And if today I could move anywhere, I would choose to move into a cotton throw. One that lays always near the chimney. A lenghty, stripped, wool blankie, with a burn mark and a warm, familiar smell. We would hug each other on a wooden chair and wait for the radio to share its afternoon … Continue reading No country for grown ups

My onyx nights
I am affraid no longer to melt into the tempest of life. To respond with restful eyes to the bitter words that travel my way. I just lay back, curving the reality by storing wishes in the Akashic records. My cheek melts into a lucid dream every night, my eyes are engraving the ceiling every … Continue reading My onyx nights
My dear winter
My dear winter, you called me saying that you'll keep me warm under your sheets, that your walls will mould themselves around me. You said your hills are silent and no one will even dare to speak. Dear winter, I thought I came to forget but I came only to remember more. You wrapped me … Continue reading My dear winter
How much do you remember?
I forgot how music can often peel off those layers of "what I have to become" revealing the one I always needed to be.

I forgot how the grass changes its … Continue reading How much do you remember?

April, maybe May. I look at all the people who pass me by, holding sacks with groceries, stridently moving and chattering. I … Continue reading Greatful for all the moments I have yet to live

We Are One
I gracefully kneel my soul, while understanding that Ego is just a product of my mind and pride is its side effect. This time comes, when you start to see behind the curtain of the world. You sit with all the actors and watch them silently, while they remove their costumes. You're still, dressed in … Continue reading We Are One
The art of conversation
One of the benefits of getting older? The level of tolerance to people who choose to disguise their simple mind into an elaborated one, dropps significantly. If I have to draw a map in my head, before engaging you in a conversation then I might as well refuse to share more than a good sense … Continue reading The art of conversation
The world does not need you happy
Happy people are bad for the economy. If you would be happy with what you have, why would you want more? The need will be created once you will have a flaw pointed, once you will become insecure about aspects of your life. Happy-looking people will greet you in the commercial breaks making you feel … Continue reading The world does not need you happy
