my love and play is wisdom

cycle of compositions (2021)

The child is laughing:

“My love and wisdom is game.”

The young man is singing:

“My game and wisdom is love.”

The old man is silent:

“My love and play is wisdom.”

 

Inspired by the last two lines of the famous “3 Faces” poem by Romanian poet and philosopher Lucian Blaga, the series of five compositions reflects on old age, wisdom, melancholy and what it means to be living in the dusk of one's life.
