Shuten-dōji

Shuten-dōji

by Danilo Falà

Remember that when we identify our fears, right then and there, we become more vulnerable. But within this vulnerability are also our strengths, because we also become aware of what we really want.

That is why I looked straight into the eyes of my inner demons, to arm myself with courage in the face of my fears. The goal was to prevent all the disappointments I had collected from dominating my path and to become, rather, the foundation on which to build a secure foundation for my future.

My dear demons,

I have discovered you,

I have housed you,

I have nurtured you,

I have created you.

Now the time has come to bring you out.
