Mirror mirror on the Wall

Brussels, October 2007
The way you look is one of the communication media towards other
people that gets the most attention, often more then what you say...
Yet it is also the only medium you don't have control over ; not even
in the mirror will you ever understand how you look.

The best mirror you will ever have, is the way people look at you.

You don't shine if you don't glow

Impressions around Warsaw

September 2007, Warsaw, Poland

Mama, why ?

Mama,
why is the sky blue ?
why do clouds change shape ?
If I was a statue, would I be cold ?
And if I had a blanket, would I still feel cold ?
And with a very very warm blanket ?
Is there a number bigger then infinite ?
why does the washing machine turn always first left and then right ?
Why don't you understand when I say a little much ?
Why are we here ?
Is it still far ?
Can I have a cookie ?
Why do we call a tree a tree ?
If I swallow a chewing gum, what will happen ?
Why are babies born with their head first ?

Thank you mama, for answering all my questions...

Can you walk the walk ?

Sometimes, you have the freedom to be who you are, and everything is
going great, and you can realize yourself and be happy about it.
Sometimes, you dont have that freedom, and you have to push yourself
through a hole you don't really fit, so that you can realize yourself
and be happy about it.
This is the game life is, and I wish the rules would be honest and
fair, but they aren't. Yet the more you complain about the crappy
rules, the less you can play.
Luckily, life is a game that requires tactics, but it's also a game of
chance ; ) There is no square that is really a lost square, anything
can happen.
I have fretted the rules for a long time. Now I have to learn how to
play by them...

Chit Chat

I like to talk to my friends, about a lot of stuff.
but I also like the moments, where we are together, and don't need to
talk... when all is just well as it is...

The target is clear

It's always easier to know what direction to go, if you know where you
have to end... a flag, a house, a light in the distance, they help you
find your way. They do not make it easier to walk, and often make you
even feel the fact that you are still far away and have to walk a lot
to get there. But they do make it easier to know where to go... but to
be honest, once I know where I have to end up, I often don't care
about the walk anymore, when actually, the walk is the only
interesting part, the goal is a lot less interesting...
Once you see the goal, you loose the possibility in your mind to find
another goal... You feel momentarily saved, but are actually locked...

If I knew the goal of my life, I would know how to live it. But it
certainly would not be as enjoyable... I would be locked in my belief
that there is only one good ending to this fantastic story...
I believe honestly that all the endings are beautiful, not what
happens matters, not how long it takes, but how you take it, and how
you look at yourself and others while you are going to your end...
