A quote of my journal
“Today, the 20th of October, while practicing my daily-8 to 10 klms’ walking ritual around the castle, down to Umbertide,( industrial zone, Tiber river, Abbazia Monte Corona, and more.. ) climbing up back to the castle, I felt as if I’m just starting to live this residency at this right moment!”
In other words? meaning that this month has passed too fast, so that it felt too short, meaning that it took me such a while to just settle down, unload my bagages and breath, with a very long ‘ea’..
I’ve met a wonderful group of talented creators, writers, musicians, painters and sculptors, selected as fellows for this period or season.
Ali,
Asti, Anuk,
Bahar, Cathie, Diane,
Daniel, Earl, Frances, Kathie,
Mary, Bobbie and Franck, wonderful people and spirits.
So lucky have we been, gathered together by such a light web of spontaneous harmony and at such ease. And lucky, in the sense where we all had to spend quite some time together, and to share many activities: that’s when Harmony is for sure indispensable!
I must say sometimes I was overwhelmed by this ‘collective style of life’, and was missing some personal quiet and silent moments, still there was enough time to grab such occasions!
Surrounded and pampered by such a wonderful, tender, aimable passionate and professional team – an element that renders life so soft, needless to say :
Dana, Diego, Juliette, Ilaria, Greta
Careful, oh yes careful! The challenge : how to maintain your Gastronomic habits and manners vis a vis the delicious creations of :
Romana, Patricia and Patricia….
Nobody wished me good luck.
Today, the 26th of October, I wake up in my little studio in Paris, and I feel light!
I want to thank everyone at the Civitella foundation, thank you for your passion and devotion to arts and to artists, we need people like you!
