ieri camminavo mentre gli altri mangiavano la pastasciutta lo sentivo da dietro le case, come il rumore di posate sul piatto, oltre agli alberi le magnolie e i cancelli, c'era il sole, e forse riscaldava pure il profumo del pranzo fin ai marciapiedi dove passavo io

ero serena infreddolita serena, con la voglia di far andare le gambette nel pantalone della tuta, avvoltolata nella sciarpa e poi nella gran giacca e poi nella piccola giacca quelle a vento quelle che non fanno per me, solo scarpine di vernice nera grazie, poi crescendo ho capito che posso accettarle, quando è gennaio ed è freddo e allora cammino bene, come sono saggia come sono matura, mentre gli altro mangiano la pastasciutta

guardavo i rami spogli e gli ulivi e la luce sulle margherite che ci sono già e ci sono pure da un po', sparse in giro come punti di interesse nella grande mappa del prato, lungo la strada che porta alla campagna fuori città

dov'era la sofferenza, mi chiedevo allora, dov'è che soffro ora? perché soffro, come posso non soffrire, una settimana fa scoppiavo a piangere e ora sono in pace. come è possibile? risoffrirò, riscoppierò, ma ora ora, mentre cammino e mangiano la pastasciutta, quella col sugo che mamma preparava quando tornavo dal liceo affamata di chiacchiere nostre e pomodoro, ora ora dov'è quella sofferenza?

ho pensato al pianissimo degli spartiti, quel pp corsivo che a un certo punto devi alleggerire la tua manina sui tasti — piano, fai piano — e allora la sofferenza non è in pausa, non è pausa, non si dilegua, lei è pianissimo è pp è sottofondo, è docile dolce,

t'accompagna lo sguardo lungo i rami col riflesso glaciale del sole gennarino, lungo la terra che riposa, il pensiero di cenere, ecco che sale, e il pensiero di sugo, mamma che buono, dolore mancanza vivere gioire pace, tutto rimescolato, come una pentola con la sua ricetta, che gira gira col cucchiaio di legno e attende il tuo ritorno da scuola

Recorded sound, which artificially preserves the unpreservable, increases the likelihood of listening without hearing, since it can be listened to at home or in motion, thus allowing us to reduce music to background activity and eliminate the possibility of total concentration - i.e., thought. The moral responsibility for this rests entirely with the individual human being, who can determine whether a recording is a means of instruction, rendering the music more familiar through repetition - the equivalent of rereading a passage in a book - or simply a means of distraction in the sense of the music played by the band in Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain, to which the philosopher Settembrini says, “The human being, unfortunately, has a tendency to imbue objects with moral authority, so as not to take the responsibility himself. Is a knife an instrument with which one can commit murder - therefore an immoral instrument - or is it an instrument with which bread can be cut and a fellow human being fed - therefore an instrument of human generosity? It is the human being’s application of it that determines its moral qualities.”

- Daniel Barenboim, pianist, conductor, author and music director

This is in my head at almost all times

The tenor Miguel Fleta (1897-1938) was considered one of the best tenors in Spain. He was the calaf in the world premiere of Giacomo Puccini’s “Turandot” on April 25th, 1926 at the Scala di Milano and in demand worldwide. Here is an original program from May 31, 1925 in the Teatro Circo de Zaragoza, where he sang the Radames in “Aida”.

How about P?

P for Pianissimo from Love Gods!

She is part of a duo with her sister, Fortissimo. The two of them are assistants to Cynthia, the God of the peace and happiness that comes from dreams (dreams from sleep, daydreams, etc.) Cynthia spends most of her time in existence dreamwalking, which means Pianissimo and her sister are in charge of keeping watch over her waking form.

The two have the ability to speak through music, which they find to be more useful than their usual speaking voices, which are usually too quiet for anyone to hear them. Every step they take creates a disc for them to stand on, giving them the ability to skip up stairs they create through intention alone. Pianissimo's steps take the form of different phases of the moon.

Pianissimo is much quieter and softer than her counterpart, often letting the other speak for her when the two are addressed. While Fortissimo often makes the first move in an altercation, Pianissimo hangs back, taking her time. You do not want to be in her way when she finally decides on how she wants to confront you.

The Weekly Gravy #133

A little off-topic, but I got a poem published in the online magazine JAKE, which is pretty damn cool. You can read it here. A Thousand and One (2023) – **** In his films Shoplifters and Broker, director Hirokazu Kore-eda depicts surrogate families, showing how the human need for love and connection, and the need to care for one another, brings together people on the fringes of society, even in…
