“It’s really sort of a sore spot because we live in what I call an age of conformity, where you have to travel with the herd. If you don’t travel with the herd and if you don’t say yes to that little man who’s leading the pack, you’re branded as a rebel. I am trying desperately - I hope - to be an individual. I think there’s quite a bit of difference. Actually, I can’t stand them, they drive me out of my mind. The rebels. I see them at parties and they sit in corners looking terrible sensitive and introverted, and yet my feeling is they’re just as mediocre as the people they despise who are the conformists. Their answers are always pre-determined, the rebel always has to say no to everything society asks of him just as the conformist always has to say yes.” - Paul Newman, on being labelled a rebel

My favorite poet, Homero Manzi.
“A shadow stronger than death,
a scream lost in oblivion,
a step that comes back from ruin
a song torn to pieces
that still remains a song.
Afterwards…
forgetting will come or it won’t come
and I will lie so that I can laugh
and I will lie so that I can cry.”
Kabir translated by Robert Bly. From the second section “The Bhakti Path.” Thank you, sharanam.

I was researching different covers of “Amarras” and learning to listen to different layers of the piece. After jumping here and there, I was linked to this video.
Yes, we know Tete had a beautiful encounter with Pina but Tete himself was a legend. But he didn’t cease to amaze me how heavenly his dance was. They were like dancing on water or cloud. Silvia was smiling throughout the whole dance like a baby in her dream. Look at her dress swinging like summer breeze. They never fell apart gliding on the floor.
