Light, Kites, Currents

Why are we so fascinated by the light...? When we know it will draw us in, blind us, rob us of our judgment skills, rob us of our everything. Why are we drawn to the sun? When we know we are safer in the dark, where we're invisible, where the cold is all around us, and hence won't touch us... Why do we peer up to the sky, trying to close our eyes, but we seem unable to... We let ourselves be drawn in, we let ourselves be caught, and again we're drifting in those currents, again we're letting ourselves fly with the dangerous kites. For a moment just to lift from the ground, without once thinking that kite will drop us twice as hard to hit the ground.

  1. I think that it is one of the things that separates us from animals - we don't want to survive, we want to live.
    No matter the risk.
