Oggi, Martedì 22 Marzo, ricorre la 𝗚𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗹’𝗔𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗮 (𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆)

💧 Oggi, Martedì 22 Marzo, ricorre la 𝗚𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗹’𝗔𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗮 (𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆).
Tale ricorrenza è stata istituita dalle Nazioni Unite nell’ormai lontano 1992, essendo stata prevista nell’ambito delle direttive dell’agenda 21 a seguito della Conferenza di Rio.
Annualmente, ogni 22 Marzo, gli Stati facenti parte dell’Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite sono invitati a promuovere l’Acqua tramite azioni concrete nei propri rispettivi Paesi. 🌊 🌊 🌊

Tra le altre cose va ricordato che l’acqua rappresenta il protagonista del sesto dei diciassette Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile - OSS (Sustainable Development Goals - SSG) - dell’ONU consistente nel “Garantire acqua pulita e servizi igienico sanitari” nell’ambito appunto dello Sviluppo sostenibile e delle tematiche ESG quale obiettivo globale stabilito dall’Agenda 2030 delle Nazioni Unite.

💧 Quale tributo a questo elemento così prezioso e fondamentale per la vita, nella giornata che lo celebra a livello mondiale, riporto il seguente efficace, bel passo in cui mi sono imbattuto proprio in questi giorni leggendo l’interessante saggio di Giorgio Nardone e Stefano Bartoli: “𝗢𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲́ 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶 – 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗮 𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲”, opera snella ed efficace nel trasmettere concetti e nozioni vere e profonde.

Il concetto seguente che richiama l’analogia con l’acqua non è di certo nuovo essendo proprio specialmente della saggezza e dell’esperienza orientale ed è riportato anche in numerosi testi. Coincidenza vuole che questi bei passi li abbia letti proprio a ridosso della ricorrenza odierna e il testo in questione ritengo meriti un richiamo e una citazione. 🌊 🌊 🌊
💦 💦 💦

💧 “L’antica saggezza cinese del taoismo indica, sulla base della attenta osservazione dei fenomeni naturali, come il flessibile vinca sul rigido e il morbido sul duro, prendendo a modello l’acqua che trionfa su tutto perché si conforma a ogni cosa. L’acqua è l’unico elemento che in natura è capace di cambiare il suo stato adattandosi alle circostanze: si fa dura ghiacciandosi, si rende gassosa scaldandosi, è fluida in condizioni normali. Può essere calma e placida, irruenta e rapida, cascata impetuosa o onda travolgente. Può essere bollente o gelata, salata o dolce, benefica o velenosa. Per questo è considerata l’elemento naturale più potente.” (G. Nardone, S. Bartoli, 2019)

ll libro da cui è tratto questo passo è focalizzato sull’arte della performance personale e quale migliore immagine e modello metaforico di riferimento rispetto all’acqua, la quale essa stessa si rivela un elemento dalle superlative, straordinarie, uniche abilità performanti!?
