excerpts
in a balanced house of cards
how the hell did it collapse
there was no wind at all
------------------------------------
someone must have cut the leash
to corrupt the entertainment
maybe it was me
but it wasn't my idea
------------------------------------
take a drag take a drag
may it stick inside your throat
may it cause you to forget
but it wasn't my idea
------------------------------------
be aware of me again
switch off your smile
delete the file
and look at me again
------------------------------------
und du weißt nicht
mit wem du sprichst
und nichts ist wie es scheint
Champagne For All by T.Wendt

I cleared a shelf on which John had stacked sweatshirts, T-shirts, the clothes he wore when we walked in Central Park in the early morning. We walked every morning. We did not always walk together because we liked different routes but we would keep the other's route in mind and intersect before we left the park.

Learn to appreciate and to live with ambiguities. Ambiguity is good for your soul. It keeps you honest. It keeps you humble. It keeps you searching.
John Paul Lederach, International Conflict Negotiator and Professor of International Peacebuilding at University of Norte Dame

love=life=book extract
"И не ви казвам, че човек не може да живее и без любов - може - и това е най-гадното. Органите продължават да подсигуряват нормално физиологично състояние и това подобие може да продължи много дълго, до момента, в който краят на функционирането направи този труп легитимен. Може да потърсим убежище и забрава и в сексуалността, и да живеем като автобусна спирка. И така, проявете предпазливост, тя винаги е добро извинение. Или пък тръгнете утре с мен. Не правете глупостта да минете някъде встрани поради излишък на житейски опит. Тръгнете с мен, дайте шанс на невъзможното. Нямате представа доколко му е писнало на невъзможното и каква нужда има то от вас.
Когато човек е обичал една жена с отворени очи, с всичките си утрини, с всички поля, гори, извори и птици, разбира, че все още не я е обичал достатъчно и че светът е само началото на всичко, което остава да направи."
Clair de femme (1977) by Romain Gari
wingless
Impending wars now sharpen your eyes
Regeneration from now to then
For time will limit itself again
My aim - disprove you - lacks irony
Your wisdom even extends to me
Are you nervous? Needless to say
What's black tomorrow is pale today
Give wings to my words and let them fly
To spheres I know of and wonder why
Dumb words in silence might now confess
You had hoped for nothing and still got less
Draw a picture in case it helps
Of all vague faces I call myself
Give it details, turn it real
I can't remember how colors feel
I'll give you shelter, I'll give you peace
A handful water instead of seas
For any reason that is unfair
And for a smile that I'll never share
Don't give up
