In times of coronavirus the level of anxiety and fear has grown palpably. For those who are in Italy as well as for those who are far away, there are many reasons for concern. We can succumb to these complicated emotions or take advantage of this moment to listen to us a little better. What do we hear? What aspect of the global situation are we most afraid of? For some it may be the beginning of a practice of awareness that will help to understand each other and get to know each other better. Only by shedding light on our fears can we manage them. Only by knowing ours can we better understand those of others.
