These are the inhalations~exhalations of one atelierista engaged in a daily turn about, an ongoing conversation, a line of flight that casts pebbles into ripples and tacks between the lived events of reggio emilia's pedagogy of listening as a world view of communities in collaboration whenever certainties are questioned and a way of becoming-allthings deleuzoguattarian through the visible trace of this expression. Without listening, one cannot let go.

noting the file name and the work, the 'me' in teh backgrond doesn't appear to be terribly happy ... is that a correct illustration of this piece?
yes...its not a recent piece
but it (was supposed to) allude to the notion that someone can be physically present but not really there...near and far...(I posted it because you said that you wanted to see some of these, but some of them are a bit self indulgent)
yes, these are things that I want to see ... and this is an interesting image, independent of its age; curiously, the idea of being or feeling far came up this evening, how it's possible to feel more alone while in a 'couple' than it is while alone ... a different sort of solitude, tangential to this image, but revelant in the sense that one can be both [close and far]
feeling alone in a crowd of two...I understand what that is like...not being able to reach someone despite proximity..if/when someone returns, however, 'it' is a gift
...you said it came up this evening, [feeling more alone while in a 'couple' than it is while alone]...assuming you have personal experience with this?
in passing, it came up ... secondary to relationships and life and why people do things, in a general sense ... reasons for love and fulfillment, how difficult it is to find someone both emotionally and intellectually compatible, not to mention physically appealling, but that the physical can be overlooked while some compromise on the emotional, en lieu of the intellectual, or the intellectual en lieu of the emotional, but ultimately end up unhappy for lack of the other ...
yes, it is not so easy
but you write of many (good) relationships
I have recalled what I've wanted to recall, mindful that 'even sunshine burns if you get too much'
and it becomes part of your self portrait
yes, an 'artist's' rendition of self, I suppose ...
and on a more than slight tangent, how did you come to know so many languages I wonder
yes, that is more than a slight tangent, which I'll indulge tomorrow, when I am more coherent ..., as I can only imagine that you might be as well, given the hour ...
to answer your question, then ... those that I speak, I either studied or studied in, having lived in and among native speakers ... others of which I have only notions, I either studied and acquired, or acquired notions of through friends and acquaintances etc
not so voodoo ...
just a great facility for language(s)
languge as an area of academic study?...I might have first guessed anthropology or architecture...later thinking, no, perhaps an applied social science, something related to [foreign policy and nuclear proliferation]...I wonder
[as an area of academic study?...] not at all, just something to supplement me, french being the (working) language of study, the other topics of which simply feed the mind and all of which, though interesting, are outside of my industry and 'background'.
banking/finance
unwrapping presents slowly is not at all unpleasant...
an education en francais and spanish just picked up along the line of your travels?
ah...I might not have guessed that, given how you write...but that area would also give you reason to find work-related travel, if that is what you desire
I meant to say, unwrapping the present...
[picked up along the line of your travels?] ... no, French I studied and spoke (albeit poorly) as a child, after which I lived (and studied) many years among francophones ... Spanish, I'd studied as a teen and used increasingly regularly with time, and 'perfected' while living in Spain ... German as a practical matter I studied academically in a structured environment and acquired etc etc
like you, in certain respects, my interests are varied, taking me in different directions, and I am autodidactic, if only for myself
[I meant to say, unwrapping the present...] and yet both make sense ...
[to find work-related travel] ... or just work.
and, you're currently two questions 'in debt', given the prolific give and take that has just occured; a mental note has been made.
yes, both do make sense...
presuming you are originally (North) American, that your french is not quebecois, was french a familial language spoken at home, or learned at school..I also studied a little french and german but without a place to practice it, to make language live, have not developed either very much...so it is 4 you speak? or perhaps it is not something ot be measured...as they spill into one another
I like the word audodidactic, renaissance man, divergent thinker perhaps
and I just discovered this...
[two questions 'in debt']
[spoken at home, or learned at school..] a little of both, in that we began early in school and also for a time had a live-in french 'tuteur' cum grad student/opera singer who'd teach us etc, in exchange for room and board.
me, I'm not too sure about your background ... references to 'da' and russians and something scottish and (another) canadian thanksgiving and blue moon ..., fog from the lake, knowing that the region among the great lakes is super-interesting, but that reading through the lines of a poeticized life is, at best, difficult to piece together ...
and this is not a question so much as a commentary - and the count is 3, now.
had I known the rules, I might have weighed my questions differently...although I suspect not...but now, how the anxious trepidation of awaiting your collection looms large...already 3 in debt and still so much more to learn
I'm not certain that there are actually rules, but it's fun to imply that there are ...
good because I was just recalling that open book and thinking "loop hole" ... (she said with a smile)
yes, yes ... open book, otherwise, what's the point? ...
and groundhog day is a little passe, too ...
[and groundhog day is a little passe, too ..]
can you explain?
although some things are timeless
'groundhog day' as being the endless loop, time out out of place and irreal, how I have more pleasure checking into a virtual world, as my reality checks in with an different time-zoned reality ...
