RETURN OF THE INCA
As the shadows fall across the sand
I turn and look at the red line on the horizon
I find his red lips revealed
Long rows of mother of pearl teeth
While long multi-colored silk tails
Hide resplendent green eyes
In a windless atmosphere.
On his head
A black snake wraps itself
Looking for the hieroglyphic.
The return of the Inca.
TWELVE CRYSTAL SKULLS
The willows sleep
above the pond
at this hour
eyes full of pain
arrive too late
after having traversed rivrs of tears
and heard the wind howl.
Red streets
Green olive groves
Twelve crystal skulls
Emerge resplendent
From the sea of fog.
Books news: Di Fronte alla Vita (“In Front of Life”)
My latest book was published: Di Front alla Vita or “In Front of Life.”
In this book I cover the paths of human life which are often rough with difficulties with a courage to look ahead and keep going.
THREE POINTS OF A TEAM
There are at least THREE points, that left unsatisfied, will hinder the development of a team.
1. The need to use personal skills to contribute to team efforts.
2. The need to be accepted and recognized by other team members.
3. The need for the team to follow goals which are compatible with personal ones.
When managers recruit team members, they often commit the error of looking only at their skills and not at their personal goals.
Just possessing skills and competence does not guarantee good insertion in a team.
Drunk on stars
Drunk on stars
from the window
I see grass sprouting.
Prepare your soul
for the wind.
On the top of the mountain
the sky changes colors
while your pain
disappears in time
like a shadow.
WORK TEAM
Working in a team is the type of work style that an ethical manager favors.
To be in a team is to be two or more persons interacting towards a common goal.
Two or more persons working together but not communicating, is not a team.
People that work together and communicate with each other but do not have a common goal, are not a team.
Among other things, being in a team means being with people that compensate for each other’s respective weaknesses and defects. Each one of us has strong parts and weak parts.
In a team each person develops his or her own talents and gifts…
Unfortunately, many managers think only about eliminating their employees’ weak spots.
My experience tells me that excessively reducing the weak parts of a person significantly reduces that person’s vitality.

BLIND GIRLS
Blind girls
Interrogate the heart
While children cry
The mountains look far
Observing
The lake die
In silence.
MOON IN HAND
Abandoned voices
Tremble in the wind.
Doors closed.
Slowly the lit candle
Goes out
As I hold the moon in my hands.
SHIVER OF DARKNESS
A shiver of darkness
runs through my soul
while
fire
joins
the sound of a bell.
FROM POSSESSION TO WELCOMING
Like a child who in its narcissism does not know the identity of its love objects, contemporary man -who has a strictly instrumental relationship to things- does not know the identity of the things surrounding him; things he even loves and is victim of with a sense of incommunicability and loneliness, like every narcissist.
A non-symmetrical response is called for here.
To bring things back to their original state, to God.
God, who gave the things of this world as a gift to human beings, in order to clothe us, nourish us and make us happy.
The world then is given new meaning as gift and gratuity. Things go from being silent objects of unclear substance to spoken areas where we thank God.
We pass from possession to welcoming.
The world does not belong to human beings, but we can serve ourselves of it.
