DESERTI
DESERTI
"When you reach the perfect balance between body and mind,
push yourself ahead, in search of the extreme limit. So you will
understand that it exists only inside you".
Why a person, and in particular a
women, one day decides
to challenge common sense and to risk her life to cross the desert?
Carla Perrotti doesn't want to prove anything to anybody, she
doesn't want to challenge the hostile nature, and she doesn't
want to push her luck. For her the desert represents nature and
her desire is to became as close as she can with it, became part
of it, live the deep harmony that from appearances the desert
doesn't seem to have.
Even if the experiences that Carla describes and that changed
her life forever are very different between them, they have a
common line:
Understand nature, merge with it and discover
that only when we abandon ourselves to the greatest powers that
we are really the masters of ourselves, face to face with our
nature.
This is a book that talks about travelling, adventures, deep
emotions and exciting experiences, but more than everything
talks about the harmony with nature and with life.
SILKENCE OF THE SAND
My experiences are bound by a single thread: the need for
solitude in a wide-open space, the necesity to live in direct
contact with nature in the most intense way, in one word, the
desert.
A trip in the desert in fact is differet from any other trip.
It is a mystic experience. This was also the thought of Carla
Perrotti who succeededin realizing her dream and successfully
accomplished an expedition never completed by another:
crossing alone on foot the major deserts of the earth.
In her second book she resounts the last two: the Taklimakan,
enclosed by the Himalayan mountians in China, never crossed
before on foot by anyone, and the Simpson Desert, the
red dunes in the heart of Australia.
It is not the ‘record’ that attracts her, but rather
the spirit of adventure, the desire to prove the ability of
the body and human psyche in limitless conditions and her love
for solitude, the essential element for arriving at an understanding
of yourself.
