NOTHING
"My nights are more beautiful than your days. They are the doorway to wonder.
The wonder of all wonders."
I am not sure if this just my problem, a general tendency or only a moment of tiredness, but this feeling of an "eternal present" disturbs me greatly. I am totally disoriented by the daily repetition of mind-numbing tragedies and the lack of vision or of a global project or even a common dream for the future on the part of major players on the world stage.
Siberia is burning, Greenland is melting and, in the last year, a half billion trees have been cut down in the Amazon alone.
In this cosmic emptiness that surrounds me, the nothing that I searched for in my nights gives off psychedelic colours and becomes a fairy tale. It is a kaleidoscope of ordinary visions, fragments of images and thoughts. A magic nothing that becomes astonishment and refuge. I think that each person is doing the same thing in their own way and with their own language.
How long can we keep this up?
