pickles and love

For the first time since I started this blog, something that relates directly to my work. Rosetta life is a project created by a writer and a video producer for people with life-threatening diseases and their families. For them to become creative (literally, to create) and express themselves by means of art and less conventional forms. That’s the way I put it. They believe in personal storytelling.

Two short movies made by Karl Sage, who’s wife Mary was diagnosed with cancer and died within a matter of days. Sometimes you find things like that – things that become meaningful and dearest to you. Just like that. He captured loss and “saudade” in simple everyday moments. In the way they actually come out. Also – a reminder of the value of reminding to value what one love.

Follow the link, click watch the films and search for his movies among the others (also great). Page 2 – Pickled eggs. Page 5 – My other half.
