Di gatti, ne ho conosciuti tanti fin da piccolo, e di tutti i tipi, ma un GATTO SOMMELIER che si ubriaca, ancora, mi mancava!

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die!

Se potessi vivere un’altra vita.
***
Se io potessi rivivere la mia vita
nella prossima cercherei di commettere più errori,
giocherei più volte nella mia strada
e sarei più sciocca di quello che sono stata
Non cercherei di essere tanto precisa
e piuttosto decisa,
prenderei la vita più allegramente,
e sarei meno accondiscendente.
Se io potessi vivere nuovamente la mia vita
danzerei sui prati a piedi nudi
farei acrobazie con le cicale e le farfalle,
intonerei insieme a loro, un coro con le stelle,
mi allieterei dei ronzii d'ali e brusii di fronde,
praticherei lo Yoga Itinerante
e mi rifocillerei l'anima delle intense fragranze
dei boschi profumati di lavanda
Se io potessi vivere un’altra vita,
viaggerei più spesso con lo zaino sulle spalle,
mi arrampicherei sui monti
per goderne le albe e i tramonti.
Respirerei la salsedine degli oceani
tra le urla dei gabbiani,
tra le vele gonfie di vento
e la pelle bianca di sale.
Se io vivessi una seconda vita mi darei più tempo,
perché lui è avaro, ti da solo il fabbisogno
se lo dispendi, non ti restituisce nulla,
resta muto e continua col suo possente tic-toc
a digerire secondi, minuti, ore, mesi e anni..
Poi, un bel giorno, capisci che ne hai sprecato tanto,
stai per arrivare al tramonto
senza rendertene conto!

The Schorr Collection
The treatment of the theme of the Penitent Magdalen, although common in 17th c. art, is unusual in this instance, as she is shown still in her rich attire, but holding Christ’s Crown of Thorns. The scriptures in her hand also indicate that she is at the point of penitence. (SC)
