“I do not wish to talk about myself because I hold very deeply the belief that what is important is the work, not the person.”

The Awakening at Medium.com
The Awakening by Iulia Halatz
medium.com/@iuliahalatz
The song dreams along
with the fields
watered by the eyes
of the wettest dawn.
She feels empty
caught
in a web of stars
immenser than any sky
that ever sheltered Europe.
Her story is not written.
She lives in the not-knowing
Her mind crossed Rubicons
Scylla and Charybdis
are petrified
with
lyrics and dance….
She is all the things
She has ever loved:
scented wine,
the white and blue bustle
of spring
the forests dormant
under the scythed moon.
Her green thoughts
bear the celestial heavens
like so many miniature Atlases…
This world is strange
and under attack
of barbarous hearts
that have plundered
and seduced
bedazzled countries
and continents…
She is still not yours,
Still hiding in the
vapors of the tide…
Like any artist without an art form, she became dangerous. — Toni Morrison

Curiosity
Tried…
“I tried to discover, in the rumor of forests and waves, words that other men could not hear, and I pricked up my ears to listen to the revelation of their harmony.”
Gustave Flaubert, November, 1842

Live in the “Not Knowing”
I started writing about my failures. I have created my own mythology.
Passion for everything I do is a unicorn.
Fear of being rejected is an olyphant.
Impossible dreams echo in my ears as siren songs.
Fear of not being able to make my humane appeal understood is a saber-toothed cat which tears at my flesh with clawed words.
This is the bestiary of entrapment in the world of “Not Knowing”.
Imagination doesn’t deal writing with an even hand. Your words must be true and woven on the steps others have built for you. It is unifying and putting things together. If I am not mistaken, this is Steve Jobs definition of creativity: “Creativity is just connecting things.”
“You have to learn to live in the ‘not knowing’ ” or in Equilibrium. This way you will fear less and become fearless.

What Silent Film Taught Me About Storytelling at Lithub.com
By Dominic Smith
“Silent films began to teach me how to listen to my characters and their world in a whole new way as a writer. And they reminded me of narrative lessons that I thought I’d already mastered.”

The Bluest Eye
“Love is never any better than the lover. Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love of a free man is never safe. There is no gift for the beloved. The lover alone possesses his gift of love. The loved one is shorn, neutralized, frozen in the glare of the lover’s inward eye.”
– Toni Morrison – The Bluest Eye
