‘Holding inside her the secret pattern for the carpet, she would weave each thread gently in and gently out, through hard wired vertical, thick weft thread, stopping from time to time to align them. Sometimes the shed stick, the wooden stick separating threads, would drop, the tension in the thread would be lost, and words would pass, or would they retrieve their work peacefully and resolutely?’
Welcome to episode 1 of series 4 – The Series of Things.
This new series is called: THE STORIES OF THINGS and it features stories of those things that are meaningful in our lives – those things that we have kept, that we have carried with us from house to house, the things that we do not remove easily from our possession.
We would love for this series to be collaborative, and we invite you to bring your stories to the fold!
Please share the stories of those things that are not just things here or send me an Instagram message.
The show is currently unfunded. To ensure we can provide a whole series, please support us.
DISCUSSION:
Putting a precious thing to use involves accepting the potential of damage and eventually loss of the object. We are always faced with a choice: to use it and therefore lose it eventually, or to preserve it in perfect conditions. What should we choose and why?
RECOMMENDATION:
This episode’s recommendation is Constantin si Elena, a film of utter beauty and intense sensitivity, telling the love story of an older couple. We hope you enjoy it!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We would love to continue the podcast in a collaborative matter and this is why we welcome YOUR STORIES OF MEANINGFUL OBJECTS. So please send your story!
All My Beautiful Club ko-fi members have priority, but we will endeavour to narrate as many stories as we can on the podcast! You can listen to all previous’ episodes on the app.
