Morphing at a Distance

Would one’s sense of existence be vanished when one 

feels his individual space in the broad environment is

no longer enough. How would he choose to survive 

between benfits and values, is it to fight or to adapt?

Spectator

Stories are being told with my own sound, while what 

you would see as a spectator I would leave it to you…

Would we share the same feeling…I long for your arrival.

The Future Is RightIn Front Of Your Eyes

My life is like an ever fiowing river at great speed, 

because I am fond of the ocean and I long for the 

boundless sky; even if I have to walk on the path

from the peak of the Himalaya Mountain to the abyss 

of the Pacific ocean.

I have already known that it will not be a usual path 

full of turmoil, exposure to the blazing sun and of the 

freezing snow, hit by falling rocks and burn by chilling wind …

In the unknown zone and in this unknown world, drifing 

but not going along without a destination, but it is a 

journey of the inner world, not so much on the far away 

but more on the present.

Lifeline

Life is imaginary, your thoughts are keeping him alive. 

If you think you have a never ending life with substantiated 

thoughts and a firm mind, then you will have a life, otherwise, 

you will be like a zombie. We need to reach out to life then 

you will gain a life.
