Love is madness that`s quick to burn
And lying in the embers is where we are.
In the mountains, we see a valley covered by a sea of white clouds. The surface of the clouds gleams, immaculate. We start to walk toward the valley. The air becomes more humid, then less clear; the sky is no longer blue. We find ourselves in a fog. Where did the well-defined surface of the clouds go? It vanished. Its disappearance is gradual; there is no surface that separates the fog from the sparse air of the heights. Was it an illusion? No, it was a view from afar. Come to think of it, it`s like this with all surfaces. This dense marble table would look like a fog if I were shrunk to a small enough, atomic scale. Everything in the world becomes blurred when seen close up. Where exactly does the mountain end and where do the plains begin? Where does the savannah begin and the desert end? We cut the world into large slices. We think of it in terms of concepts that are meaningful for us, that emerge at a certain scale.

I feel like I`m in the wrong world. Cause I don`t belong in a world where we don`t end up together. I don`t. There are parallel universes out there where this didn`t happen. Where I was with you, and you were with me. And whatever universe that is that`s the one where my heart lives in.
We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.
If you want to know how your life is going to turn out, you just have to know where you’re heading.
We were born into a mystery, one that has haunted us since at least as long as we've been human. We awakened on this tiny world beneath a blanket of stars like an abandoned baby left on a doorstep without a note to explain where we came from, who we are, how our universe came to be, and with no idea how to end our cosmic isolation. We’ve had to figure it all out for ourselves.
