Quei lampi delle Notti Magiche: tutto il mondo che c’era negli occhi di Totò Schillaci

Apparvero nella notte romana all’improvviso, come le lucciole che Pier Paolo Pasolini diceva di aver perduto. Si sgranavano dopo i gol ai Mondiali del ‘90, calcisticamente il peggior torneo mai visto, ma degno di enfasi proprio per To-tò che nelle due “o” del nome portava gli occhi e nella sua forma contratta denunciava i due tocchi – al massimo – che concedeva al pallone. Una rapidità di gioco accompagnata dall’inafferrabilità dello sguardo

The Lights of Enchanted Nights: All the World That Was in Toto Schillaci's Eyes

They appeared suddenly in the Roman night, like the fireflies that Pier Paolo Pasolini said he had lost. They appeared after the goals at the '90 World Cup, a football tournament arguably the worst ever seen, but worthy of emphasis precisely for Totò, whose name carried the eyes in its two "o"s and whose contracted form hinted at the two touches – at most – that he allowed the ball. A speed of play accompanied by the elusiveness of his gaze.

This is my personal favorite #kendone #kendonegallery reef painting. It's called Black Lava Reef and I believe it was inspired by a reef on the Gunung Api flow at Banda Neira.

My husband Cliff and I snorkeled with Ken and Judy Done there in January 2020 in the #worldthatwas. It was a magnificent coral punchbowl reef, corals set like jewels on the 30 year old lava.

#coralreefconservation #coralreefprotection Coral reefs are beautiful and worth protecting.

Now he has two hashtag uses, lol.
