behaved the longer he could live. Just few cases, since the earth existence, are known of snakes transformed in individual being which had the privilege of immortality.

At this stage our protagonist, instead of continuing to search the right way to save himself to deserve at the end the miracle of being definitely transformed: from animal state to an individual being; he made the mistake of changing route.

His snake insight knew very well that there was a curse hanging - since ever - on his head:

TTHHEE EETTEERRNNAALL CCOONNDDEEMMNNAATTIIOONN,, TTOO RREETTUURRNN TTOO BBEE TTHHEE

–– CCRREEEEPPIINNGG SSNNAAKKEE -.

Even though, he knew all that he couldn’t refrain himself. His wickedness took advantage and he restarted to perform in his more congenial style making all sorts of misdoing ; stubbornly and irrespective of his curse.

He tirelessly searched and researched the existence of the – Blue Children –, (it seems that these individuals are born with the capacity of fostering themselves with the cosmos energy and they can live forever) attracted by the possibility of learning the secret of being eternal.

At the same time, (another stress that I must imply to let you understand the factual motivation of our story snake alteration) since that these species of animals during the earth passage as individual being have not the capacity of gaining the resources in order of surviving, the providence furnishes them of the related assets to live accordingly, provided they didn’t change theirs predestined route/destiny with the – freewill -.

According to the above mentioned our snake changed completely his standard of life. He only cared about himself: health / money / and immortality, were the mere targets he aimed to.

He owned a hotel and some others assets as income given by the divine providence to let him live, as parasite, up-to the end of his established existence date; but he was too taken by the will of being immortal that couldn’t think about the previous agreement agreed upon with the Holy Spirit!

He began to be a fury!

He didn’t want to die!

He didn’t want to return to the primordial snake state!

But age went by, he was accomplishing the last time left!

He was getting mature for the: - Dead Lady – !

AAUUTTHHOORR’’SS NNOOTTEESS

Dedicated from the very bottom of his heart…

3. THE GRAVE IS THERE READY TO LODGE YOU FOR THE LAST TRIP IN THE SNAKES’ LAND.

I WILL LET You know IN ADVANCE: THE DAY & THE TIME OF YOUR END!!! YOU CAN SWEAR ON IT!!!

L’imperfezione del  “senno del poi”

Quanti destini sarebbero stati diversi se avessero applicato “il senno del poi”

I rimpianti ed i compiacimenti non avrebbero avuto senso con il compimento del “senno del poi”

L’umanità ottusa non si sarebbe formata con il compimento del “senno del poi”

Non ci sarebbero state guerre e conseguenti tregue con il compimento del “senno del poi”

La rabbia e la violenza non sarebbero sussistite con il compimento del “senno del poi”

Il beffeggiatore non avrebbe potuto esercitare la sua bassezza con il compimento del “senno del poi”

Ma cosa sarebbe stata la vita con il costante compimento del “senno del poi?”

… suppongo:«una fumosa irrealtà!»

Morte

***

Morte dolce spegnimento di materia vana

Che ha vissuto il tempo del suo tempo

Per risorgere poi  in un tempo  che non ha tempo

E che finalmente riesce a scorgere tutti i tempi  senza calcolo di tempo

Serenità assoluta di spazi cullati da melodie ammaliatrici

Che ti rapiscono senza portarti via

Morte che dai vita ai sensi

Che ti riportano dove l’unità suprema

Anela dal suo sempre la fusione dell’eterno ciclo

Per definire con il suo fine il punto iniziale

Della grande magia esistenziale
