"I began my life as I shall no doubt end it: among books. In my grandfather's study, they were everywhere; it was forbidden to dust them except once a year, before the October term. Even before I could read, I already revered these raised stones..."
- Paul Sartre ( The Words)
Dear Barb, thank you so much for your beautiful message
I’m sorry I didn’t reply earlier. I haven’t been on Bluesky as much as before, so I’m a bit late.
Thank you for your kindness and good wishes.
I wish you a wonderful New Year, filled with peace, health, and many joyful moments.

I've always believed Dvořák’s Humoresque was only about smiles and lightness…
But The Ghost of Salieri reveals a deeper truth behind its playful melody.
Come listen...it might change the way you hear the piece forever.

Happy Monday, dear Barb!
Thank you for your beautiful message. Your words always feel like a gentle light.
I’m glad to be “up and at it,” and it warms my heart to hear your memories of those November winters.
Wishing you a week filled with peace, warmth, and little wonders.

A new week begins, my friends, another chance to rise, rebuild, and rewrite the story you tell yourself. Walk forward with calm confidence. What you didn’t achieve last week becomes fuel, not failure. What waits ahead belongs to those who move with purpose. Have a powerful week!

Good afternoon, Barb
Thank you so much for your beautiful words. Every visit here feels like a gift too.
I’ll be on Bluesky only on Mondays from now on, but I’ll always carry your kindness with me through the week.

Good morning, friends.
A new week new thoughts, new notes to compose in the symphony of our days.
May calm purpose guide your steps and quiet confidence fill your heart.

Chopin’s Nocturne No. 20 has always fascinated me, not only for its beauty, but for the secret it hides.
The Ghost of Salieri addresses it with elegance and depth, as if uncovering whispers left between the notes.

Take a seat, my friend.
Feel the breeze, listen to the gentle water, and let the world slow down for a moment.
Enjoy the view… and let’s talk about resilience.
Happy Friday!

So do I, dear friend! You're welcome!

"I am the Ghost of Salieri.
Each time I hear Für Elise, I feel Beethoven’s spirit whispering through time… and the haunting mystery of the woman he wrote for consumes me.
Was she muse, memory, or regret? Only the notes know the truth."

My friends, let the rising sun remind you that no matter how dark the night has been, the horizon always brings renewal.
Every dawn is an invitation to begin again, to believe again, to shine again.
Step into this week with calm strength, open heart, and steady purpose.
October 27, 2025 at 10:12 AM
You are a very wise person, my friend. Have a great day!

Each of us carries silent battles; moments of doubt, pain, and quiet endurance. But as the week ends, let’s remember this: we made it. We are winners not because life is easy, but because we keep going, one heartbeat, one tear, one sunrise at a time.
Happy Friday, my friends.

The first time I heard Lascia ch’io pianga, I felt centuries of sorrow and beauty in one melody.
This version by The Ghost of Salieri brought that feeling back.

A tyrant does not truly fear truth or resistance; what terrifies him is accountability.

My friend, when a dictator rises anywhere, the world becomes a little less free!
October 20, 2025 at 1:07 PM
Thanks. Back at you, my friend.

My friends, stand at the edge of this new week like you would on that balcony, grounded, calm, and ready to rise.
The mountains ahead may look vast, but they are only conquered step by step, with faith and focus. Have a great week ahead.

My brothers laughed outside, but I stayed in, beside the old radio, completely taken by Valse Sentimentale.
That melody became a part of me.

Years later, I’ve given voice to that same emotion through Salieri’s ghost.

My friends, amid the stillness of stone, she reminds us that beauty is born from calm and contemplation.
As this week comes to a close, may you find a moment to rest your thoughts, hold your dreams gently, like the rose in her hand and trust that peace and strength are already blooming within you.

We shouldn’t celebrate the end of a war, but the wisdom that keeps one from starting.
True progress isn’t rebuilding after destruction, it’s preventing what should never be destroyed.
Have a great week ahead, my friends.
