Now, to wait for Brazil.
To the Victor, the Spoils
Searching to see the game I missed between Spain and 'us,' I was wondering just how to feel about the results. A victorious USA should make me feel an unfettered sense of pride in my representative team, and yet the celebration is a bit spoiled by this year's investment in the fan pride of Spain and her riveting teams. The damage can be viewed herein...
Art is everywhere as I work on my Italian
My favorite classic diva sings in full regalia, which I can never hear enough. I found this record in Sevilla in a charming and well outfitted shop as a single with her love-lorn face beautifully photographed on the front. I didn't purchase it, and I have been kicking myself thusly for the past two weeks. Now freshly back in the States, I am reviewing some language skills including Italian and thought to start with a translation of this beloved song...
Tu amor mio
Chi ti ha amato in questo mondo, solo io
Io, invece io
Sono stata troppo amata
Ma noi due, amor mio
Che siam poco, insieme siamo un po' di pi.
Tu, tu sei tu
Pi qualcosa che ti arriva da lass.
Amor mio, amor mio
Per amico c' rimasto solo Dio.
Ma Lui, Lui lo sa e sorride
Lui ci guarda e sorride.
Amor mio, basto io
Grandi braccia e grandi mani avr per te
Stretto al mio seno freddo non avrai
No tu non tremerai, non tremerai.
Amor mio, basto io
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
No tu non tremerai
Al riparo del mio amore
Guarda sul mare
Il gabbiano leggero che va
(coro)vola felice e sereno paura non ha
Guarda quel bimbo che corre, guardagli il viso
Tanto felice che sembra sia in paradiso
Amore, adesso tu ridi, il fuoco si acceso
Amor mio, basto io
Grandi braccia e grandi mani avr per te
Stretto al mio seno freddo non avrai
No tu non tremerai, non tremerai.
Amor mio, basto io
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
No tu non tremerai
Non tremerai.
Chi ti ha amato in questo mondo, solo io
Io, invece io
Sono stata troppo amata
Ma noi due, amor mio
Che siam poco, insieme siamo un po' di pi.
Tu, tu sei tu
Pi qualcosa che ti arriva da lass.
Amor mio, amor mio
Per amico c' rimasto solo Dio.
Ma Lui, Lui lo sa e sorride
Lui ci guarda e sorride.
Amor mio, basto io
Grandi braccia e grandi mani avr per te
Stretto al mio seno freddo non avrai
No tu non tremerai, non tremerai.
Amor mio, basto io
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
No tu non tremerai
Al riparo del mio amore
Guarda sul mare
Il gabbiano leggero che va
(coro)vola felice e sereno paura non ha
Guarda quel bimbo che corre, guardagli il viso
Tanto felice che sembra sia in paradiso
Amore, adesso tu ridi, il fuoco si acceso
Amor mio, basto io
Grandi braccia e grandi mani avr per te
Stretto al mio seno freddo non avrai
No tu non tremerai, non tremerai.
Amor mio, basto io
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
No tu non tremerai
Non tremerai.

Up Again
I am always ups with thoughts when it is time to be quite and down for the count to dreamland. Tonight's distracting adventure involves the wide world of information on the internet as I shuffle through photography resources and drool over my favorite inspirations of ongoing and newly forged obsession like Eugenio Recuenco or Roland Bello. Thinking of all the ways I myself might navigate the stormy seas of artistic commercial success in this economic drought reminds me of a lovely quote from the provoking movie (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) I recently took the the time watch:
"Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss."
As I endeavor to seize what presents itself and forge as many opportunities as I can, I must also have faith that I am missing the ones I may not need as much as those that came to fruition or that I must try harder to be shaped by opportunities I create rather than forfeit. Well spoken, narrator and protagonist Pitt.
By the way, the ending images shown as an account of all the characters were lovely and enhanced in such a romantic way.
Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona 2-6 HIGHQUALITY HIGHLIGHTS
game highlights, delicious. better video to come.
A Shameless Imported Fan
A shameless fan of Casillas, the goalkeeper for Real Madrid, I have had been fortunate enough to access all futbol channels here. My, my, how can I not also save some admiration for the triumphant Barcelona. After watching their victory over Manchester, I was much the glad recipient of a recent match featuring RM and Barça. Such a silky way to move the ball, I would call it art...
loveliness and rest
Loveliness oscillates with quiet rest in this place and I drink in the harmonies and luminance of Sevilla. Meanwhile, I think of those dear whose eyes and hearts I would love to fill with what I encounter. Cheers to you; you know who you are ;)
