In the process of searching for oneself and pushing through the dense forest of the mind's, subconscious’s, habits’, fears’, and happiness-destroying beliefs’ entanglements, we sometimes come across an element that clearly requires removal or at least transformation within our being. Take fear, for example.

Silent palms. Black. On a black sky. A bright moon, bitten from one side. It squints cleverly with its remaining eye. A fresh taste of the ocean river lingers in the air, along the most beautiful road in the most beautiful state of the most American country.

I remember once standing at a bus stop in twenty-degree frost, waiting for the bus. The bus was taking forever, and I was wearing thin autumn boots because my mom and I didn’t have money for winter boots.

The subconscious is the unconscious work of the mind. The more aware a person is, the less the subconscious kicks in, and the fewer subpersonalities try to take over the main personality. Lately, I’ve stopped using the term "subconscious" much... I bring almost everything to a conscious level. It’s quite interesting.

A. Dumas said, “Not a day without a line!” I’m certainly not Dumas. Not at all. But sometimes I get the feeling that I just have to write. That if I don’t write, something will go wrong. And the right thing won’t happen.

Who knows – maybe all of this is given to us to prepare us for something even more beautiful, right here, in this very life. Or perhaps they, up there, are sitting, watching us, and laughing at how we dream of the moment when everything will finally come together, when everything will come true, when there will be no barriers, no cruel ironies of fate.

We strongly concentrate our understanding of love as a process directed towards one person, whereas love is a state that is available to us at any moment because life is love. We are not open enough if we allow ourselves to squeeze out a tiny bit of love for one person when we can open up to the whole world.

Once, a human naively assumed himself to be nothing less than the king of nature. No, enough of that! King! Let him be released into the open field, face to face with the king of beasts, and I believe, to our mutual regret, there will be no boundaries because Mr. Lion will devour the imaginary crown-bearer and leave no bones, the scoundrel.
