The Tempest:

Once upon a time, there was an aspiring young writer. Then along came a spider and sat down beside her and frightened the writer inside her away.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful geyser and along came a group of psychiatrists who said, “We’ve got to stop this thing!”

Once upon a time, there was a wildfire in her mind, and that wildfire is what made way for the flowers that bloomed there in spring.

Once upon a time there was a bottle, and written on it, a prescription that said: “MOOD STABILIZER: take this anytime you begin to feel anything.”

That was once upon a time – but today is a new day.

Thank you so much, Paulo, for the comments you made in this clip, concerning the expression of human emotions, particularly for your views on anger, the emotion most often misunderstood, suppressed and feared. I’m not going to go into any great personal details about my experience, but I will only say that I am recently coming to the conclusion that the very things that I have been “treated” for in the past – anger, euphoria, extreme and almost instantaneous fluctuation of emotions – these are the very forces that also propel my writing and my life. Sure, I can survive on an even keel, with all of my emotions firmly “under control,” but for me it is just that – a state of mere “survival.” Nothing more, and certainly not life. To be emotionally straight-lined is not to be alive at all. For some of us, I’m beginning to think, intensity of emotion is just a normal condition of life – we were meant to experience life in extremes.

Your comments were very encouraging to me, particularly at this point, where I feel like I have to take back my life now, and make it my own.

I also thought the words you spoke a little further on were quite appropriate to this particular situation: “…Il bruco ha la caratteristica di trasformarsi in farfalla senza perdere la sua vera essenza… penso che ognuno di noi possa fare la stessa cosa…essere capaci di trasformarsi in una bella creatura senza perdere la naturale essenza.” (“The catapilar has the characteristic to transform itself into a butterfly, without losing its essence…I think that every one of us can do the same thing…be capable of transforming ourselves into a beautiful creature without losing our true nature.”)

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Savita Vega
