Advent

In this very unusual year, I lived immersed in reflections and divided between moments of joy and longing, seeing myself “deprived” of doing a few things I like, I saw the advent time almost without realizing it.

At this time I feel invited to reflect, despite being a year of great introspection, if I was asked last year what it would be like for me to spend a year at home I would answer that it should be very difficult and unthinkable, today I recognize that it was much easier than i imagined, i discovered new ways to love life, to be with myself and with others, distance has ceased to represent an obstacle, technology has brought closer those who love us, friends or simply acquaintances.

It is also true, and although it is not of great manifestation of love, I confess that what I miss most is that strong embrace that warms th heart and illuminates the soul, mainly from the reunion, the farewell, or just because

I feel invited and voluntary in hope, in faith, in patience in the face of life's difficulties and tribulations, in sharing and renewing all things this Christmas 2020

I stopped, looked at the Advent calendar, and thought about, substitute sweets for daily reflections, deeds, and wishes, delivering myself each day looking forward to the arrival of 25 December
