First Time Masterbatting

38 gradi all'ombra

take a twig of insanity
piantatevelo and eyes.

What Do Red License Plates Mean Canada

"nessuno è ordinario" parola di Alice

Dear friends, I thank you all for your words of affection . Move me. During this time the feelings alternate and overlap and one chases the other. The confusion of my heart is big. In moments of discouragement I feel a strong need to communicate but I promise that I will partecipi anche dei momenti di speranza. Sulla speranza in questi giorni ho riflettuto molto. Sono ammirata da questo straordinario meccanismo psichico che ci dà la forza di affrontare le difficoltà.



Ho iniziato questa giornata già piuttosto stanca perché ho passato quasi tutta la notte a leggere. Alice Munro, Il sogno di mia madre. Sono otto racconti lunghi, scritti magistralmente. Tutte le storie sono in un certo senso incompiute e si lasciano dietro un punto di domanda. Suggeriscono l'idea che ogni vita è incompiuta ma anche quella che in ogni momento ci può essere una svolta e che questa è preparata da segni quasi impercettibili. Ma Alice Munro li percepisce e ce li warn ago. Moreover, wrote that his purpose in writing is able to "make the reader attend to something extraordinary, but not for what happens to as it happens." It's like you are interested because it's like that makes extraordinary life, even the most ordinary. Why, we are told Munro, "ordinary life is anything but ordinary."
Good day to all of us.

conservazione

There are circumstances in which all desires are extinguished, all the fantasies, dreams, ambitions, passions, dreams and so on and so forth, just fall over themselves dull, dull, dull as that, absent. It is only the desire for preservation of their reality. The one, the only thing you want, and that even remembers we ever wanted, is that you keep everything as is. With its inconsistencies, its disappointments, its dissatisfaction with the problems and difficulties and the anger and tears, and the melancholy and pain present even. And this seems to be able to support ever provided that it comes another.
All our energy is concentrated only in retaining our present reality, as it is, exactly as it is. It does not matter how difficult or hard or scary or lamenting it be. What you want is just hang in there, it remains that we face to remain as is. We feel we are able to tolerate if not forever comes another, more frightening reality. Incredible what can withdraw our desires, like a cloth wrung out in water too hot, too, shrink, shrink and shrink, tighten the essentials: everything stops, and so here. And all our energies are only conservative, because the store is something that first of all our genes have learned and bring him in writing. Any horizon loses its charm, least attractive, flavor, color and odor. The brightest of days to come appreciate it. Store is the only cry that emanates from our being. Keep this, protect, defend, shield him with his body. And if we look at those constellations that until recently called our desires, we see the cold and distant in the darkness of our borders without fear of our lives and the sky has only one friendly star: today exhausting, exhausted, but difficult known that we gather in the chest.
