  • I

    I know I am special – I am unique.
    And so is everyone else.
    Of course, in my heart of hearts, I believe that I am more unique than others…
    fortunately, in my head of heads, I know it not to be true.

  • Simple logic

    If you spend enough time filling your space with junk, you inevitably run out of both.

  • Nature

    The idea of “natural” being equivalent to “good” was invented in the early 18th century by Romantics, people who made a career out of being unable to think straight.

  • A tree

    I could never make up anything as complex as a tree. Fortunately, I don’t have to – there are plenty of trees around. Unfortunately, I took half a lifetime to figure it out.

  • Stage set

    I consider freedom of thought and belief essential for the functioning of a society I want to live in and, therefore, I am for the people’s freedom to practice their religion. Unfortunately, most religions disagree.

  • Monsters under-lit

    One of the main tasks of childhood is to learn how to deal with monsters.
    This is why dinosaurs are so fascinating for children –
    they are monsters, concrete and palpable.
    There is nothing human about them,
    they kill with teeth and claws, not words, greed and cowardice.
    They are easy, training monsters,
    a menace you can understand, a threat without ambivalence.
    What do you do if you meet a monster?
    Do you run?
    Do you fight?
    Do you train to be stronger than them?
    Do you learn to be smarter?
    After going to the Museum of Natural History
    and learning about T-Rex
    you couldn’t stop laughing:
    running around with your arms pressed into your sides,
    waving your hands feebly at chest-level,
    saying, ‘itty-bitty hands!’
    I think you chose the best option.
    I think you will be all right.

  • An observation

    White feathers litter the ground
    under the castle wall,
    torn out by doves
    fighting for nesting sites.

  • Self-portrait

    Who am I?
    Am I reflections of the world or the mirrors reflecting it?
    Where do I begin?
    What is inside and what is outside?
    Inside and outside of what?
    There is no one answering.
    I hope there is someone asking.

  • Fractal universe

    We live in an endless universe consisting of space and time… and we are always short of both.
