23.01.2022 The important thing at this point is not to tamper. We must, lest be ambitious, let the Holy Ghost, or the Muse, or the subconscious-if you prefer modern mythology- have its way with us. Then, in due time, if I have not been bamboozling myself, I am given the line, or maybe some hazy notion- a glimpse perhaps- of a poem, a long way off. Jorge Luis Borges, in N. T. Di Givanni, D. Halpern, F. MacShane (edited by), ‘Borges on writing, E. P. Dutton &Co, 1973 #sunday#i#rest

20.01.2022 Do you believe in signs? This Isolation has meant paying closer attention to all sorts of mysterious and indecipherable signals that have raised black and green flags over a period of time that now feels infinite. I have let go (yet never completely) many times. I have been on and off in the sole attempt of pleasing the system because I didn’t realise how this might in fact be a route to undertake on my own: a slow growth of my own spirit, my globula or maybe further down th...e road, a new isotype for a larger globe. Isolation has meant not having the pressure to perform, having instead the time to recall and make sense of the hints hidden in some solidary words. This is yet another opportunity to reopen the X-files as well as the dark drawers forgotten in archives material or not. I cannot pin the exact moment when all started to (re) unfold, nor how or why. The first real step was to rearrange of a messy website that you can (re)visit if you wish. I have no other say, only that I know I need to keep in balance and my mind games tamed. I wonder why I am writing this, and if will pulse somebody's beat. I guess it does not matter as it could wonder spell or just a mere illusion, So I am not sure this time Black Matter will be here to stay. I guess it’s up to the course of winter and the toll it will once again take. For this last matter, I wish I wish I wish . See more

06.01.2022 "Knowledge empowers you, indeed. I know that as a fact as I am writing, in this writing process. But then [I wonder:] why should I expose the intimacy of my native Chile and my Tasmanian home. To whom am I gifting that to? Why... am I doing this? Holding all this information, now I think: 'Geee, I've got a huge responsibility; what to do?'. So I stopped. I went to the beach yesterday, and I stopped. I told Julie and Rob I had stopped. I told Maria I had stopped. Today I woke... up... with the same thought: I know. But then... what do I know; who am I to know? So I am starting a whole new process: I am not giving up writing - I write for myself. But then, where that's going to go...huf... probably nowhere. YET, it's going to lead me somewhere else. And that's... it is that something else, that metamorphosis of all this knowledge I've got in my brain, tangled yet loose enough to unravel.. it is THAT, that I am going to share".

05.01.2022 Driven by empiric curiosity, I went to check the turn of the Chilean Nothofagus at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Here, five deciduous species grow: antarctica, alpina, glauca, obliqua and pumilio. As thoughts turned in my head, analysis crossed the line of the scientific, shifted towards conceptual and finally wondered into an-other world. Such has appeared to be Black Matter’s process. But this is not the whole story: where is Alexander? The missing...last seen with Macro, also missing

01.01.2022 "The first to disappear is the green chlorophyll, the key pigment involved in photosynthesis. Once the green goes, the leaf colour is determined by the remaining pigments including the yellowy-orange "carotenoid" pigments that play a background role in photosynthesis, and the reddy-purple "anthocyanin" pigments, which serve as sunscreens and have other protective functions. Eventually, the plant decides to cut its connection to the leaves altogether and this is when the autumn leaves fall". https://www.abc.net.au//true-blue-autumn-leaves-a/12147698
