sticks + stones

All these stones, all this sorrow, all this light, rubble of night hours and noon-dust, all the twisted pipework of sanctity, all the prophecies that – like old men – couldn’t hold it in, all the sweaty angels’ wings, all the stinking candles, all the prophetic tourism.

- Yehuda Amichai, from Songs of Zion the Beautiful.

Lately I get bored of my friends easily and I have an increasingly disgust for my family and my city. For the past few days I’ve been avoiding going out and I’ve spent most of my time alone at home trying to understand this book and fooling myself into thinking that maybe if I start running every morning or perhaps if I drink more glasses of water and eat vegetables everyday I might feel less old and frustrated but ironically, worrying about this kind things makes me feel the exact opposite way. I fear that I might have reached a new low in my life.

Hoping that before the end of March I’ll be able to regain my focus and in an attempt to clean the lazy vibes produced by my recent self-imposed hiatus, I’ll kick this week with some sort of tribal minimal playlist that I made last night while dozing off in the sofa after shower. They’re all slow burners with some nice undertones and masterful cutting and pasting of diverse kinds of organic drums and foreign chants.

Tell myself everything is sacred, remember to be thankful for what you’ve got.

    hang on there.. Judging with how you seem to feel, with some time things can only get better :)

    Thanks for the playlist, I was looking for something with that vibe but didn’t have a clue where to look. Motel moka to the rescue..

    cheers

    You deserve a big hug, Moka. If it weren’t for the ocean between us. I’m sure soon you’ll run into something or someone to cheer you up again. Sometimes we just need to rediscover ourselves before we can move on. Do you miss France?

    These tunes make me feel a bit old too though. Lol, I know next to nothing about this genre. :D

    Breaking news:
    You can take drinking lots of water to stay healthy and young off your list now, Moka!

    “People in hot, dry climates and athletes have an increased need for water, and people with certain diseases do better with increased fluid intake, they found. But for average healthy people, more water does not seem to mean better health, they said.”

    lol well, it doesn’t seem to hurt either, although I live in a hot, dry climate, so I suppose that excludes me from the average healthy people group.

    i know this is a late response but i know how you feel moka.. ive been trying to test the world out but it disgusts me too. the fact that we see that there is something wrong, makes us stronger than the rest somehow… <3

    the sun is coming out again.. relax underneath, listen to some good music and enjoy yrself.

The song makes its imprint
in the air, making itself felt,
a felt world. Here, there,
the stunned silence

of knowing I will not remember
what I heard;

futures that will never happen,
a fluidity we cannot achieve
except as a child
creating possibility.

This is the untranslatable song
hidden in the earth.
