The inner journey that led me to create the book “Talitha a Breath of Light” began about eight years ago.
The year 2011 started dreadfully. All the things I really cared about collapsed during the early months. Everything fell in slow motion before my eyes, giving me all the time it took to understand the destruction in its smallest details, and feel the poisonous and bitter taste of suffering which flooded every part of my mind.
The heartbreak I felt over a girl gave way to health concerns, which, even though seeming serious, later turned out to be false; still, I well remember the long and exhausting wait for medical results that lasted months.

The year 2011 started dreadfully. All the things I really cared about collapsed during the early months. Everything fell in slow motion before my eyes, giving me all the time it took to understand the destruction in its smallest details, and feel the poisonous and bitter taste of suffering which flooded every part of my mind.
The heartbreak I felt over a girl gave way to health concerns, which, even though seeming serious, later turned out to be false; still, I well remember the long and exhausting wait for medical results that lasted months. Meanwhile, as I waited for my results from the hospital, I suffered the failure of the small business I had tried with much effort to launch for almost two years, and afterward, the unexpected loss of my day job, and a very good salary.
I thought I had lost everything: love, health, dreams, money and security.
I had nothing left and I was nothing. I was just anger and misery.
In those days, I still thought I was what I had.
I still didn't know that I was heading toward emotions I could never have imagined.
At the end of the year my life didn't just change. It underwent an amazing revolution.
I began to discover that inside ourselves, we have much more than we can find outside. I was given the opportunity to understand that "God" (or whatever you want to call It) really exists, although It has nothing to do with religious laws, beliefs or anything else connected to them.
This revolution sparked a huge, inevitable change within me, and consequently on everything around me, on my every behavior, and on every relationship I had with the people and family who knew and loved me for years. It was not easy.
From the beginning of 2012 to this very day, the spiritual experiences I’ve lived have been countless and wonderful. I am immensely grateful every single day.
During meditations we can perceive beautiful emotions, so pervasive and entrancing as to leave us breathless, but real proof is not limited to those moments, it can be found in everyday life, because it is through life that the most beautiful teachings emerge.
About five years ago, I took a pen in my hand and began to write. The words came occasionally. I transcribed them on anything I had available. I couldn't hold them in. The paper pile and even chunks of cardboard, which I sometimes found and used to write things down, grew slowly. At first I couldn’t have imagined that it’d become a book, let alone a published one.
Talitha's words are part of all of us. We can find them during the journey that we’re all destined to take. Of course, everyone will do it differently, but the result will be the same as I came to know years ago: a light that will not only be seen, but will actually be felt. A joy that during those moments will leave no space for suffering. When we are immersed in that light, we realize that it does not only flood and fill us, but that we’re literally part of It because we are One with It ... we are that light.
It will never be forgotten again.
Hugs to every one of you...
