đ„Â Welcome to my new substack.. Iâm so happy youâve come to my capriccio.
ca·pric·ci·o - /kÉËprÄCHÄËĆ/
The capriccio is a pictorial âinventionâ creating an imaginary or âanalogueâ reality by combining existing buildings or places with imaginary ones, shifting or re-organizing their locations and their groupings into uniquely suggestive visions. In fact what characterizes the capriccio is: truth, reality and realism. It enhances a formidable potential of life and livability in beautifully composed, complex and memorable environments, places, landscapes and buildings which only exist in the realm of desire⊠The realm of desire is the realm of lifeâŠ
- Lucien Steil, The Architectural Capriccio
Iâve been on substack for over two years now, but have spent most of my time on Water to Wine, where Iâve been honing my voice in silent company. With Capriccio, my intent is come bring you my landscaped thought of whatever Beautiful I come upon, whatever Truth I can love, whatever Good ideas I can stitch together for that day, everyday. This may include musings on:
- intimacy
- faith, prayer, & spirituality
- family, marriage, love, & relationships
- deepening friendships
- online life
- architecture, civilization, culture, politics (really? do I want to talk politics? how about on how to ignore politics? how to see & tolerate politics?)
- the relationship side of building sustainable lives and love
- learning, thinking, writing
- original [dumb] fiction & [flighty] poetry
Nothing much. Just whatever.
My favorite thing is to see, to draw connections, making the abstract real.. long-lasting beyond your closing the tab on this page. :)
in Love,
