Il Sahara non è un laboratorio segreto, è un deserto, e ogni tanto il vento lo porta da noi. Ogni volta che il cielo diventa lattiginoso, il sole appare velato e sulle auto resta quella patina giallastra, parte puntuale il grande romanzo del “pulviscolo artificiale”. Eppure basterebbe molto meno di un’indagine internazionale. A volte basterebbe conoscere un po’ di geografia, guardare una carta del Mediterraneo o aprire un semplice libro delle scuole elementari e scoprire che sotto l’Italia c’è il Nord Africa, e nel Nord Africa c’è il Sahara. Incredibile vero? Ma soprattutto c'è un dettaglio sorprendente, il Sahara contiene sabbia e polveri minerali. Il meccanismo è noto e perfettamente naturale. Quando una depressione o una saccatura si posiziona a ovest dell’Italia, tra Atlantico, Spagna e Mediterraneo occidentale, e contemporaneamente il promontorio subtropicale risale verso il Mediterraneo centrale, si attiva un richiamo di correnti meridionali. In pratica l’aria si muove da sud verso nord, attraversa zone desertiche, solleva polveri sahariane e le trasporta verso l’Italia. Non servono provette o regie occulte. Serve vento, serve desert, serve una configurazione barica favorevole e serve aria calda che risale dal Nord Africa verso il Mediterraneo. È meteorologia di base, osservabile dai satelliti, prevista dai modelli e studiata da decenni. Se poi quelle polveri incontrano la pioggia, vengono trascinate al suolo e lasciano la classica “pioggia sporca” su vetri, balconi e carrozzerie. Cosa che accade da decenni. Capisco che il complotto abbia sempre un certo fascino narrativo però credetemi, comprate un atlante in libreria e scoprirete che il Sahara è vicino e quando il vento soffia nella direzione giusta ce lo ritroviamo nei nostri cieli. Non è chimica clandestina, è il Sahara che, ogni tanto, decide di fare una trasferta sul parabrezza. Il mio "pit stop" in ospedale è terminato, usando un gergo sportivo, ci vorranno un pò di giorni per tornare in forma ma la meteorologia è uno dei piu' grandi amori della mia vita e voi che mi seguite con affetto siete il miglior modo possibile per tornare in forma in poco tempo. #Sahara #Meteorologia #Geografia

Non dovremmo mai pensare: “sono arrabbiato” “sono depresso” “se no spaventato”, bensì: “sono attraversato dalla rabbia” “sono attraversato dalla depressione” “sono attraversato dalla paura”. Ciò che il nostro apparato psicofisico prova è una cosa, ciò che siamo in quanto essenza è un’altra. Questo non significa reprimerle, ma inquadrarle come fenomeni che ci attraversano. Ciò le rende meno potenti. #crescitaspirituale #salutementale #consapevolezza
