Birds can't fly! At least not in this place. Swimming, they delve into the air of opposite waters.
I shall learn to swim better, this grounded human animal I am. Interested no more in neutral lies.
As I swim onto the shores of a third distance, forward on my back, I stroke. While resting, I know my stamina is but a second sight, for things that are truly possible.
While heaven and earth speak of more opinions, we had gone against the grain because we thought we could fly!
So, my little BirdFish, how does one swim amongst the air? By having faith in this, the first heaven?

When Dream Becomes A Motive
The dream ensnares your innocence, to chip away. Installing a judge as well the victim of circumstance. They never give you a chance to dream on your own, unless of course your proclivities are to suspect a detective of retalitory commitment, what a foe!

Michel Onfray
"La fiction de Jésus n’a été nourrie que de mots, de couleurs, de pierres, de livres, de chants. Le Christ est une invention des hommes qui a nécessité la confiscation de l’art pour rendre possible une incarnation." The fiction of Jesus was nourished only by words, colours, stones, books, songs. Christ is an invention of men that has required the confiscation of art to make possible an incarnation. Michel Onfray, from Cosmos

Final Call
She flings her arms around my neck and squeezes me like she’s never going to let me go. My head spins as her lips brush against my cheek. She must be able to feel my heart thumping in my chest. I shuffle backwards and ram my hands into my coat pockets, watching her reach down and heave the rucksack across her shoulders.
