"I've got the snowboard under my feet
I can fly so high, I can fall so deep
But who do I see comin up the track
A little green man with the snowboard on his back

He said: and now I'm flying like an angel to the sun
My feet are burning and I grab into another world..."

Guano Apes - Lords Of The Boards

Today, while I was waiting for the buss, this young fellow offered me a book. As I browse it I stop and read this passage:

"Aim Stimulates the Mind - You should also have an aim, a purpose, in life. Where there is no purpose, there is a disposition to indolence; but where there is a sufficiently important object in view, all the powers of the mind will come into spontaneous activity. In order to make life a success the thoughts must be steadily fixed upon the object of life and not left to wander off and be occupied with unimportant things, or to be satisfied with idle musing, which is the fruit of shunning responsibility. Castle-building depraves the mind.--2T 429 (1870). 443"

I turn my head and I can see my buss it's coming so I give him back the book and thank him. This one quote stays with me... and won't let me go.

*It sounded even more captivating in Romanian: "Făurirea castelelor de fum degradează mintea."

Zaraće, Hvar Island. The second one is kind of an experiment. I used a Nikon Polarizing Filter.

Lavender fields, Hvar Island.

*Why should it mean that the fish in the sea are all unable to sing?
