let's go home

Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him. We, people's hearts, seldom say much about those treasures, because people no longer want to go in search of them. We speak of them only to children. Later, we simply let life proceed, in its own direction, toward its own fate. But, unfortunately, very few follow the path laid out for them - the path to their Personal Legends, and to happiness.

If good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise. If bad things are, and you know in advance, you will suffer greatly before they even occur ... The fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.

- The Alchemist Paul Coelho


The burden of tomorrow and the pain of yesterday ensures that the present will never be treated the way it should be. When you're consumed in a moment, caught in the melody of a song or the beauty of an amazing landscape, you're never happier than you are at that point in time. It feels like for a minute or so, your mind is free with clarity, which some people achieve through meditation but which always leads my mind along the path of "Black; with my eyes closed all I see is black; some call it a colour but some people define it as a tone; now I'm thinking of rainbows, except the violet stripe doesn't really exist" and you can imagine how it goes on. But this is how it plays out every single time, as predictable and Turkish delight and Belgian dark chocolate.



What's in the box?
