A few days ago, walking along the road that leads to my house, I observed some weeds on the side of the road, I was struck by some small flowers that could be seen in the middle of the branches and dry plants, as I approached I could discover that they were still clinging to the life of a branch that was cut from a splendorous poppy tree.

The branches were dying, even brown like the rest of the dead nature, but they, in the midst of what could be considered, for some, garbage, emerged as small miracles of life. I thought at that moment about the meaning of life, death, eternity and transcendence. There are those who go through life as if nothing matters to them, simply existing as one more entity that magically appeared to fill a space. Others who strive to create a place where they are unique, some who think of eternity as something inherent to human existence, some who know they are fleeting and live with intensity, and there are those of us who seek to transcend.

As I looked at those small and delicate flowers struggling to live and transcend in the midst of that existence that was running out, I began to reflect on my own life. The first thing I said to myself was "congratulations, you are still on the way", how many people today do not have the same opportunity to be, to be and to enjoy the here and now. I believe that one of the most difficult things that every human being goes through according to his own existence is to answer what is the meaning of his life? Why he wakes up every day and why he continues. All of us who experienced the pandemic and overcame it should be able to see this purpose more clearly.

Seeing behind the dry branches that little flower peeking out with her sisters with the desire to live with more strength and beauty than ever knowing that this was her only chance and only day, I had clarity in many of my own things that always happen to remind me of the transience of life. Transcendence comes from the moments when we have been in the right place at the right time, when we have meant a change in the lives of people who have approached us in search of the light they lack.

Transcending, like those little flowers that know they are already on another plane, surrounded by death, is like being in a world where we have exhausted the current forms of life and must reinvent a future for the generations to come. Today in the midst of changes and global transformation, where we have discovered the need to return to the simple, the necessary and the priority, we discover ourselves ignorant even surrounded by so much knowledge, today we are overwhelmed by globality, interconnection and networks that expose us at all times. To transcend is to change what we have made public, it is to return to the space of the private, it is to recognize that we have isolated ourselves in ourselves and that we must turn our gaze to our surroundings.

We became strong, so much so that we forgot that life is extremely fragile, that one of our actions has consequences and that it is up to us to change, improve and mutate. Today we hide behind the avatar, our alter egos are made thanks to artificial intelligence and our own essence tries to live behind the coldness of a society that dies and agonizes at the mercy of overexposure in the networks. We are like those little flowers, trying to show what is still alive inside us. Yes, to transcend is to do something to awaken, to offer and give us the possibility to be better for ourselves and for those we love. To transcend is to leave a beautiful footprint, to overcome sadness, loneliness and isolation, to transcend does not mean to be eternal, instead it is about living and being happy with yourself, in harmony with your environment and with the task of leaving even more life on this planet that is dying because of us.
