As a flash of misty light
that left me dazed and astonished
this is how I came across Andrei Tarkovsky for the very first time.
From that truly alive moment
to the next one and the next one and the other,
each time going somewhere else which I have not been before
and each time opening a locked door.
The power of art, seen as an intimate journey,
is the one that allows yourself to travel inwardly
until you reach your true nature.
Mine is the one of a child in a world of meanings and colours and for this revelation I wish to pay homage to the russian film maker and artist Andrei Tarkovsky.
