"It has been a long and rainy winter season along the coast. Searching for inner peace and distractions from the distractions, I plant a seed of thought, I cast a spell. I spread my wings and I practise for the ascent. A billion years away our collective dreams of lush green across the planet will inevitably come true. I am there, I have let my garden overgrow regardless of the petty suburbian men and the perfectly trimmed edges of their hopelessness. What are you fighting against, my friend? No, you can't park on my driveway because the other day you almost completely blocked the side gate and I barely could get out with my bike. I think you should have known the gaping void could only be filled with kindness and patience. Of summer afternoons, of cold rivers and tired waterfalls and I should say eternal composition because what we call decay is in fact a gradual transformation and a return to eternal equilibrium. Yes, buildings and infrastructure are decaying but were they supposed to be there in the first place?"
