Seasons



It's Autumn,
Where the sun is in the leaves!
Nature really planned it well, all this season thing, 
as after the buzzing summer, all we need is a cosy nest.



During these early dark nights,
I have been reflecting on seasons.
How even in the day, there are seasons:
have you noticed how the colours turn up the volume in the morning, 
together with sounds,
and around sunset, all seems to take a rest?



So I think even Creativity has seasons,
and the productivity world fits it a bit tight.
Recently I struggled keeping up with client work,
because my Most inner nature wanted to rest, incubate, research,
all the things that animals do too, when the cold season comes.



I realized that being an artist is a wider thing than 
creating things, it is a way of life. 
Our brain works always like a building with many floors connected, 
it cooks together things that they don't seem to belong.

But if we don't allow experiences to happen, and just keep working away,
we dry out.


One of the things I realized, 
is that I was missing a part of me that lives in
Italian language.
My brain, when talking my first language,
takes different path, panoramic ones, poetic ones,
funny ones..
I kind of lost this part of myself living in the Uk, and talking all the
time its pragmatic language.

I loved taking pictures, too.
Sewing imperfect stuff.
Writing Poetry.


All of this I share now on my personal 
Instagram account, Quellefoglie


It's in Italian!

Now, update about work:
I have been so happy to collaborate with Harp on Wight Festival
for the 2019 edition


And a preview of 2020 just for you!


I hope to write again soon before the snow fills up my letterbox!
