~~ “For a while" is a phrase whose length can't be measured. At least by the person who's waiting.” ~~
Quote ― Haruki Murakami
Let's hope, we don't have to wait too lang, before our lifes are getting back to normal again!
"People's memories are the fuel they burn to stay alive." She said.
"They're all just fuel. Advertising fillers in the newspaper, philosophy books, dirty pictures in a magazine: when you feed 'em to the fire, they're all just paper. Important memories, not-so-important memories, totally useless memories: there's no distinction--they're all just fuel."
”He could well imagine what the moon had given her: pure solitude and tranquility. That was the best thing the moon could give a person.”

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. -
Haruki Murakami
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
“It's easy to talk big, but the important thing is whether or not you clean up the shit.”

“We’re both looking at the same moon, in the same world. We’re connected to reality by the same line. All I have to do is quietly draw it towards me.”

“I'm going to take you out of here ... I'm going to take you home, to the world where you belong, where cats with bent tails live, and there are little backyards, and alarm clocks ring in the morning.”

“There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth.”
Quote ― Friedrich Nietzsche
“The real world is in a much darker and deeper place than this, and most of it is occupied by jellyfish and things. We just happen to to forget all that. Don't you agree? Two-thirds of earth's surface is ocean, and all we can see with the naked eye is the surface: the skin.”

'In traveling, a companion: as the saying goes."
I nod. Nod, nod, nod - that's all I seem capable of. But what should I say?
"How does that end?" she asks.
"How does what end? "
"After a companion, how does it go? I can't remember. I never was very good at Japanese."
" 'In life, compassion: " I say. " 'In traveling, a companion, in life, compassion: "
she repeats, making sure of it. If she had paper and pencil, it wouldn't surprise me if she wrote it down. "So what does that really mean? In simple terms."
I think it over. It takes me a while to gather my thoughts, but she waits patiently. "I think it means," I say, "that chance encounters are what keep us going. In simple terms."
She mulls that over for a while, then slowly brings her hands together on top of the table and rests them there lightly."I think you're right about that - that chance encounters keep us going."
I glance at my watch.It's five-thirty already. "Maybe we better be getting back."
"Yeah, I guess so. Let's go,"

Quote ― Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance
Happy Sliders Sunday
Nonethless, as a voiceless wind-up bird unable to wind the world's spring, I decided to go flying through the summer sky - which turned out to be fairly easy. Once you were up, all you had to do was flap your wings at the right angle to adjust direction and altitude. My body mastered the art in a moment and sent me flying effortlessly wherever I wanted to go. I looked at the world from the wind-up bird's vantage point. Whenever i had had enough flying, I would land on a branch and peer through the green leaves at rooftops and roads. I watched people moving over the ground, carrying on the functions of life. Unfortunately, though, I could not see my own body. This was because I had never once seen the wind-up bird and had no idea what it looked like.
For a long time - how long could it have been? - I remained the wind-up bird. But being the wind-up bird never got me anywhere. The flying part was fun, of course, but I couldn't go on having fun for ever. There was something I had to accomplish down here in the darkness at the bottom of the well. I stopped being the wind-up bird and returned to being myself.
(Haruki Murakami - excerpt from The Wind-up Bird Chronicle)
“Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?”
― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

"The sun sliced through the trees, sealing me in light.
I closed my eyes and felt the warmth on my eyelids.
Sunlight traveled a long distance to reach this planet;
an infinitesimal portion of that sunlight was enough to warm my eyelids.
I was moved."
— Haruki Murakami

"...a loneliness would always claim his heart. He could never quite get a grip on what it was. It just seemed that whatever lay waiting "out there" was all too vast, too overwhelming for him to possibly ever make a dent in."

“I want you always to remember me. Will you remember that I existed, and that I stood next to you here like this?”

Memories warm you up from the inside.
But they also tear you apart.....
No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.

Things can be seen better in the darkness," he said, as if he had just seen into her mind. "But the longer you spend in the dark, the harder it becomes to return to the world above ground where the light is."

I will remember you … Will you remember me?
No matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away…
They remain with us forever …. like a touchstone.

“No matter where i go, i still end up me. What's missing never changes. The scenery may change, but i'm still the same incomplete person. The same missing elements torture me with a hunger that i can never satisfy. I think that lack itself is as close as i'll come to defining myself.”

In homage to the wonderfull book "Kafka on the shore" by Haruki Murakami.
Find in us the way out of us. No Salva me.
Here you go a collage book cover for 1Q84 made from scrap materials, MT masking tapes, printed photos and glassine envelope. Today I could only find time to read 2 pages because of errands to run. Call it tantric reading pleasure :)
A circle ⭕️ that has many centers but no circumstance… Crème de la crème….This circle is, most likely, not a circle with a concrete, actual form but, rather, one that exists only within our minds. When we truly love somebody, or feel deep compassion, or have an idealistic sense of how the world should be, or when we discover faith (or something close to faith)—that’s when we understand the circle as a given and accept it in our hearts. Admittedly, though, this is nothing more than my own vague attempt to reason it out.
Your brain is made to think about difficult things. To help you get to a point where you understand something that you didn’t understand at first. And that becomes the cream of your life. The rest is boring and worthless. That was what the gray-haired old man told me. On a cloudy Sunday afternoon in late autumn, on top of a mountain in Kobe, as I clutched a small bouquet of red flowers. And even now, whenever something disturbing happens to me, I ponder again that special circle, and the boring and the worthless. And the unique cream that must be there, deep inside me. ♦ Haruki Murakami
“… Closing your eyes isn’t going to change anything. Nothing’s going to disappear just because you can’t see what’s going on. In fact, things will be even worse the next time you open your eyes. Only a coward closes his eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won’t make time stand still.”
Haruki Murakami "Kafka on the shore"
