As I already wrote before its always major part of life negativities unavoidable. Oddly enough all my depressing experiences concentrated in sphere of relations. It is like sado-maso games with your own gastronomic perceptiveness.

We are mortally afraid and at the same time unconsciously strive for perfection of unknown which will never come in cramped space [...]

When pink morning light transits to yellow luminosity of midday, and wind blowing from Schmelz stops bringing meditative tunes of kukus bird, I start my everyday journey.
Mirror in my small flat is the gateway. I step behind it and as invisible clot of energy roll outside. Together with gust of wind I move along [...]
