Luca Ilham
Di Prima
I am Luca Ilham Di Prima. I have always been Luca. Ilham was given to me.
She gave me more than another name. She gave me the courage to enter depths that had always been there. Depths I had not dared to enter before, let alone look into. And she gave me the courage and the name to return with words.
She is my light, my Nor.
And now, now I would gladly take you with me. Down.
What are Scarabocchi?
If we remain blind to how our life, as part of something greater, is set into the intricate puzzle of the reality around us, if we remain blind to the chain of causes and synchronicities that shape and guide us from before birth until death, the impact of our existence on this planet, in this universe, may seem insignificant.
The image we create of ourselves, the imprint we leave behind, might appear to be nothing more than simple Scarabocchi.
Scarabocchi. Traces of existence.
What are Scarabocchi?
The word Scarabocchi comes from Scarabeo-beetle. When a beetle, its legs dipped in ink, crosses a page, it leaves behind chaotic marks, seemingly meaningless.
If we look at the traces of our path without exploring the inner drive, our beetle, we may never uncover the deeper meaning behind our choices.
And the marks we leave may forever remain just Scarabocchi.
