I visitatori celesti
by Candiani, Chandra LiviaThe celestial visitors are four figures who bring a message: there is no escape from growing old, getting sick, dying, but there is a Path, opposite to oblivion, which transcends the damage and suffering when dealing with them. That is why they are called “messengers”, because they bring burning news, a message that awakens. And “celestial” because they don’t just reveal the inevitability of life’s radical challenges: they also open the threshold to meanings that are otherwise ignored; celestial meanings that come from beyond the reassuring and comforting condition where we constantly retreat due to the anguish brought on by the finitude and pain.
