Anxiety is “an existential emotion” that describes a condition in which things lose meaning and seem to withdraw (into the void). A mental state triggered by something undefined and absolute – like death. Everything burns from the inside, there is restlessness to the point of losing touch with reality. Imagination becomes a domain of reality. And shame stands in the way of touch, and of action.

The body does not allow us to ignore what the mind cries out for and tortures us in return. Questions about execution and fulfilment, about meaning and investment become fateful issues. Internal struggles are blown out of proportion and become a matter of life and death. This is an opportunity for the essence of things to reveal itself.

The state of anxiety does not need a solution but rather an embrace and recognition: recognition of the imagination at play, recognition of desires, of passions, of expectations and vision. So as to return and reunite the movement of the soul with reality. Embrace anxiety, dare to act from within it.

There is no passion without anxiety.
