LIKE STARS SEEN FROM A FAR

The De Andreis family tree.

When we look up, we think we are looking into space, but, in reality, we are looking into time: into the past, to be exact. We see stars that ceased to exist millions of years ago while we do not see the new stars, whose light will take millions of years to reach the Earth. Everything changes depending on our point of view.

Things have happened to us in life that seemed bad at the time and then turned out to be links to other good things, which we could not have reached otherwise, or viceversa. Then, yes: there have also been bad things that were actually really bad and good things that were actually really good.

Looking back to when we were children, it is striking to think that potentially, all of our history was already there. Our talents, our mistakes, our passions, the trials we would face, the love we would have, what we would give. We were already complete people, buds that enshrined their future history. All children contain the children of the future. They are like stars seen from afar
