so again:
the world is beautiful and dark,
and we seek our way, seek the light,
only to die in the dark,
but it is nevertheless beautiful

at night the sun is dead and one night it's you so drink and be merry tonight

but we take our modern lives for granted,
and we are blind to the timeless beauty,

perhaps it is necessary to suffer some
in order to appreciate,
and perhaps it is necessary to be ready to die,
to live,

sketches reveal the true impression but shun the details,
you eventually have to add details, to move forward,
but then you invariably lose some of the truth
(...but then you sketch again)

(fragrance of the springtime evening, old house, blossoming trees, the chirping of birds, the freshness of air, the warmth of sun on the skin, the warmth and softness of human flesh, the cotton dress, the strawberries, the creaking door, cats purr...)

-when i think of that mood i think of life, of existence
-there's a certain spirit to a life well lived
-it is not so fucking obvious how to live is it
-supposedly feeling precedes thought and action
-i suppose i just want to capture that feeling, first
