DIARY OF A NIGHT: E 'night .. one night with an almost magical .. is a night of what you would never end. inside you there are so many memories and emotions that you almost fear that closing my eyes fade .. decide, then, despite the late hour to take a pen and paper and write .. write .. But what? Orora I returned from the celebration of the 60th of our group scout Iseo1.
The celebration for this milestone has been eventful, but I can not forget the week before this important day .. My father looked like a mock-kangaroo leaping from his laboratory on the phone from the PC Megane, the seamstress artist-architect .. if, by chance, you needed the Pythagorean 8rso found in laboratory dealing with glue, sandpaper and other strange things but hardly your voice came to him .. it was almost impossible to accomplish, for example, a simple argument. His emotion was very strong and, even when he wrote the two lines for the paper to be sent, then, via e_mail the reporter .. His voice trembled. 8rso but you just have to answer your questions .. do not worry. Here
arrived on Saturday. spends the morning, I can safely say, in the office, sometimes you hear a voice: "How we organize ourselves for today?" . you reply, but then we proceed .. then echo .. and you reply on ..
Arrive 14 .. X is the time .. Bear Sensitive board the vehicle and its powerful way to Brescia .. has an important task: to pick flowers. During the trip I think and think .. as will be tonight? The uniform was worn immediately upon awakening, are tied to the belt area is the glass and is the rosary, the shirt is ironed, clean pants all outwardly but the soul is perfect scout how are you? This question is not answered .. for now is perhaps the Lord with St. George and my grandmother talking to me but now I just think of drive and pick the flowers.
Pick the flowers, go back into the car and off again towards Iseo and from home where I 8rsoPitagorico waiting for, finally, in uniform .. we look in the eye, we both have one desire: to get into the car and go to church but Pilzone to set the clock strikes 15:30 is still early. We consume a fleeting snack to pass the time but then you have to leave. we get the square of the church of St. Thomas in the van .. unload the material and so 8rso part with half going to park it.
just have a few minutes alone in this chiesetta.รจ cold, is almost in the shadows .. I sit on a bench and look at the painting above the altar. Madonna also you must be cold look at the world today, watching what happens in our micro-cosmos, but tonight with the heat scout, even for a moment, you will be surrounded by a slight warmth of hymns, words spoken from the heart. and, perhaps, you can regain some 'confidence in man and I at the end of the celebration will take your picture close in my heart for reminding me of this moment of such intense dialogue between me and my Mother Celeste. Now he's back
8rso Pythagorean and it is time to prepare. your bank or mini altar where we place? where the flowers we put them? Everything, almost by magic and enchantment, takes shape .. Now comes, also, Lone Wolf to work better or to help .. Everything is ready or nearly so. will take pictures to capture this church which now becomes a place of worship scout. Arrive in dribs and drabs all .. With emotions I get the first part of 1946 allotment, the Notary Bonardi scouts and other brothers who, unfortunately, at this time, their name escapes me. Now comes, also, our spiritual assistant Don Sergio.
is made in the sacristy, a small ceremony of the chalice and paten to Don Sergio by 8rso Pythagorean (always during the week had gone by Don Mario to receive and bless them, too, a blessing), Aquila diligent and Lone Wolf. Almost by magic as the first song is sung: Madonna degli Scout, my eyes are raised towards that fresco above the altar. see Madonna, you too, tonight you can hang your coat to these brothers Scout .. Every so often my eyes are crossed to the altar boy. this role is played by my father .. his emotion is palpable, it moves almost off the ground, almost .. Now from mock-kangaroo you become a real rover ..
Almost at the end of the ceremony is renewed our promise. our brother Vingiano renews after 60 years .. now really the emotion is high. is something that envelops you like a cape .. the lyrics come straight to the heart and pass before your eyes, like a film, the images of Thy promise. Now I take refuge in the sacristy and let the tears wet my face. I hope, however, that no one can enter this time because it is just a moment my .. most communication between me and the High .. I can always see, even at this angle, the image of Our Lady. The promise I made October 2, 2005 .. and reading documents in the possession of my father I found out that he, too, embraced and promised BP and scouting in early October back in the 60s .. If this is a coincidence? For me, no .. There is always a connection between the events .. a thin but there is almost imperceptible ..
are also other commemorative plates delivered to the Notary Bonardi Lone Wolf and because, thanks to its howling, he keeps us united.
The celebration is now completed .. you disassemble everything .. The candles are blown out also that in the lantern .. everything comes back as before. No, it is not .. because, the atmosphere remains scout within these walls, and even though you Madonna now everyone returns to their homes in so many ways You keep busy, however, to protect and watch over him. For my part I can assure you that when I happen to be around here and you will find a small candle will light .. maybe, just to remind us of this evening or . As always come back to reality by my friend Giancarlo because he needs a hand to load the table into the van, ready now on .. .. all from the Alpine group to continue to celebrate our anniversary!
During dinner, Fabio A. celebrates, in its way, this anniversary of his experience talking to Lourdes, his commitment to the sick and all that, perhaps unfairly, is not rewarded with scarves Blancs. But Fabio turn your powerful way and we go to Lourdes Immaculate! During dinner, emerging memories, anecdotes, memories of some fields and, occasionally, you see the bright eyes but this makes everything more wonderful festival. Now it is night .. not later but some prefer to return to their homes .. greets you by giving us the left hand as does the actual scout and go. Outside .. near the extinct fire and close, even, to the flag of Italy are a small group of scouts who still speak of Lourdes, the next field. of these scouts nobody wants to go home even Don Sergio, you make a few steps and then, again, still talking. Goodbye
rover to the next field. but mostly good roads.
