The path that leads to philosophy is not necessarily paved with abstruse concepts and hermetic discourses. Philosophical questions can arise from everyday conversations, gestures or actions we do every day, from familiar relationships we have with our friends, from observations of the landscape animated by natural beings and living beings, from reading a novel, of course, from a newspaper even, if not a fashion magazine. It has often been said: to philosophy, we are called by our astonishment and wonder, by what takes the mind by surprise, by a "strangeness" that forces it to open up and question.

The sounds of the world
Admittedly, some patience is necessary, as our thoughts are sometimes lazy and prefer not to stray too far from what they already know – when they are not content to express themselves in a few tweets. But this patience is rewarded only if something like "courage" comes to give the strength to rush not towards the unknown, but towards what is "other", towards what transforms ready-made ideas into ideas to be done, to be patiently built. What's in it for you? Well, the pleasure of making oneself available to "what is coming", the pleasure of being able to listen to music whose existence we did not suspect, to hear the tremors of being, the rustles of nature, the noises of the world.
