We double-checked, and these are indeed the nine states of existence: 1. OK, 2. afraid, 3. asleep, 4. paralyzed, 5. petrified, 6. poisoned, 7. dead, 8. ashes, 9. lost [as a ghost wandering the otherworld].

Bisogna ritornare sui passi già dati, per ripeterli, e per tracciarvi a fianco nuovi cammini. Bisogna ricominciare il viaggio. Sempre.

"What do you need to know about Tokyo? Deep, deep waters. The first time I came here, it was a transformative experience. It was a powerful and violent experience. It was just like taking acid for the first time-meaning, What do I do now? I see the whole world in a different way.

I often compare the experience of going to Japan for the first time, going to Tokyo for the first time, to what Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend-the reigning guitar gods of England-must have gone through the week that Jimi Hendrix came to town.

You hear about it. You go see it. A whole window opens up into a whole new thing. And you think, What does this mean? What do I have left to say? What do I do now?"

Japan. Tokyo. Haneda airport. 1971. A “Zengakuren” (special Japanese way of demonstration, like a big ondulating snake) attempted to forcibly prevent Japan’s Prime minister Sato’s departure from Haneda Airport for Saigon of South Vietnam as this Prime minister’s visit was clearly intended to encourage the war of slaughter against the Vietnamese people and to win the approval of international society.
