CHE SI PUÓ FARE?
Have a case of the Mondays? Urban Dictionary defines “a case of the Mondays” as: A fictitious disorder associated with the tiredness, irritability or distractedness that comes from returning to work after the weekend.
I feel like Barbara Strozzi might have been having one when she penned this incredible song…
PASSAN VELOCI L'ORE
The opening lines of Antonio Bembo’s Passan veloci l’ore really rings true in the context of this seemingly never-ending pandemic:
The hours pass by quickly
and yet that time does not arrive….
A SPRIG OF THYME
On this New Year’s Day, a sprig of of thyme.
“…Thyme it is the prettiest thing,
And time it will grow on,
And time it'll bring all things to an end
And so does my time grow on…”
HAPPY THANKFUL
“To all who are celebrating it today, a very Happy Thanksgiving to you.
While I feel pretty mixed about this holiday, its history, and the mythologies that it pervades, I do think that there is much merit to having a day of gratitude in which we share a meal together. Perhaps now more than ever…”
