In far-off lands stand the great stones

on which my thoughts rest.

It was a foreigner who wrote the strange words

on the hard board that is called my soul.

Days and nights I lie and think

about things that never happened:

my thirsty soul was once given a drink.

– Edith Södergran –

The odd thing about recurring dreams is that, no matter how many times you dream the same thing, it always takes you by surprise.

– David Small – Stitches

Ph : Peter Lindbergh

When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you.

– Friedrich Nietzsche –

Dreams are our only geography—our native land.

– Dejan Stojanovic –

with strangers

up to the edge of the sky

talk softly with the trees

comfort them sometimes

slowly time consumes the core of things

soundlessly treads fate’s heavy heel

– Edith Södergran –

i am a neuter

a net for all voracious fish

a step toward chance and disaster

a leap in freedom and the self

the blood’s whisper …

the soul’s shiver

the flesh’s longing and denial

an entry sign to new paradises

a flame, seeking

water, deep, daring …

i am fire and water …

– Edith Södergran –

Models: Elilith – Sabi

I am a drifter, and as lonely as that can be, it is also remarkably freeing. I will never define myself in terms of anyone else …

I can view everyone as pieces of a whole, and focus on the whole, not the pieces. I have learned to observe, far better than most people observe. I am not blinded by the past or motivated by the future. I focus on the present because that is where I am destined to live.

– David Levithan – Every Day

And a beautiful world we live in, when it is possible, and when many other such things are possible, and not only possible, but done– done, see you ! under that sky there, every day.

– Charles Dickens – A Tale of Two Cities

Life is made of so many partings welded together

– Charles Dickens – Great Expectations
