Krožnice večglasnih tišin / Circles of polyphonic silences

Jesen tudi letos prevrača salte, obrača liste - med obrati nastaja veliko stvari. Dnevne svetlobe za prava barvna razmerja je vse manj in veselim se že dneva nekega drugega obrata, sončevega, ko se bodo sončni žarki začeli daljšati. 
V kroženju obratov niso le letni časi. Veliko glasov poje. Šepeta. Tudi molči. Med njimi je pesniška zbirka, prva po vrsti (zaenkrat je še prezgodaj reči, ali tudi zadnja), ki sem jo med ljudi pospremila z ilustracijami. Z videnjem se začne. Podoba je pred besedo.

Drevo in sonce / A tree and the sun

"Malo prej me je presenetila mlada žena z navdušenim klicem, da sta včeraj odvila darilo in da je slika čudovita! Spominja jo na neke mehke ilustracije iz ene knjižice, ki jo je imela v otroštvu ..." Prijateljičina novica me je prekucnila v veselje, blagorajanje. Slika je tista, ki jo je naročila in poklonila svojima svežeporočenima prijateljema. Ko izveš, da je slika nekomu tako zadihala v nov razširjeni prostor (baje svetel, zelo svetel!), se zasveti tudi tebi; pravijo, da nekje pri srcu, čeprav ne vem, ali je tisto res (samo) srce. In tisto drevo - raste naj, tam(taram).

Mehkost.
Gentleness.

When there weren't so many everyday yellows and reds yet, but blues and greens and turquoises, when there was almost no sun but rain drops and cold summer skies, something has quietly grown for those two. The sun has grown and a tree has shone. And a bird, this one couldn't be missed, the singing messenger, the singing companion. This wedding gift that a friend of mine has given to her friends came to its home when there was fire in the fireplace already. And more yellows and reds around. The tree has still been growing high ...

Hope's Beautiful Daughters

Novo sodelovanje z glasbenikoma Katarino Juvančič in Dejanom Lapanjo, krasno novo druženje, veselje upodabljanja, potapljanja v zvoke in v zgodbe za njimi. Koluta-poganjalca, ki (naj) se nikdar ne ustavita, sta tisti kroglici, ki ju nosimo v svoji dlani - zame nista drugega kot rdeči -, ki ju čuvamo, grejemo na soncu, z njima sonce prižigamo. Posredno je album zakuhal Avguštin: "Upanje ima dve čudoviti hčerki," je rekel, in bilo je dovolj. "Njuni imeni sta jeza in pogum; jeza zaradi stanja stvari in pogum videti, da naj ne ostanejo, kakršne so."
Novemu izjemnemu albumu sem likovno primaknila zunanjo in notranjo stran ovitka, podobo knjižice in ploščka ter risano-pisane črke.

A new album by singers-songwriters Katarina Juvančič and Dejan Lapanja (who invited some prominent Scottish musicians and storytellers to collaborate at the project) started with two little red marbles in a hand, two entities which became a dynamism and a forever spinning life force of movements and change. Anger and courage are their names, according to Augustine of Hippo, and they were the initial idea that brought Hope's Beautiful Daughters to life. "Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are."

Rosa Luxemburg is one of the protagonists in the album, and her are the words which have accompanied me long after this work ... "I am at home in the entire world, where there are clouds and birds and human tears. (...) In spite of the snow and frost and loneliness, we believe - the titmice and I - in the coming of spring! And if out of impatience I don't live through it, then don't forget that on my gravestone nothing is to appear except that  t s v e e - t s v e e ..."
