Perhaps we should grant human nature an instinctive desire to move, an impulse to movement in the broadest sense. The very act of traveling helps to create a feeling of physical and mental well-being, while the monotony of prolonged stasis and steady work weaves patterns in the brain that gener-ate prostration and a sense of personal inadequacy. ” (Bruce Chatwin, What am I doing here?)
Today, in a time of migrations, traveling, anxieties and uncertainties, thou-sands of men and women are crossing seas and deserts facing immense obstacles and dangers, asking themselves this same question every day, “what am I doing here?”.
I always looked at space and movement as vital dimensions capable of gi-ving new meanings and a new rhythm to life. Every movement, every move, every change may require efforts, but is also a way to challenge oneself, to get to know the true value of difference, to discover new worlds. Movement is a breath of fresh air, opens new hori-zons, avoids the Bruce Chatwin’s “cobwebs in the brain” of the sedentary life.
But traveling with imagination is also possible, and is sometimes the best way of discovering the hidden worlds outside and inside us.
