Rocks of Solid Foundation

Season 6, Ep. 6


For all the people who are on the night train alone thinking about the beauty of the world - lonesome reflection

For all the flowers that bloom after long winters

For all the unsung heroes who were once villains

For all the mistiest of souls who were once lost but now found

For all the bloodshot nights and days that go untouched by love

For all the cowards that will brave the fear

For all the boys and girls without a father figure, and a mom's

For all those addicted to those betraying kinds of love and beauty and who don't yield in to anymore

For all the momentum poets understand and lose

For all those people who will find love and for those who won't

For all those that struggle with forgiveness and want to steer clear of hurt

For all those that fail to creep into the cosiest of don'ts and do's

For all those that risk their lives to gain eternity

For the eternal, sacred time component orbiting around historical time

For all the love left untouched, spread on the crumbs of humanity and the failure of a promise

For all those unspread layers of niceties that hold true to a direct approach

For all the dappled sunlight that shines through trees in late afternoons while squirrels are playing and woodpeckers are hammering on

For all those slow trains that travel through the gorge through tunnels carved in stone, sort of time tunnels stuck as in a time capsule revealing bits of wonders - leaves and berries you could touch out of the train windows

To your soul window that opens into other shut windows, soul windows, and does not care to shut but stays open

For the small towns, seemingly innocent and pure, when no soul is there to be seen in the early hours of the morning. Then, as the day is progressing, the town would eat away at its light while the dark would still dig the light out - rocks of the solid foundation

    To HubSaying goodbyewhen I wasn't there but I wascan be the hardestwhat would I say:"You couldn't have chosen a more beautiful day to go,"I found myself saying towards the end of it,just because I'm assuming you'd continue to enjoy everything over there.It wasn't the same for Mom, I remember - the world stopped, literally stopped,connections dropped for a good few hours, just because they had to, after all, it was Mom, my mom silencing death, making us understand the dread creeping over for a good few years.Because in some moments we would never cope with you leaving.In some others we would see it as the natural course of things.You'd remember everything contrary to your last few yearsYou'd joke as you often did leaving God to laugh at your jokesHe'd understand without us explaining them to HimSure, He would not always agree with you or you with HimBut, still - one of the shortest sentences for one of the longest livestouching the lives of others, making a mission of it:You'd be sure to give all the arguments for why things happen, how lives get lived,how people adjust to different cultures, situationsand how they choose and loveeach other.I hope I'll grow into that fine adult who would know, find what we are meant tofind here and then thereand understand not everything is up to usexcept for the Love.

  • 2. A Little Bit of Green in Everything

    02:30||Season 7, Ep. 2
    (...)Adapting the coloured trend to every style sandwiched between flash-like memories, polaroid meteors on the visual map and rhythms, green themselves, and the sunsets as real as a drop of water dripping off the coat of a human being returning home after riding the rain, for the rain.Tangible pauses, sandwiched between action and no-actionNo prediction will ever tell you what is to come.You open a jar, using the knife with the fine edgeYou feel the ceramics of a gold plated Japanese cup, so light, the whole cup, with empty or full content, made as if light had spread the mud under its weight, making it almost imponderable - the repeatable, repeated muddy mess is what gives the weight its lightness.Bundles of good fortune curating existence.No one can really tell foundations lie solely on this sort of messy, repeating encounters turned into patterns.(...)Photo: Personal Archive

  • 5. Flowing River at the Moment of a Confession

    01:23||Season 6, Ep. 5
    I was asked if I missed or healed from missing my momFirst of all, she is not dead in the sense most of us understand deathSecond of all, you cannot escape the most human example of being a human:miss, love, miss, miss love - to the extent of not coming across it.It's very human to be able to miss the one person that gave you life and light and love and would love unconditionally, the best she could in the ways she knew.I feel I have not yet consumed the bereavementor allowed myself to fall into the sentimentality of it allI have been too busy taking overI gave the only possible answer at that time:'I'm filled with so many voids that I don't feel any, or anything'I felt once again the loneliness of not having the right people next to meI felt sick and tired of people complaining of their fearful and unimaginative ways of livingthat sometimes reflected mineI felt emptied of love and sense and purpose, maybe because of myself spreading too thinon the people that did not reciprocateor were just uncapable of love and lovingIt's not about you I've kept telling myselfMake it about others - the love, not the lack of itHowever, I could but turn to myself when I had given myself too many times to the wrong people and almost never had the right ones who would stay, just stay and be a part of my lifeI didn't want to use metaphors for this -After all, it's a confessionof someone, apparently, selfish, thinking too much of herself, and way too often these daysPhoto: Personal archiveNote: The sound of the river is real, and, hopefully not disturbing

    02:03||Season 6, Ep. 4
    (...) in a beguiling sentiment that,as part of the lifecloth,in the most inhumanelyhumane way, almost undivinely divine,it is worth understanding: when lifeleaves the body, the prominent feelingis not of absence but of presence

    01:10||Season 6, Ep. 3
    Light green replaced by dark green after a few steps in time Moses has taken.His return - she following suit, in his footsteps, going a little further, with confidence - the lightness in the younger age would give, in the wonders, in the makings.'Miss, do you miss...it?''The more you give, the less you take''Should this be a fair deal?''Cast-waiting as in cast-shadow'For years, not light at all, she's been questioning the 'take', whether anything, anything at all, will be hers, whether she's been foot-stepping, or step-footing life on her ownterms,terms;terms:whether her take on it would be the 'take' or just the 'give'.'Some will never have a fair deal, just a fair share of...''Never say never'Her return - moving forward, keep moving forward; receive, not take; give, not m...possess.Photo: Freepik
