Sometimes, when we talk about newsletters, it feels as if we were summoning something ancient, almost prehistoric. But no: the Slowletter isn’t a barrage of updates or a constant stream of news.
It’s more like a small campfire, a quiet place to sit for a moment, listen, and let things arrive in their own time.
Deriva Lenta is a project in motion: it shifts, it grows, it drifts. Here, routes, photographs and quiet thoughts find their own rhythm. I also want to open windows to other projects and, little by little, expand the map of the Maestrazgo to show it as I feel it: vast, honest, and full of stories worth telling
But things made slowly require time, and this website is still a work in constant progress. To walk beside you without rushing while everything takes shape, the best way to stay connected is through email. It’s simple, direct, and it works. I’m subscribed myself to the newsletters of all those websites that inspire me and that I don’t want to lose sight of. I check my inbox first thing in the morning, like someone opening the window to see how the day is waking up. And I try to keep it tidy… I hope I’m not the only one.
The Slowletter is, in that sense, a gentle way to follow the drift of Deriva Lenta: calm notes when there’s something new worth sharing. But it isn’t the only one. If you feel like talking, exchanging impressions, discovering routes or simply leaving a message in the wind, there’s also the Telegram Community: a more lively, more immediate place where drifts turn into conversation.
So if you’d like to follow this path, you can subscribe to the Slowletter using the form below: a quiet thread that arrives without making a sound.
And if you ever feel like being a little closer, you’ll find me there on Telegram too.
A small gesture to stay in touch.
One thread, two shores, the same path.
