Italian term

da far tremare ogni certezza

Italian to English Other Poetry & Literature Book to raise awareness o
Il mondo adulto, con le sue problematiche e priorità, fatte spesso di quelle che sembrano sciocchezze, si confronta con la paura più antica di tutte, quella del cambiamento improvviso. E nel farlo capisce di colpo che quelle non erano sciocchezze ma dinamiche normali, importanti, sue. Erano la vita nella sua quotidianità non eclatante, certo, ma così preziosa da far tremare ogni certezza nel momento in cui tutto sta per finire.
Una storia di amore puro e coraggio grande, spontaneo, lontano dai clamori, per ricordarci che ogni vicenda, anche la più triste e definitiva, porta con sé delle risposte e una nuova spinta a ripartire. Sta a noi, sempre, trasformare il dolore in occasione di riflessione e voglia di sognare ancora.
