At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows
 where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me
 at the dark end of the street,
 you and me.

Diamanda Galas
At the Dark End of the Street


A big thanks to the artist.

We must be free

but because we practice it.

Alice in wonderland by Stephanie Jager


If you are a dreamer come in
if you are a dreamer a wisher a liar
a hoper a pray-er a magic-bean buyer
if you are a pretender com sit by my fire
for we have some flax golden tales to spin
come in!
come in!

The only way
 of discovering
 the limits of the possible
 is to venture a little way past them
 into the impossible.

There is a place in the heart
that will never be filled
a space
and even during the best moments
and the greatest times
we will know it
we will know it
more than ever
there is a place in the heart
that we will never be filled
and
we will wait
and wait
in that space.

You get so alone at times that it just makes sense, 1986
Charles Bukowski

Printemps qui vient fleurir le temps
arrive un jour sans que l'on voit venir
Printemps qui vient comme le vent
souffler sur l'hiver et le faire partir
Printemps qui vient renaitre à nouveau
nous caresser la peau et nous faire sourire
Printemps qui vient avec la Douceur
accueillir le Soleil qu'on avait oublié
Printemps qui vient nous réchauffer
arroser les jardins, faire jaillir les fleurs
Printemps que vient nous dire Je t'aime
aufin qu'on puisse tout recommencer.

We are more interested

we are happy
than trying to be happy
ourselves.

are to be loved,
in secret,
between the shadow
and the soul.

Every heart has its secret sorrows
which the world knows not,
and oftentimes we call a man
cold,
when he is only sad.

Caco at Montparnasse, photo by Lucien Clergue, Paris, 1975




Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you.
You must travel it by yourself.
It is not far. It is within reach.
Perhaps you have been on it since you were born,
and did not know.
Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.


Walt Whitman,
Laves of Grass

Arno Rafael Minkinnen & Lord Byron

In secret we met,
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?

With silence and tears.

George Gordon Byron

Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made
all the difference.

Not everything that is faced
