illusions of the impossible

autumn is upheaval

Dreams of green

Edinburgh

August 2017

le printemps prends du temps

willful blindness

 Some places seem to have been created to fullfill the Umiverse mission

Libraire Nijinski is one of them.

 

By now, its books have hopefully carried carefully crafted notes to people all across Europe.

 

But have they been found?

Or was Ruiz Zafón right?

 

 

Right, right.

Oh, the games we play

pretending like the world is ours to change.

 

 

 

Plato's cave in Bruges

 

 

 

Relax.

take it easy.

 

Maltese cross-referencing

 

talking about time

timing talk.

 

What more appropriate hiding place than this?

 

Because (E)U are worth it.

These days

the political is personal

and responsability is 

universal.

cajoled into contemplation

relatively unreasonable

some questions arise when you are in the middle.

when the colours are showing,

and you are not sure if you like yours...

Londonesque premonition

the dialectics of a wandering heart

in a pictoresque café on the banks of Amsterdam's canals,

a small thought about one of life's big questions.

Uitwaaien

 

Old town, new feelings

Searching for something je-ne-sais-quoi in Riga's Old Town, 

I stumbled on this bohemian paradise

As Bob Marley reggead on and we drank to the freedom found in foreign lands,

a stubborn thought was born 

Words and ideas are often powerful influencers of our actions.

I'll leave it at that.

Words, consequences & pieces of paper

Alone in the bar of Palacio de Cibeles, 

big thoughts on a small note

maybe about this, 

all of this.

A scarlet heart and a glass of cava

A lonley writer on the streets of Madrid, 

selling his home-printed memoirs,

in the form of stumbling poems

For 1 euro his life was mine to take home as a souvenir.

I washed it down with some cava

and a side of olives.

Madrid musings

After a few days of city strolling in Madrid, 

reading Winterson 

and contemplating layers of civilization

Trains are like lovers

For the full cup of beauty, 

listen here  Les voyages en train

in the company of giants, surrounded by treasures
