Music in the Air
Nona Rostagno
Nona is born in the Ukraine, but for political reasons her father left his country in 1943 to live somewhere else. They went to Brazil. The whole family got the Brazilian nationality. In Brazil Nona had the opportunity to study languages, music and specially art. Her first exhibition was in Germany, in Hamburg, in a Refugee Camp and she was only 5. Since then she never stopped drawing. Lately she discovered that teaching is marvelous as she is able to help many people emotionally.
The painting we see here is about a person that played near her studio. She didnt know him, but now they are friends. He plays for her, calling her…

SECRETS OF A RESTLESS MIND ~ POEM BY MONIQUE LUCY WEBERINK
All by myself absorbing the silence
Excluding the noise of my complicated life
I just like to sit here and be quiet for a while
Observing the incomprehensible world around me
Listen, carefully now, can you hear this stillness
Or is it just inside, inside my head
Millions of thoughts are circling around, if you listen well
You can hear them begging to find a way out
At moments I feel like being stuck in time
Except my thoughts chased up words spoken in riddles
My mind filled with complicated thoughts
Overwhelmed by anger and painful plots
Grimy faces all around me deep down in my inner self
A lifetime of stories filling up my bookshelf
What am I thinking of, why can’t I break this
Rolling down my face is a frozen teardrop
What happened to my uncomplicated youthful existence
Is it destroyed by the needs of an adult life.
This has to stop, it can no longer persist
It hurts me physically, creating unbearable pain
I am desperately looking for some peace of mind
But I have not been able to release myself
Thoughts are getting lost and not being found
Restless mind, unquiet times, and the simplicity of the soul
Distant, tired and exhausted
Simplicity, a lovely word to say…

ANAIS NIN ~ ON PERSONALITY
“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
