• Fall, so that you Rise

    THE MIDDLE WAY Where thoughts solemn dare to dwell I was sitting on my balcony with a warm mug of coffee and a cigarette while gazing at the birds in the sky. Flying without a trace, free.

    FULFIL YOUR MIND, LIKE A CHILD Why living an extreme will help you find yourself? I have seen both the polarities of the mind and physical existence.
