Commiato

palma's paper filling fast
with silvered lines
in layered tones and tomes,
her graphite trek
"...like those tumuli to which each new traveler adds a stone."
as she is giving mirth
to every scissored self event
proclaiming
"I am drawing all the answers to your questions."

palma densities:
polka dot potentials
pack the punch,
planonmenon of hope
her sacred source,
a thousand planes conjoining
into many laughing buddhas
bequeathing traditions of revolt
as artists-incognito fly up the years
through zones of neverfailinglight
as palmadensables becoming-imperceptible
shift tectonic indiscernables
into hospitalities
that greet and meet one
in the middle of its markings
from the distance of a flight
like Turner's coloured streamsoflight
to capture conjured couplings
with redundancies reduced
by sensibilities of self
and spill chaotic compositions
into equanimities contained
within the opus-ended-shadows
of an aria that prays the play
of just one hand
to compliment another
trailing
lines
of
questions
drawn
across
the
stones
they
leave
behind


l'ádozione delle idee

"...that many things can be affected by one's cultural
heritage, by theories and experience, by literature, art
and economics, by scientific research and technology.
But many things are also born of intuition, taste, ethics,
the choice of values, of reasons and opportunities, that
in part we can control and in part we cannot control, and
that are suggested only to a certain extent by the job of
living itself.

Yet even in this constellation hovering between theories
and practices, that are both stable and unstable, necessary,
possible, and even accidental, and between the variations,
imbalances and even adversities of social policies, there is
plenty of margin and freedom for us to use our intelligence,
passion and creativity. So despite everything, it is
permissible to think that creativity, or rather knowledge and
the wonder of knowledge (our most important right, which so
often goes unrecognized) can serve as the strong point of our
work. It is thus our continuing hope that creativity will
become a normal travelling companion..." (Loris Malaguzzi)
