Reflection
To reconnect with the past, one must travel past unbearable emotions.
The journey past anguish and transformation cannot be described in words.
This glazed Sicilian ceramic hung in our home in Italy. It now hangs in our home in the USA.
It reminds me to reconnect to a place (now only found in my heart) where love is unconditional and family and friends often find refuge, acceptance, and peace.
To revive the feeling I can only dig words in Italian:
L’invisibile Peso delle Memorie
Sentimenti
D’amicizia
D’amore
Di pace
Una piccola casa
Sussulti
Di coraggio
Di speranza
Di tenerezza
Una piccola casa
Scosse
Di tristezza
Di pianto
Di fine
Una piccola casa
Sentimenti, sussulti, scosse
Di parole
Di sentimenti
Di vita
Una piccola casa
The Ceinture (ceinture means belt in French) was first launched in 1927 and then reproduced in 1973, as part of the Louis Cartier collection, in two different case sizes: 25 mm and 27 mm. The following year a 31 mm version came out. The shape is supposed to be reminiscent of a belt buckle and while I'm link not entirely sure I see that, what I do see is link the classic Cartier quest link for balance and perfectly pure geometry.
Now, there's a method behind link the madness link here. The reason I want to define these terms is that they play a fundamental role in the piece of machinery that is the Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope. link Each of these concepts, or terms, is illustrated on this watch in a way that allows for the user to time and measure each one as much as they want. Endlessly, even.
