I don’t know what I am thinking. But I am alone.

I am trapped in the net of the room.

In the net of humans.

I think maybe I am drowning in the net of humans.

– Karen Hesse – The Music of Dolphins

I want to be earth. Be earth. To hold you closely in my embrace. Always.

Circles of solitude exist,

just like circles of dreams and waking,

just like the circles of hell.

There are no norms.

All people are exceptions to a rule

that doesn’t exist.

THIRD WATCHER Let her speak. Don’t interrupt.

She knows words that mermaids taught her…

My heart aches because I wasn’t you

when you dreamed at the seashore…

– Fernando Pessoa –

When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin.

It works not because it settles the question for you.

But because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air.

You suddenly know what you are hoping for …

The world is wrong side up. It needs to be turned upside down in order to be right side up.

– Billy Sunday –

And the people went into their hide, they oh

from the start they didn’t know exactly why …

Winter came and made it so all look alike …

Underneath the grass would grow, aiming at the sky

It was swift, it was just, another wave of a miracle

But no one, nothing at all would go for the kill

If they called on every soul in the land, on the moon

Only then would they know a blessing in disguise

The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore

And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before …

Tell me now of the very souls that look alike …

Do you know the stranglehold covering their eyes?

If I call on every soul in the land, on the moon

Tell me if I’ll ever know a blessing in disguise …

Agnes Obel – The curse
