One`s life

In one`s life, a certain moment arrives when things are not what they seem. But it is not useful to know: at the end they have never been of one, either of nobody. It is inevitable the nostalgia for such lost innocence, even when we thought that things meant us, and when blinded by our own certainty of what is real, we give ourselves to the world: taking for granted the good conventional and arbitrary sense that allow us the perception of things. Mean things that do not exist, things with which we can not speak; in its absence, meaning existing subjects, speculators, chatters, unconscious and idiots. That old habit of meaning is behind the custom, which blinds and deceives: which distracts. Mean the excess on the use of the power of meaning things: the threat of common sense. Pale mirage of deceit from reality. Sublime ode of a major labeled artifice that cannot be seen or touched: the absurdity of the real, and the liar reign of things. Many are still handed to them, bandaged by the common sense, wilded to the real, and anchored without remedy. They deliver themselves to anything: to a television set or to a smiling blond doll. Their life is meant by a spoon or by a vacuum cleaner. An accurate and precise mathematical calculation or a neat and clean house means much more than their existence. Individuals delivered to what others might say and to the shielded prejudice of their own-little-morals. Continue reading

At the freezing-point of the will

- ‘It will come, one day, that hour that will envelope you in a golden cloud where is no pain; where the soul has the enjoyment of its own weariness and, happy in a patient game with its own patience, is like the waves of a lake which, reflecting the colours of an evening sky on a quite summer`s day, lap and lap against the bank and then are still again – without end, without aim, without satiation, without desire – all repose that rejoices in change, all ebbing back and flooding forward with the pulse beat of nature’. This is how all invalids feel and speak; but if they do attain to that hour there arrives, after brief enjoyment, boredom. This, however, is a thawning wind for the frozen will: it awaken, stirs itself, and again engenders wish upon wish. – To wish is a sign of recovery improvement.

Naturträne

Through the open window I can see
The tiny clouds hovering in the sky
The wind is blowing, my nose is freezing
… a few exhaust pipes are spluttering.

Ah, the sun is going down
Red and gold, as it should be
I look down to the street below
And see a friend standing there

Suddenly my heart feels heavy
I just need to see birds fluttering
And my eyes turn up to the sky
How it jurts my soul – how beautiful!

Nature in the evening, a peaceful town
Tormented soul, the tears flow
It all makes me feel so feeble
And makes the tears flow even more
Aaah…
