Dance Me to the End of Love

I rarely traveled to London, but always by train from Paris. And, each time, on my return, after an identical ceremony, I fall in love with Paris again.

ore de drum

Fontevraud, 2015

La Londra am călătorit rar, însă totdeauna cu trenul de la Paris. Și, de fiecare dată, la întoarcere, după un ceremonial identic, mă reîndrăgostesc de Paris.

În acea vară, după un popas de numai câteva zile, am plecat spre răcoroasa Aquitaine.

Aliénor d’Aquitaine, când s-a îndrăgostit fulgerător de Henric II Plantagenêt, ducele de Anjou cu vreo zece ani mai tânăr decât ea, a fugit din Paris și de la soțul ei, respectabilul rege al Franței, cât a văzut cu ochii.

Spre vest, spre meleagul angevin, apoi în Anglia unde, în anul 1154, noul ei soț a ajuns rege. Și ea din nou regină, pentru a doua oară, dar, de această dată, a unui teritoriu întins.

Este una dintre poveștile mele de dragoste preferate, până la un punct. Le cunosc în detaliu peripețiile, confruntarea cu mentalitățile potrivnice, anturajul, strategiile politice, demonii.

Au făcut asiduu naveta între Franța și Anglia…

Albreht Direr,moć ruke i uma – Albrecht Dürer,the power of hand and mind — Myrela

Jedan veliki crtač i učitelj evropskih crtača kroz vijekove, jedan sjevernjak, Albreht Direr (1471-1528), pojavljuje se kao veliki crtački svetionik u svom i drugim vremenima. Jaka koncentracija, preciznost od koje možeš da se uplašiš, izdržljivost, sistematičnost, ali i logika ukrašena sa plemenitošću, i naravno, upornost – opisuje jednog Nijemca. Jednog, čije drvo božanski stoji u […]

One Texas parent finds herself in the middle of a fight over masks | The Texas Tribune (Me: fighting stupid public decisions in Texas)

Lead image for this article Olivia Weisinger, never a particularly political person, found herself outside the Comal Independent School District board meeting in New Braunfels late last month, rallying parents, students and teachers to voice their anger over the school board’s decision to eliminate the district’s mask mandate. “I’ve never done any of this,” Weisinger said in a quiet voice with a tired edge. Before the pandemic, her eldest was happily enrolled in a Comal ISD elementary school, with three younger siblings in line behind him. Now, after a long year at odds with the district over its handling of COVID-19 policies for its 25,000 students, she’s home-schooling her son while filing grievances with the Texas Education Agency, organizing protests and making videos challenging board members’ statements.
