To keep walking is hard. Repeatedly dying on the way is a normal occurrence, but no less significant.
What breaks the heart often is not the crude world or a passer-by, but the heart itself. It allows itself to be crushed.
And as funny as it may sound, the truth doesn’t change that the heart also heals itself.
Let us keep aside the magical part for it blindfolds the ones with sightless minds and talks about reason and logic.
Oh! But that is already done – heart breaks itself and heals itself… very straightforward indeed. Brain, heart, brain, heart… and this is the journey.
Carrying on kills, but so does not-carrying on; carrying on also gives you a chance to live and to experience the universe. It is a long, long, long journey and then you reach nothing.
At nothing, you become everything.

Opposite the Nadir
Short Lyrical Prose

The igneous surface I am walking on has a tremendous sound stored in it, but in a dense state so that the land appears dead.
The colour is thick black; it stains me anew with every step that I take, entering breath by breath within.
Smog-heavy mood, like heavy chains, has made me hunchbacked. Hollow quietude stays along, walking next to my faint shadow.
I utter nothing, nothing at all – all noise is of the wind; the wind ruffles around greasily, overwhelming me with dullness.
The mind is whimsical, I tell myself after some days’ journey; I continue ahead.
Where to, I ask, am I going?
That was the last I heard from myself.
But I am still walking, walking towards what lies opposite the nadir.
