Thoughts

annette focks - Cemetry

Bertarido/Rodelinda

Io t'abbraccio,
e più che morte, aspro e forte,
è pel cor mio questo addio,
che il tuo sen dal mio divide.
 
Ah mia vita, ah mio tesoro,
se non moro,
è più tiranno quell'affanno,
che dà morte, e non uccide.


I believe the publication of this track fulfils the criteria of 'fair use', for discussion and study.

Christopher Lowrey and Anna Dennis sing "Io t'abbraccio" from Händel's "Rodelinda"

Of Red

An astrophysicist who’s also explored her science by way of a novel about two pivotal 20th-century mathematicians, Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing. Both pushed at boundaries where mathematics presses on grand questions of meaning and purpose. Such questions helped create the technologies that are now changing our sense of what it means to be human.

A passionate translator of the beauty and relevance of scientific questions, Margaret Wertheim is also wise about the limits of science to tell the whole story of the human self. Her Institute for Figuring in Los Angeles reveals evocative, visceral connections between high mathematics, crochet and other folk arts, and our love of the planet.

The philosopher and Catholic social innovator Jean Vanier is a teacher of the wisdom of tenderness. The L’Arche movement, which he founded, centers around people with mental disabilities and is celebrating its 50th anniversary this month. We experience how Jean Vanier brings the most paradoxical religious teachings to life: that there’s power in humility, strength in weakness, and light in the darkness of human existence.

Often quoted, but rarely interviewed, Mary Oliver is one of our greatest and most beloved poets. She’s just released a new volume, Felicity, at the age of 80. And so we’re revisiting the interview she granted us earlier this year on the wisdom of the world, the salvation of poetry, and the life behind her writing.

All these worms
that inhabit me
are born in the core
exploding as radial spokes.

But in their confused state
are tangled by their tails,
mutating into a rotten stone.

I´m going to knit a bandage,
I´ll do that with that damn ball of worms
But I have to wait until their fatigue
that turns them into a soft ball of yarn.

this pulsating change
that bends the tautness
is the pattern of my pulse,
a deranged flickering

that thing strokes me
I can feel its soft
maddening turns,
scraping under my skin

I´m going to knit a bandage,
I´ll do that with that damn ball of worms
But I have to wait until their fatigue
that turns them into a soft ball of yarn.
