THE Venting Expat: February 2009
http://the-venting-expat.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2009. When you go through the winter of words, read RUMI. Today, like every other day, we wake up empty. And frightened. Don’t open the door to the study. And begin reading. Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundred ways to kneel and kiss the ground. Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,. There is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass,. The world is too full to talk about. View my complete profile.

THE Venting Expat: Absences
http://the-venting-expat.blogspot.com/2012/02/absences.html
Monday, February 27, 2012. When absences define you. Between leaving and arriving. Between closing and beginning. Between letting go and holding on. Between forgetting and remembering. When you need no language to express. Taste of grandma’s apple cake. Lavender sunsets sipping glass of red. White cat Black cat shadow play. Midnight opera explosions of joy. When you try to capture images. Motorino red in the blue of Greece. Roses arranged in the cold November drizzle. Monday, February 27, 2012.

Alanis lullabied my early 20s in New York City, what seems like ages ago… Then I dreamed of having the proverbial room of my own with books everywhere.

THE Venting Expat: it's a fine samba romance
http://the-venting-expat.blogspot.com/2010/03/its-fine-samba-romance.html
Friday, March 05, 2010. It's a fine samba romance. So here I am listening to Billy Holiday "Fine Romance".what a bold, beautiful song. I tried to dance to the old Broadway tunes. Tried to remember how it carries my feet, so different to my inner sambas. More stiff, the rhythm is there, steps go fast, yet the body stays firm. And then inner dramatic last pose at the end note of the musical number. That's why all my love of cabaret is replaced with that samba hip swing. More suave. More understated.

THE Venting Expat: October 2007

Thursday, October 04, 2007. Roma - La Cità delle Donne! So it is in Tre Scallini where we often meet. Probably the best addition to the oh so "BOBO" (Borgouise - Bohemian) Monti quarters. I can just hear Lynda lecturing me that Monti still lives in its antique tradition of small fruit vendors and proper working girls behind the facade of Soho styled boutiques and Chinese dry cleaning.

THE Venting Expat: February 2010
http://the-venting-expat.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 12, 2010. Gracias Sevilla.(love letter). I walked and I biked in the rhythm of your streets. I met you when I needed to get over old relationships. You helped me get over my suadade for Brazil. Reminded of passion for life. You seduced me with the drama of your poetry. You thought me how to listen to dance. How to dance in my thoughts. Without forever samba on ipod. With Lorca’s meditative words. 8220;Sevilla es una torre. Llena de arqueros finos. Una ciudad que acecha. Saeta de su río.
