And in the end, it hurt like hell, but I still walked out alive. Alive, and better than ever before.

Mock trial is so silly because I’m a cop AND the cop’s rival. I have so much chemistry with myself it is ridiculous.

SIRACUSA - IL DUOMO AD ORTIGIA

Io sono sempre esistito, fin da quando i primi uomini sono arrivati in quest’isola e dove io sono, il punto più alto di questo luogo chiamato Ortigia, hanno costruito con i mezzi che avevano e con la fede e la speranza che lì li avevamo portati, un luogo per onorare e santificare quello che non conoscevano ma che già allora vinceva i loro dubbi e le loro paure. Io, già allora, esistevo. Fui così dimora di Atena, moschea dell’Unico e Misericordioso, casa della Vergine Madre, custode della Santa, ma soprattutto io sono sempre stato e sono. L’alba mi colora di rosa, il sole rende immacolate le mie pietre, la pioggia le rende lucide, la sera ne esalta la maestosità delle mie forme più antiche e la leggerezza di quelle più recenti ed infine il tramonto mi dona il colore del corallo, ma io resto nel mutare di tutto, la dimora di tutti, di chi sempre sarà e dei cuori degli umani, dei loro sogni e delle loro paure. Questo sono stato, questo continuo ad essere. La mia ricchezza non è nella bellezza delle statue, nella ricchezza degli ori e degli argenti, dei dipinti o delle antiche colonne. La mia ricchezza è nel mio essere, nel fare da punto di riferimento per migliaia di generazioni, senza mutare e senza perdere il mio senso e dando senso e motivo di essere a chi da me lo cerca.

Il tempo non è mai stato il mio padrone ma ha reso ogni mia pietra, dimora dell’eternità.

I have always existed, ever since the first men arrived on this island and where I am, the highest point of this place called Ortigia, they built with the means they had and with the faith and hope that we had them there. brought, a place to honor and sanctify what they did not know but which already overcame their doubts and fears. I, even then, existed. Thus I was the abode of Athena, the mosque of the One and Merciful, the house of the Virgin Mother, guardian of the Saint, but above all I have always been and am. The dawn colors me pink, the sun makes my stones immaculate, the rain makes them shiny, in the evening it enhances the majesty of my oldest forms and the lightness of the most recent ones and finally the sunset gives me the color of coral , but I remain in the changing of everything, the abode of everyone, of who will always be and of the hearts of humans, of their dreams and fears. This I have been, this I continue to be. My wealth is not in the beauty of the statues, in the richness of the gold and silver, of the paintings or of the ancient columns. My wealth is in my being, in acting as a reference point for thousands of generations, without changing and without losing my meaning and giving meaning and reason to be to those who seek it from me.

Time has never been my master but has made every stone of mine the abode of eternity.

Πυριφλεγέθων

Pyriphlegeton (sometimes only called Phlegeton) was the underworld river of fire and its god. He was one of five infernal rivers, the others being Acheron, Styx, Lethe and Cocytus. Plato describes it as “a stream of fire, which coils round the earth and flows into the depths of Tartarus”. It was parallel to the river Styx. It is said that the goddess Styx was in love with Pyriphlegethon, but she was consumed by his flames and sent to Hades. Eventually, when Hades allowed her river to flow through, they reunited.
