Listening to comforting sounds.
Diego Mosquera. 31st of May 2021.
"One evening, an hour after the Sun had gone to rest, I was standing in the kitchen beside the refrigerator, listening to its comforting sounds. The ceiling lights hadn’t been switched on, so I was there in the semi-light coming from the hallway."
Hola,
The ability of Ishiguro to capture sublime moments amazes me every time. I'm writing this an hour after the sunset, listening to comforting music, in my living room by the dark. How many times do we find ourselves exactly like this? Of course not listening to the fridge but plain and static. Moments where consciousness is not with us, and we keep living... living by our surroundings.
We are making it to June! I'm looking forward to the summer and everything that comes with it. The BBQs, beach and lake trips, and tons of sun on my face!
By the way, I'm taking some holidays next weekend and I'm not planing to take my laptop with me. So, see you all again in two weeks!
Find here a list of things I found worth sharing from last week:
- Read. this article about the commodification of relationships and think about starting a subscription-based business by selling your amazing life!
- Listen. My friend Carlos Villamizar released his latest album on Spotify. As said before, I'm listening to his album while writing this.
- Feel."They call us now, before they drop the bombs. The phone rings and someone who knows my first name calls and says in perfect Arabic “This is David.” And in my stupor of sonic booms and glass-shattering symphonies still smashing around in my head I think, Do I know any Davids in Gaza? They call us now to say Run." Read Running Orders By Lena Khalaf Tuffaha.
- Cook. One of these recipes with watermelon!
- Enjoy. This thread of all sort of maps! I could spend a whole day checking each of them!
- Pay. Your "pizzo" (protection money - hahaha of course this happens in Naples😝) to your local gang and kneel to a bust of Emanuele Sibillo aka. Baby boss.
- Press. Every letter in your keyboard and experience this beautiful website.
- Aww♥️. Watch this lovely dog being a new parent!
Thanks for reading and have a nice week!
