A Window to Existence

By Nikoletta Dania

It is a moonless night, and a beam of light enters through a crack in her window. Then, the light takes the shape of a shining angel and talks to her:
“Don’t be scared. I am the sun ray that managed to fool the night. I came to remind you that I exist, even when the sun doesn’t shine anymore. So, I decided to visit you uninvited through your window’s jalousie. Perhaps not totally uninvited. I heard you calling and inviting me. I felt that you want me to appear before you, even though you didn’t know it. You wanted to give birth to everything you hid deep inside you on a piece of paper. But you didn’t believe I was there. And when your tears washed out your eyes and you could see clearly, I thought it was time for those eyes to be dressed in light! Let’s write together what the others cannot see, let’s bring to life what many believe has died. Let’s go touch together the truth of the journey we were destined to go on. And remember that I am inside you, even when you don’t see me. I will spurt like a cascade when you want to lighten up all creation. Like a vast ocean, I will swamp your existence when you want to let yourself go. And the more you give, the cleanlier I will wash you. For you and I are one.”

Nikoletta Dania

Nikoletta Dania, daughter of Andreas and Foteini, was born and raised in Kamaroula, Agrinio. She studied Law at the Kapodistrian University of Athens, worked in Athens for a number of years, and currently lives and works as an attorney in Thessaloniki. The art of writing has moved her since her early childhood years. The Elementary school’s reading book constituted her first stimulus, and she has been expressing herself poetically ever since she learnt to write. She always liked giving her own original analyses of literary works. Two of her stable sources of inspiration are nature and the simple, natural way of life she experienced during her childhood in her parents’ village. Her love and admiration for the World, for Creation, as well as for the very existence of humans, find their way through her words that get rhythmically entangled.

Introduction

A few years ago, I found myself on a long, lonely journey. There, on the other side of the world, as I felt it, I started a lengthy dialogue with my existence, which is still going on to this day… I gradually imprinted those inner researches that were affected over time by the things I had to experience, with a mood for discharging myself from them as well as sharing them with the people I loved along the way. And since you cannot but love the entire world that is reflected in the eyes of somebody if you truly love that person, I now wanted to open
