oggi ho l’energia di un bradipo a riposo<\/font><\/em><\/strong> (today I\u2019ve got the energy of a sleeping sloth). These were the opening words of a short post on my friend Annalisa\u2019s Facebook yesterday evening. Intrigued by this metaphor, I carried on reading, and \u2026 the rest of the post was so beautiful and sad that I immediately asked Annalisa for permission to use it on our blog. Here it is in full:<\/p>\n

\u2026 oggi ho l’energia di un bradipo a riposo \u2026 il che \u00e8 tutto dire … non mi piace sentirmi cos\u00ec! Esco fuori: orto e giardino (giardino, ovvero terra pietrosa ed incolta che sto cercando di ingentilire con erbe spontanee, piante officinali, talee di fiori rubati qua e l\u00e0 … o raccolti durante le passeggiate …) mi guardano, come per dire: "allora, cosa ci fai oggi? porti via un po’ di sassi? pianti le talee? sposti le piante cresciute troppo e le doni un po’ di spazio? pulisci? beh? guardi? giri cos\u00ec a vuoto?\u201d … Niente da fare, giornata senza vitalit\u00e0. Entro in casa, "apro" Facebook e mi deprimo ulteriormente: animali torturati, politica, ambiente inquinato e defraudato della sua bellezza … Oh cielo! Provo a mettermi a cucire e cerco di non morire \u2026 almeno fino a stasera per il corso di intreccio cesti …<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2026 today I\u2019ve got the energy of a sleeping sloth \u2026 which is saying something \u2026 I don\u2019t like feeling like this! I go outside: vegetable patch and garden (garden, in reality some stony and uncultivated land which I\u2019m trying to soften with wild herbs, medicinal plants, cutting of flowers stolen from here and there \u2026 or collected during walks \u2026) look at me as if to say: \u201cso, what are you going to do to us today? take away a few stones? plant the cuttings? move the plants that have grown too much and give them a bit of space? clean? well? are you just looking? wandering around aimlessly?\u201d \u2026 There\u2019s nothing to be done about it, a day without energy. I go inside, \u201copen\u201d Facebook and get even more depressed: tortured animals, politics, polluted environment robbed of its beauty \u2026 Oh God! I try to get on with some sewing and not to die \u2026 at least until this evening for the basket weaving course \u2026<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

P.S. Annalisa is still alive, she went to the basket weaving course and she\u2019s now feeling much better.<\/p>\n
