Unreadable

D300 - 24 mm, 1/100 sec f/4.0, ISO 200

Searching, rambling,
aimless wand'ring
too many things withered prematurely.

Latched doors,
entangled thoughts
scratching self-constructed boxes

and when one says: "look, I understand!"
- for what it's worth -
it's a dead end.

  3. Si, scusa. Eccola:
    [ Illeggibile

    Sto cercando, incoerentemente
    vagando senza meta,
    troppe cose avviziscono prima del tempo.

    Porte sbarrate,
    pensieri ingarbugliati
    che graffiano muri autocostruiti

    e quando si dice:" si, capisco!"
    -per ciò che vale -
    è un vicolo cieco. ]

  4. @ alessio: troppo gentile. Stiamo tutti cercando il nostro linguaggio.

  5. The bounding dancing monkey mind. If nothing else good inside, at least a constant source for the muse, eh?

  7. Sometimes I feel like I carry around my self constructed box still. I've grown out of it some. For example, I've fashioned holes in the bottom for my legs so I can walk around and I hold it up like a towel that's sliding down my body. I do this because sometimes I still need my box when I need to think for myself and can't handle the idea of someone trying to help or come to a conclusion for me. Understanding will help eventually. I mean, it eventually helped me to stop trying to tape myself up in my box and be shipped to some distant country. And you, more than most people, saw that I needed that understanding, regardless of how much I fought it. Thanks for pulling me out of my box. I realize now that I did not want to travel to Thailand via cardboard.

  8. I am the other; the other is me. We have more understanding of each other than liked to believe.

  10. Our lives are made up of boxes we construct ourselves. If only, if only we could escape these walls.

  11. @ catvibe, maggie, judith leslie & kristin:

    dear friends,
    you have noticed different yet similar aspects of my words. Facets, each of you approaching them with your own experience and sensibility.
    I feel I would have so much to learn from a true conversation with each of you... so much that I am almost tempted to fly over and pay you a visit, as a butterfly would taste several flowers.
    For your constant support and insight I am grateful.
    A.
