“Beyond the gate they roamed freely, the most beautiful and precious things of art and life—untouched, unforced, undistorted—yet so distant and difficult to approach. They were the things that revived the deep and purifying undercurrents of man, opened the windows of understanding and the locks of the heart.
‘Why are you there and I'm here?’ Homo creativus had asked on the other side of the gate, and felt a heartbreaking longing.”

Musical Sketching
In search of the essence and interpretation of a composition – a sketch of the mutual interaction between music and pulse.

In the challenging company of an escaping light and changing shadows
No sadness because of an artist
who knows how the world can be
happy in his wilderness
if someone him can see.

Back to school: A little Prelude in F Major by Chop… No, Bach – another great teacher!
A lesson on the pulse of life and joy:
1) Start the pulse of life that produces warmth and energy, by paying attention to the direction that gives meaning and the gestures that produce joy;
2) Feel and accept the charm of life given as a birth gift and the energizing impulses that flow from it;
3) Spurred on by energy impulses and undeterred, move towards essential milestones and destinations – with full justification;
4) Allow your life spirit flow forward with its own natural swirl by keeping the human core molten and solving possible uncertainties, contradictions and fears that freeze the movement and Alberti bass of life!
Happy Easter wishes!
