He kinda, sorta stood me up

This morning I almost had a serious car accident because I was distracted thinking about last night. I woke up several times in the middle of the night, I tossed and turned, and all I could think was: how come?

Tolstoy was a fascinating man.

I've bought art supplies on Thursday and also fabric. I plan on starting on my creations very soon. I have no idea on how to start, though. Isn't that great? I have zero sewing abilities and no sewing machine.

Thursday night I felt like I would never get to my destination. A 20-minute road trip turned into a 1 and 1/2-hour drive.

I don't like when I don't know where things are going. It is even worse when no action is taken and I hear excuses. Old, lame excuses.

I am so tired. Henry David Thoureau wrote: If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost. That is where they should be. Now put foundations under them. I'd say: don't bother puting foundation under them, don't be stupid. Those castles are just meant to be a product of your imagination. Don't try to transform the nature of things. They're castles in the air for some reason (yet to be discovered?).

Tango: Finding harmony/balance between a couple is possibly one of the hardest achievement and yet one of the most beautiful and inspiring challenges one can face. Is it possible to achieve harmony dancing tango? Is it possible to admire tango dancers who dance together equally? Is that a goal possible to achieve or just a remote or not even relevant dream? Precision in tango is, among other equally important things, contributing to reach equilibrium by both partners. When both partners give fifty percent and create a unique and beautiful universe and both of them shine equally then tango becomes pure energy and it can touch and inspire any soul.

I miss you already, Mr. D.

To Someone

The architecture of the city is plural and restless. Your voice comes and goes. The sky was pale blue today. White here and there. Clouds. Whispers.  Our dialog is more vivid now. I still see how intense your eyes are. You come and go from me. But I know you never really leave. At least, that is the illusion that keeps me - going? I see patterns. They make sense. Like you made sense a while ago. I can't reason with Love, can I? Love, this palpable, irrational measurement of attachment and desire.  I don't know if you are the same anymore. The same I knew.  Did I ever know you? It doesn't matter because you fit like a symptom fits a disease. You fit my fantasy. My fantasy was so concrete and so tangible. I play us in my head. If I had. If you had. But history doesn't rewrite itself.  I can't walk down the street to try and find you.   Unchanged sea. Under the same sheltering sky. I love you.

Writing

Unresolved pain. Nostalgia. Fire. Vivid dreams at night. Immense love.  I read the other day something an old friend once told me. Go back to what you were good at when you were a child. That's where your natural talent is. I go back, and so many things come up. So many interests. Infinite curiosity. I loved words when I was a child. But I also loved animals and nature. I also loved music and poetry. The beach made me go without sleep. I also loved to dance. I remember attracting people's comments while dancing at parties. Not because I was good but because I did my own thing.  I also liked cooking and baking from an early age. Books were also my private world.  But who am I now, forty years later?  I listen to Riccardo Cocciante, and my heart fills with raw emotion. How can someone be so good and write the most beautiful songs? I need to understand Italian better, but what I know and feel with his songs is beyond anything material.  The power of art has to move...

Letting you go

Sunday Afternoon by Rachael Yamagata. I know it's the right thing to do, but the right thing to do hurts like crazy. I see your presence in my apartment. I see ghosts of you. Messages that I don't want to read. It hit me hard this time. Tuesday morning, I am sitting by the window. It rains. I feel guilty and the wind blows slowly drops of blood. Maybe that's a sign. Someone said: if you like him that much, fight for him. I fought for you. I had you in my hands. I gave you so many opportunities. I gave you so much more than you deserved. It's getting cold. You slapped my face. I cried in your arms. I cried myself to sleep. I couldn't talk anymore. My projects are on hold. I can barely work. I write and I write and the pain doesn't go away.
