"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..."

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.

"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."

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.

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.

Life was never easy. In fact, it's the hardest thing I've ever done.
It attacked me, & it broke me, but I never allowed it to make me bitter. I never allowed it to leave holes in a bleeding heart; no, I patched those holes up with empathy & compassion, even when crashing into self.

Rain can seem gloomy, yet it paints the streets with mirrors of light.
Delays can frustrate us, yet they gift us unexpected pauses.
Noise can disturb us, yet it reminds us we’re not alone.
