Donne semplici

Last night I also took part in the "Poetry attack" the Committee "If not now, when?" In Rovigo and I must say that the experience was very positive. Were alternately declaimed verses of poets and poets of the feminist tradition (from A to D. Maraini Merini Piercy M. S. Chavez) on the theme of women, but not all. In celebrating

duly and once off the beaten schemi la festa della donna, ho vissuto questa esperienza soprattutto come un modo nuovo per portare messaggi importanti, secondo uno stile che è tutto nostro: uno stile diretto, gentile ed appassionato, che tutte ci accomuna nella difesa dei diritti della donna, e come lei di tutti coloro che sono “ultimi”, e nella difesa dei principi che sono alla base della nostra democrazia.
Chiunque se la sentisse ha potuto salire sul piccolo “palco” per leggere una delle poesie che il comitato aveva scelto o per leggerne una da lei/lui scelta per l'occasione.

Io, del tutto inesperta nel settore, in previsione, avevo scartabellato a lungo nel mio piccolo archivio che contiene più che altro brani di cantautori of the seventies. Loved that one part it says that "The times are about to change" and the other that "The power is in the hands of the people." Fit like a glove for this time of change.
But doubt that Women's Day was not the right occasion (because basically these are issues to be dealt with calmly, as they need to, in the days ahead of us), made me give up.
And then the piece does not make it without music.

So finally my search has landed on a poem-prayer of Tagore on the greatness of simplicity. Propose again below the "my" contribution to the initiative, I wish all women who know how to be simple to be able to make a difference:

"O God of Life / decapitates my desires: / struggling with the size / just to obtain a void. / Commit themselves earnestly / to conquer the world / then only for / a grain of mustard. / Do you mix the small kingdom / desires / and give me great possession / happiness. /
are especially to be desired, / all and always, the joys / priceless and unattainable / treasures unsolicited, / that in a thousand forms, / by the light of dawn / the darkness of the night, / have created endless riches / on earth and in heaven. / Who will bring these joys to large and simple / as hosts of lotus in full bloom and from the midst of heaven, / water and earth / in throwing arm / current simplicity? "
(from NOIBEDDO - R. Tagore)
