Like the people who have to want to stop drinking and must make the decision themselves, or the people I know now who are going to have to decide, themselves, to learn to use certain software (or not), I feel I must decide to want to improve my experience at and of work. I always … More You have to want…
That was the really important thing I heard. Also, unmanageable situations cannot simply be managed. To write you must have a manageable situation and you must not have renounced your core. No amount of discipline or control or “passion” can substitute these things. You have to have a clear mind, and you cannot have had … More “Don’t give up your core”
I am still thinking about these posts on motivation. What do you need to move forward? Not technique by this time, or interest in project — technique helps and some level of interest is needed, but the fundamental need is peace of mind. You need a clear head. You need to be comfortable enough. You … More A clear mind
I would like to see this exhibit and this one, described here. In the future I will do such things. We learned very well how to limit and hobble ourselves but we are again unlearning, unlearning more. #OccupyHE Axé.
To write you do not in fact have to “be passionate” or some such thing and in fact I prefer not to be — I greatly prefer calm. I think that the idea that “if you were interested enough, you would overcome anything” is a version of the artist-in-a-garret ideal. You have to feel well … More Un aliado

Using all my resources to attack and destroy the person I had been while still attempting to function as that person, as was required. … More Últimas tardes con Teresa
To write one needs money and a room of one’s own, it is said, but I say one needs access to self, a clean and well lit space (or an otherwise adequately comfortable one), and peace of mind. Without these things no methodologies apply — even those which do otherwise, like Archambeau’s. Today’s reading indicates … More Virginia Woolf
…still tired of being that person who withdrew from life because of being told she did not deserve it or was not qualified for it. Withdrawing from a career was one thing, but I had wanted to move on. It is so strange that we are held to decisions we made at 20. I would … More Retraite
Some of the things thought and said recently — “They had to hide their mental illness from the children because if they had admitted to it, they would have become responsible for it.” My dream about the mice and the falcons, Frida Kahlo’s house and El Escorial. A dream that seemed to be an oblique … More Lua nova
Here we have some interesting information about the composer in question, background on the film, and so on. Axé.
