Whisper in the center of the world: Offering of Stars ... by Pino Daeni, Odilon Redon.

There are places that do not grow old. Places where time has no hour, where every stone remembers.

This courtyard is one of them. It is said that a wish was made here. A wish so pure that even the stars held their breath. It was a night without a moon.

The garden was asleep, the fountain whispered an ancient prayer, and a being sat there — alone, facing the light, as one sits before the invisible.

No one knows if he was waiting… or if he was remembering. Perhaps both. Above him, the sky opened up, but without thunder. Just a silent beat, like the heart of a nameless angel watching over.

Since then, flowers bloom even in winter, the light stays on without a source, and sometimes… one hears a sigh, as if the painting itself breathes. Is this a beginning?

But there is one thing we know: this moment has never left the place. It is here. Suspended in stone, in water, in this light that nothing explains — except love, perhaps.
