Plunging into darkness, you look for a lifeline. I came forth from the mental hospitals fighting; drugged and almost committed for life. Flashbacks and putting the pieces together, memories unearthed. Unwanted are the memories, yet they come, crying out to God to not be forgotten. The mental system is designed to lock one in without recourse. And then comes the realization that to be alive is to breathe the air without restraint. To know that after the journey of waiting, my truth has set me free. I am Hilary Nili, and I survived.

This audiobook is a poetic account of my experiences in the journey of finding and getting to know who I am with Jesus in my heart.

Tre le sezioni di questo testo, in cui la prima si fa antefatto delle due successive: "Quel mio ritornare a te / da tutte le strade / per sottrarci da tanta morte". Fra le pagine una mappatura dell'anima che è luogo e memoria - "Ti tengo / nell'entroterra dell'anima / in un respiro di due sillabe", la vita come frattura in fiore su un muro: "la conseguenza del mattino / uno schianto in due tempi", e ovunque il frammento dell'esperienza restituito in trama: "nulla sappiamo della mano / che ci regge il giorno / a tremare / fra la memoria e la sete".

"Di stanze vuote" è una silloge di venticinque componimenti e aforismi dell'autore. Il titolo "Di stanze vuote" sembra un voluto gioco di parole: leggendo a voce alta può infatti diventare "Distanze vuote". Sono spazi vuoti lasciati dai momenti difficili nei percorsi umani, là dove non c'è una fede a sostenerli. Sarebbero eterne stanze vuote tutte le vicende della vita e tutti gli stati d'animo delle persone se non ci fosse qualcosa a dare un senso a tutto quello che ci circonda. È una metafora ampia e ricca di sfumature, che a sua volta il lettore può riempire con la propria visione delle cose.
