Deep free diving

[Guest guest]

>From Pelizzari's website;

 

"From the depth of 0 to 100 metres and even deeper, headlong into the

abyss the heart beat gets slower, the body disappears, and all the

feelings take a new form. The only thing that remains us is the soul.

A long jump into the soul, which seams to absorb in the universe.

Every time I re-ascend is making a choice: it's me who re-find myself

in my human dimension, metre by metre, to come up then to see the light

again. It often happens that I am asked what is there to see deep down

in the sea. Maybe the only possible answer is that one does not descend

in apnoea to look around but to look into himself. In the abyss I look

for myself. This is a mystical experience bordering the divine. I am

immensely alone but it feels as if inside of me there were all the

humanity with me. It is my being a human-being that surpasses the limits

that are looked for becoming absorbed in the sea, which melts into

itself and re-finds itself."
