POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Questo autunno sa di casa. Quella casa che troviamo nei cuori delle persone che non hanno paura delle nostre ombre. Che ci prendono la mano e stanno lì, con noi, nella melma. Che ci riportano a terra quando ci perdiamo nella nostra mente piena di ansie e paure.

Questo autunno sa di suolo. Degli strati di terra profondi, nascosti dentro di noi. Quelli che la luce non illumina. Quelli che racchiudono il potenziale del cambiamento, della fertilità che porta alla rinascita.

L’autunno ci spoglia del superfluo. Ci chiede di aprire il cuore. A volte è talmente prepotente che ci sbatte in faccia proprio ciò da cui ci nascondevamo. E lì ci sentiamo sopraffatte dalla vita.
Ma ci ricorda anche che non siamo mai sole 🍂 e anche quando siamo nel punto più basso, se ci guardiamo intorno, possiamo trovare ovunque bellezza e piacere

Vienna, enchanted theater. Old friends enter stage left. There is solace in the phrase “knowing you.” Knowing you, you would like this novel. Knowing you, you should spend an entire afternoon at this museum. I point upwards, and Eliana and I pause in unison to observe a curtain dancing in the breeze. “What color has been important to you lately?” she asks. We buy ice cream right as it begins to rain.

Guided by 𝘉𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦’s improvisation, I avoid haste and plan less. I sleep in and prepare breakfast leisurely. Afternoons expire amid crowds of Klimt adulation—anchored near 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 and the rapture of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘒𝘪𝘴𝘴, dreamily gilded and deserving of infamy. In the Volksgarten, swathes of rosebushes bear names: beloveds. One tag reads, “per l’amore della mia vita.” In my pink notebook, I transcribe lines by Katie Ford: “I am content because before me looms the hope of love. / I do not have it; I do not yet have it. / It is a bird strong enough to lead me by the rope it bites.”

My dead phone propels me offmap. I enter a quiet church, and its caretaker spies me eventually. We have our roles to play: I stand below a painted Judith as he jangles a conspicuous set of keys. No English. He shakes his head dismissively. “Bitte,” I murmur, pale cable cradled in my hands, futile without a source. Please, a plea mouthing bitter. Linguistic fissures between islands of the known.

Apfelstrudel served cold. The clatter of horse hooves. At the Belvedere, I encounter the snowy Bruegel I once analyzed with my students and notice several of the Anni Albers textiles on display are replicas, not originals. Which is weightier: true materials or true pattern? The Schönbrunn gardens remind me of Versailles, each grandiose fountain surpassing the last.

What does bravery require? I write a poem from the perspective of a butterfly.
