He had been a happy cell and then reproduction had disrupted his happy equilibrium. With consciousness had come discomfort and the constant flirtations with the twin serpents that joy and pain are. He had been a happy child but with age had come heartbreak, ambition, joy, envy and pain. Imagination had diminished with the years […]

As he climbed higher he was witness to a fantastic vista. The horizon endless, the sea and the land merging into each other with the harmony that only nature can achieve. He had come here ages ago once. He had treaded the same pine needle strewn paths on the edge of the world or so […]

Knowing that certain nights whose sweetness lingers will keep returning to the earth and sea after we are gone, yes, this helps us to die. I don’t know whether this world has a meaning that transcends it. But I know that I cannot know that meaning and that it is impossible for me just now […]
